ESANN 2015: European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning Bruges, Belgium, 22-23-24 April 2015 http://www.esann.org/ Preliminary program The preliminary program of the ESANN 2015 conference is now available on the Web: http://www.esann.org/ For 23 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. ESANN 2015 will include the following sessions: - Prototype-based and weightless models - Emerging techniques and applications in multi-objective reinforcement learning - Sequence learning and time series - Regression and prediction - Feature and kernel learning - Graphs in machine learning - Manifold learning and optimization - Feature and model selection, sparse models - Advances in learning analytics and educational data mining - Classification - Image processing and vision systems - Unsupervised nonlinear dimensionality reduction - Unsupervised learning - Kernel methods The program of the conference can be found at 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 esann@uclouvain.be<mailto: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 center, which is inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage list, is in itself a real open air museum.
