There has been lately a strong interest within the Machine Learning community concerning the elicitation of this control knowledge, referred to as Declarative Bias. It grows with the development of real world applications that require more adaptable learning tools and more complex representation languages. Representing control knowledge in a declarative way allows an expert in ML or the ML system itself to easily shift it. Past experiences with ML applications have demonstrated that cooperation with the user speeds up the learning process by providing explicit control information when available. Declarative bias is therefore a concise and powerful way for the user to explicitly program the ML system, instead of tuning low level knowledge such as examples and domain theory representation in order to improve learning results. Three types of biases may be characterised. The first class a priori restricts the initial set of candidate definitions for the target concept (search space), referred to as language biases, the second class sets heuristics to improve the search for the best definition(s) through the search space. The third class defines validation criteria for learning. It is obviously a difficult task for the user to find the appropriate combination of biases to meet her/his expectations. Shifting biases with respect to discrepancies observed between actual learning results and expected ones is a promising research issue. Validation of results and shift of bias may be incrementally performed, after each learning step by submitting intermediate results to the user or at the end of the learning process. This cyclic task will be as easy as the relationship between biases and her/his learning goals are stated clearly. Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing their favorite learning system(s) in terms of elementary learning steps and biases belonging to each of the three above classes. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Authors should submit a paper or an extended abstract (not less than 2 pages) fully explaining the relevance of their work to the workshop. Persons wishing to participate but who do not wish to give a presentation should submit an abstract (1 page) describing their research and/or interest in the subject area and their expected contributions to the workshop. Papers / abstracts should be sent in five copies by March 1 to: Celine Rouveirol LRI Bat 490 Universite Paris-Sud F-91405 Orsay, France Tel : +33 (1) 69 41 64 62 Fax : +33 (1) 69 41 65 86 e-mail : celine@lri.fr Notification of acceptance will be e-mailed or faxed by March 15 (please specify your email or fax on the submitted paper). ORGANISATION All attendees will receive before the workshop a list of topics and open questions that have emerged from the accepted papers. To stimulate discussions, presentations are strongly encouraged to refer to these. The worshop will start with a panel presenting the key issues that will be discussed during the sessions. Schedule will leave time for open discussions and syntheses. PROGRAM COMMITTEE Rouveirol C. Univ. Paris-Sud, France Bergadano F. Univ. Catania, Italy Esposito F. Univ. Bari, Italy Lavrac N.

This ECML MLNet workshop intends to bring together the various approaches to revision and restructuring that have been developed under different perspectives within Machine Learning. Traditionally, revision has been a part of incremental or hill-climbing learning systems which keep only one current hypothesis and modify it whenever new examples arise. More recently, revision has been identified has an important part of approaches that learn multiple predicates simultaneously, and incorporated as a central component of integrated multi-strategy learning systems. Moreover, revision and restructuring are also important topics in several neighboring fields such as knowledge representation, logic programming or deductive databases. The workshop invites submissions on all topics related to theory revision and restructuring, including but not limited to: o multiple-predicate learning o selection of preferred revisions, bias, constraints o revision as a part of multi-strategy learners o relationships to neighboring fields (e.g. revision work in knowledge representation and deductive database communities) o scientific theory revision o debugging techniques for revision o theory restructuring o applications of these techniques Authors intending to present their work should submit a two-page abstract of their talk until March 1st, 1994, to: Stefan Wrobel GMD, I3.KI, Schloss Birlinghoven 53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany stefan.wrobel@gmd.de preferably by E-Mail in LaTeX.
