Fourth International Conference
on Intelligent Data Engineering
and Automated Learning (IDEAL'03)
March 21-23, 2003, Hong
Kong
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
The IDEAL'03 conference will be co-jointly held with International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Financial Engineering (CIFEr2003) and sponsored by Hong Kong Baptist University.
As a biennial conference, IDEAL was firstly launched from Hong Kong in 1998, which is dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data analysis and engineering and their associated learning paradigms. Following from the past highly successful IDEAL'98, IDEAL'00 and IDEAL'02, IDEAL will become an annual conference starting from Year 2003. The fourth conference will aim to provide a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to meet and to exchange ideas on the latest developments in data engineering and learning, and to share their successes. IDEAL is an ideal forum for revealing and developing the latest theoretical advances and practical applications in intelligent data engineering and automated learning.
