Everyone is welcome to attend, even if you have not registered, but seating is limited to about 60 persons. Lunch will be served at 12:30 for registered participants in the room next to WWH-1302 where the talks take place. An laptop projector and an overhead projector will be available for speakers.
A mailing list for the NYU Learning community will be set up shortly. If you want to be on the inital list, please send email to yann AT cs.nyu.edu with the following information (please include [NYUWCBL] in the subject line): --------------------------------------------------- cut here ---- * Name: * Email Address: * Website: * Department: --------------------------------------------------- cut here ----
for information only, the deadline is passed please disseminate this announcement within your group/lab/department/school Dear Colleague, We are glad to invite you to the first NYU Workshop on Computational and Biological Learning. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together people of the NYU community who are interested in learning, whether their primary interest is to apply learning techniques in their research, or whether their primary interest is to develop new theories, techniques, and tools for machine learning, computational models of biological learning, statistical estimation, and related fields were computational models are derived from data. Learning and Statistical Estimation methods are used in a wide variety of domains spanning many academic disciplines at NYU: Computer Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, Statistics, Mathematics, Linguistics, Biology, Bioinformatics, Finance, Medicine, even Physics, Music Theory, and the Performing Arts. Current applications of learning methods include data mining, computer vision, natural language processing, behavior modeling, biological modeling, financial time-series prediction, weather prediction, DNA micro-array analysis, gene finding and biological sequence analysis, brain imaging, modeling improvised melodies, and many other topics. Learning researchers are in search of interesting datasets to drive the development of new learning algorithms, while users of learning are in search of solutions to their data analysis and modeling problems. Therefore this workshop's primary goal will be to provide a forum in which researchers can exchange ideas and tips, advertise and exchange software tools, find help on specific topics, find interesting datasets to work with, and hopefully start new collaborations. The workshop will be an informal get-together with short presentations (10 minutes), regular talks (20 minutes), and a small number of tutorial talks (30 minutes). A poster session (mostly for student projects) will also be held. Talks may belong to the following (non-exhaustive) list of categories: Application domains: Neuroscience, Psychology/Linguistics, Biology/Bio-informatics/Chemistry, Numerical Modeling/Physics, Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence, Finance/Economy, Statistics/Operations Research, Arts, Others.
