ESANN 2013: European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning Bruges, Belgium, 24-25-26 April 2013 <http://www.esann.org/> http://www.esann.org/ Preliminary program The preliminary program of the ESANN 2013 conference is now available on the Web: <http://www.esann.org/> http://www.esann.org/ For those of you who maintain WWW pages including lists of related machine learning and artificial neural networks sites: we would appreciate if you could add the above URL to your list; thank you very much! For 21 years the ESANN conference has become a major event in the field of neural computation and machine learning. ESANN is a selective conference focusing on fundamental aspects of artificial neural networks, machine learning, statistical information processing and computational intelligence. Mathematical foundations, algorithms and tools, and applications are covered. The titles of the sessions are: - Machine Learning Methods for Processing and Analysis of Hyperspectral Data - Recurrent networks and modeling - Dimensionality reduction - Image, signal and time series analysis - Feature selection - Reinforcement learning, control and optimization - Machine Learning for multimedia applications - Clustering - Regression and forecasting - Developments in kernel design - Human Activity and Motion Disorder Recognition: towards smarter Interactive Cognitive Environments - Human activity recognition competition - Classification - Sparsity for interpretation and visualization in inference models The program of the conference can be found at <http://www.esann.org/> http://www.esann.org/, together with practical information about the conference venue, registration, etc. Other information can be obtained by sending an e-mail to <mailto:esann@uclouvain.be> esann@uclouvain.be. Venue ------ The conference will be held in Bruges (also called "Venice of the North"), one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Europe. Bruges can be reached by train from Brussels in less than one hour (frequent trains). Designated as the "Venice of the North", the city has preserved all the charms of the medieval heritage. Its centre, which is inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage list, is in itself a real open air museum.
