8th German Japanese Forum - this year including Machine Learning
The 8th German Japanese Forum took place in Weimar, Germany,
from the 3rd to the 6th May. It is a meeting of governmental
institutions and scientists, who are selected by the ministries
for research and technology. Scientific topics are selected
that are of importance for the ministries. In this year, for the
first time machine learning was represented:
Naoki Abe (NEC Corporation, Kawasaki, Kanagawa):
"The Probabilistic PAC Learning Model",
Katharina Morik (Univ. Dortmund & GMD, St. Augustin):
"Overview of Logic-Based Learning in Germany",
Gholamreza Nakheizadeh (Daimler Benz AG,Ulm)
"Applications of Machine Learning in Finance",
Ko-ichi Furukawa (Keio Univ., Endo)
"Inductive Generalization in Constraint Logic Programming".
The hope is that machine learning as a key technology will
receive more attention than in the past. Prof. Dr. Gerhard Barth,
the head of the Daimler Benz Research Laboratories for Information
Technologies, is convinced that learning is a central issue in
information technology.

From: Ashwin Ram <ashwin@cc.gatech.EDU>
Subject: Electronic/FTP archives for papers and TRs
Many technical reports and papers are now available on-line from various FTP
sites around the world, making it more and more difficult to search for papers
on some topic of interest. If you've made your papers available, may I suggest
that you put a list of titles and abstracts in cs-techreport-abstracts.src?
This is a database of tech reports, preprints, reprints and papers that
currently contains around 5,000 papers. It is easy to add to it: just e-mail
your abstracts to wais@rdt.monash.edu.au. It is also easy to use: just invoke
wais (or xwais on an X workstation), type in the keywords you want (e.g.,
"reinforcement learning") and it gives you a list of papers that match. You can
then double-click on the title to see the full abstract, FTP information, etc.
My students and I have found it very useful, and I hope you will too.
To use cs-techreport-abstracts.src, simply create the file
~/wais-sources/cs-techreport-abstracts.src containing the following:
(:source
:version 3
:ip-address "130.194.74.201"
:ip-name "daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
:tcp-port 210
:database-name "cs-techreport-abstracts"
:cost 0.00
:cost-unit :free
:maintainer "wais@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au"
)
Now invoke wais, xwais, or whatever wais client you have on your system, select
cs-techreport-abstracts.src as the source to search, and type in the keywords
you want. It's that simple.
To add your papers to the database, e-mail a file containing the list of papers
to wais@rdt.monash.edu.au in the following format (see the file
daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au:/pub/techreports/reports/README for details):
%TI Title
%AU Author (use multiple %AU lines for multiple authors)
%PU Published In (citation information)
%AV Availability (e.g., ftp ftp.cc.gatech.edu:/pub/ai/git-cc-92-19.ps.Z)
%OR Organization (see cs-techreport-archives.src for institution codes)
%LT Local title (e.g., tech report number)
%DA Date (and, if you want, %MN Month, %YR Year)
%AB Abstract
If your papers are not available by FTP, you can use a %AV line such as:
%AV mail ashwin@cc.gatech.edu
The more of us contribute, the more useful the database becomes for all of us.
Ideally, we could all go to this one place to search for tech reports on some
topic of interest from anywhere.
Oh, by the way, cs-journal-titles.src (maintained by the same people) indexes
journal papers from CS journals by title. I noticed that ML and AI journals
were not indexed. Sigh.

issues in evolutionary optimization, as well as provide information on
upcoming conferences, events, journals, special issues, and other items of
interest to the EP community. Discussions on all areas of evolutionary
computation are welcomed, including artificial life, evolution strategies,
and genetic algorithms. The digest is meant to encourage interdisciplinary
communications. Your suggestions and comments regarding the digest are
always welcome.
To subscribe to the digest, send mail to ep-list-request@magenta.me.fau.edu

evolutionary process of natural selection. Topics of particular interest
include: genetic algorithms and classifier systems, evolution strategies,
and other forms of evolutionary computation; machine learning and
optimization using these methods, their relations to other learning
paradigms (e.g., neural networks and simulated annealing), and mathematical
descriptions of their behavior.
The meeting will include pre-conference tutorials, invited speakers, and

>From Chicago: Take I-57 south to I-74 east which runs along the north edge
of Champaign-Urbana. Take the Lincoln Avenue exit south. Once you reach

call 217/352-3121.
By Train:
AMTRAK service is also available from Chicago and points south.
Weather: The weather in Illinois can vary to extremes. Please be prepared

very humid. Rain wear is also suggested.
On-Campus Recreation: If you wish to take advantage of the recreation
facilities on campus, you may purchase an IMPE
(Intramural-Physical Education) pass for $5 per day upon showing your name
badge at each recreation facility.
Messages: If someone needs to reach you during the conference, they may
