CONFERENCE ON AUTOMATED LEARNING AND DISCOVERY
The Conference on Automated Learning and Discovery will bring together
leading researchers from various scientific disciplines concerned with
learning from data. It will cover scientific research at the
intersection of statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence,
databases, social sciences and language technologies. The goal of
this meeting is to explore new, unified research directions in this
cross-disciplinary field.
The conference features eight one-day cross-disciplinary workshops,
interleaved with seven invited plenary talks by renowned
statisticians, computer scientists, and cognitive scientists. The
workshops will address issues such as: what is the state of the art,
what can we do and what is missing? what are promising research
directions? what are the most promising opportunities for
cross-disciplinary research?
