Special Issue: Machine Learning in Design

摘要

This issue of AIEDAM is based on a workshop on Machine Learning inDesign held at the 1996 Conference on Artifi- cial Intelligence inDesign, AID'96 (Gero Sudweeks, 1996), the third of such workshops,with the previous two being held at AID'92 (Gero, 1992) and at AID'94(Gero Sudweeks, 1994). The first two workshops also resulted inspecial issues of AIEDAM (Maher et al., 1994; Duffy et al., 1996).The purpose of the l996 workshop was to explore the issues in andrequirements of learning in design, with a view to criticallyevaluating the current and needed support avail- able from machinelearning techniques. The objective was not only to identify key areasfor future research, but also to stimulate synergy in the machinelearning in design re- search community.
