The ECML-PKDD 2013 Organizing Committee invites proposals for half-day tutorials to be held on the first and last days of the conference, which will take place in Prague, Czech Republic from September 23th to 27th, 2013.

The Finnish Center of Excellence in Computational Inference Research (COIN), a joint research center of Aalto University and University of Helsinki, is now seeking postdoctoral researchers to join us in developing and applying new methods of machine learning and probabilistic modeling, together with professors Samuel Kaski and Petri Myllymäki, with opportunities for collaboration with other professors at COIN. There are opportunities for both methods development and theoretical work, and interdisciplinary applications.

Special Issue on
Learning in Non-(geo)metric Spaces

Traditional machine learning and pattern recognition techniques are intimately linked to the notion of “feature space.” Adopting this view, each object is described in terms of a vector of numerical attributes and is therefore mapped to a point in a Euclidean
(geometric) vector space so that the distances between the points reflect the observed (dis)similarities between the respective objects.
