Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition 4th International Conference MLDM 2005 Program 09. 07. – 11. 07. 2005 Organized by: Institute of Computer Vision and Applied Computer Sciences, Leipzig/Germany Welcome We meet again in front of the stature of Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz at the city of Leipzig. Leibniz, a famous son of Leipzig, planed automatic logical inference using symbolic computation and aimed to collate all human knowledge. Today, artificial intelligence deals with large amount of data and knowledge and finds new information using machine learning and data mining in computer. Machine learning and data mining are irreplaceable subject and tools for the theory of pattern recognition and application of pattern recognition such as bioinformatics and data retrieval. This is the fourth edition of MLDM in Pattern Recognition which is the main event of Technical Committee 17 in International Association in Pattern Recognition succeeded from 1999, 2001, and 2003, which started out as a workshop and was continued as a conference in 2003. Today, there are many international meetings which are titled machine learning and data mining, whose topics are text mining, knowledge discovery, and applications. This meeting from the first time has focused on aspects of machine learning and data mining in pattern recognition problems. We planed to re-organize classical and well-established pattern recognition paradigms from viewpoints of machine learning and data mining. Though it was a challenging program in late ‘90’s, the idea has brought new starting points in pattern recognition and effects to the other areas such as cognitive computer vision. In this edition the organizing committee had received 103 submissions from 20 countries. After peer review process, we have accepted 58 papers for presentation. We deeply thank members of program committees and reviewers, who finished hard task to review papers form broad areas and wide range of applications. We also thank members of Institute of Applied Computer Sciences, Leipzig, Germany, who handed the conference as secretariat. We appreciate the help and understanding of the editorial staff at Springer Verlag, and in particular Alfred Hofmann, who supported the publication of these proceedings in LNAI series. Last, but not least, we wish to thank all the speakers and participants who contributed to the success of the conference.
