Aim of the Workshop

SVM2002 is the first workshop of a series aimed to create a common international forum for researchers of the diverse communities working in the field of practical applications of Support Vector Machines for Pattern Recognition

Technical Program

You are invited to participate in an intensive, single-track, one day workshop on practical applications of Support Vector Machines. This workshop aims to facilitate debates on pattern recognition systems based on support vector machines and to provide a chance for the researchers in the area to exchange up-to-date knowledge and experiences.
Contributions are sought in all areas related to support vector machines including

experimental evaluation of SVM

benchmarking SVMs against other methods

extension of SVM and kernel methods

pattern recognition applications

computer vision applications

signal processing applications

speech recognition applications

document analysis applications

data mining applications

text classification applications

bioinformatics applications

innovative applications

hardware and architecture

effective implementations for large scale problems

Paper Submission

To facilitate fast review process, electronic submissions are encouraged in PDF or PostScript format to the workshop home page by March 31, 2002. Full Papers can be up to 15 pages long and prepared according to the typesetting instructions of Springer-Verlag. All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two members of the appropriate program committee. Accepted papers will apprear in the proceedings that will be published in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer-Verlag, and will be distributed to all participants at the workshop. Extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence(Vol. 17, No. 3, 2003).

Review Process

Papers will be submitted to blind reviews. Selection criteria include accracy and originality of the ideas, clarity and significance of the results, and quality of the presentation.
At least one of the authors of accepted papers should register to the workshop when submitting the camera-ready copy of the manuscript for the paper to be printed in the workshop proceedings. Authors are expected to present their work at the workshop.
