GBR Workshop 2007

Pascal workshop: learning from and with graphs

June 14th, 2007 in Alicante (Spain), in conjunction with GBR 2007. (http://www.rvg.ua.es/gbr/).

GBR 2007 is the 6th IAPR -TC-15 Workshop on Graphbased Representations in Pattern Recognition. GBR 2007 will be taking place June 11-13, 2007 in Alicante (Spain).

Goals of the workshop

Graphs, graph based representations, use of graphs to represent the results of the learning process, structural learning are some of the topics that, due to their increasing importance, are to serceive special attention by the PASCAL network in 2007. In order to do this PASCAL has decided to launch a thematic programme « Graph Theory Methods in Machine Learning ». In Pattern Recognition the use of graphs has been an important focus of attention for some time now, with a specific track (15) of the IAPR, and a bi-annual event called GBR (Graphbased Representations in Pattern Recognition). In order to promote collaboration between the different communities interested in learning with and from graphs, we propose to hold a one day PASCAL workshop on learning from and with graphs, workshop that will take place just after GBR 2007. We also encourage participants to the workshop to attend GBR 2007. The workshop consists in scientific talks (invited and submitted), and a « business meeting » to discuss the events inside the Thematic Programme. Researchers are encouraged to submit contributions on; -Machine learning from graph based data, -Graph clustering and classification, -Graphical representations as outputs, -Relational data mining, ...

Important Dates

* 28/2 deadline for submissions to the workshop.
