AIMS AND SCOPE

The purpose of the planned special issue is to present a representative cross-section of the exciting work that is going on in this area. 数据挖掘研究院

Authors are invited to submit articles on substantial work that combines grammatical inference with applications. We place no restrictions on the type of applications, the way grammatical inference is used. 数据挖掘研究院

Some topics that are of interest are:

• Robotics: map learning, language learning
• Computational linguistics: parsing, natural language processing, language modelling
• Information extraction (IE): world wide web IE, wrapper induction, DTD learning
• User modelling: web usage mining, web personalisation
• Semantic modelling: ontology learning
• Computational biology: biological sequence analysis, motif extraction, structure predictions
• Machine translation: transducer learning, language alignment, bi-language modelling
• Music modelling: musical style classification, automatic composition

Note that this is not an exhaustive list and non-classical applications such as animal language modelling, strategy learning, etc. are strongly encouraged. 数据挖掘研究院

The main criterion is substance and quality. All submissions will be peer reviewed. 数据挖掘研究院

PAPERS PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED IN CONFERENCES/WORKSHOPS

Authors of papers that appeared previously in refereed conferences and workshops (e.g. in the 2005 IJCAI workshop on Grammatical Inference Applications: Successes and Future Challenges - http://www.ics.mq.edu.au/~menno/IJCAI05/)) are encouraged to submit extended versions of their papers. Such extended papers must be significantly different from the conference version, as well as accessible to the broad readership of the journal, not just to researchers in Grammatical Inference.

数据挖掘实验室

More generally, authors submitting extended versions of previously published conference/ workshop papers are strongly encouraged to expand on the material that was included in the original paper, e.g., to provide more details, to give greater, more in-depth, discussion of the results and related work, to expand upon the experimental results, and to give a more thorough and scholarly treatment of the material (than was possible in a conference paper). Submissions must not have appeared in, nor be under consideration by, other journals. Authors of papers whose previous versions appeared in refereed conferences and workshops are requested to provide the previously published version of their papers, as well as to include in their submission a brief letter stating the differences between the prior published version and this AAI Special Issue submission.

DETAILED SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Papers must be sent to Colin de la Higuera (cdlh@univ-st-etienne.fr).
