The landscape contest is a research competition aimed at finding out the relation between data complexity and the performance of learners. Comparing your techniques to those of other participants may contribute to enrich our understanding of the behavior of machine learning techniques and open further research lines.
The contest will take place [...]

Over the last few years, the increasing interest in machine learning has resulted in the design and development of several competitive learners. Usually, the performance of these methods is evaluated by comparing the new techniques to state-of-the-art methods over a collection of real-world problems.
In early days, these comparisons followed no standard, and qualitative arguments [...]

Tomorrow, the international Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems conference (HAIS) gets started in Salamanca with the special session of Knowledge Extraction based on Evolutionary Learning (KEEL). In this special session, the following 14 papers that use evolutionary algorithms for different purposes in the field of machine learning will be presented:

A few days ago, Prof. Cirac was interviewed in a Catalan TV channel about his work on quantum theory of information. Prof. Cirac explained the method based on quantum cryptography that he and his team have been developing during the last few years, which makes sure that the information can be neither intercepted nor decrypted. [...]

Over the last few decades, it has been shown that GAs (and derivate methods such as GPs) are able to solve complex real-world problems and rediscover engineering and scientific findings which were originally deduced after many years of investigation. Recently, Hod Lipson and Michael Schmidt have provided the scientific community with another cool [...]

Some time ago I was told about the project Wolfram|Alpha by the creator of Mathematica and the author of a new kind of science (NKS), Stephen Wolfram. This project aims at going beyond the typical process of search engines by proposing a system that computes the answers of user questions. That is, instead of [...]

Some few days ago, while preparing my lectures about neural networks, I ran into the video “The next generation of neural networks” by Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers in machine learning and in the field of neural networks in particular.
Hinton starts the talk by presenting the first generation of neural networks, which included systems [...]
