A brain computer interface with online feedback based on magnetoencephalography

摘要

This volume, which is also available online fromhttp://www.machinelearning.org, contains the papers accepted forpresentation at ICML-2005, the 22nd lnternational Conference onMachine Learning, which was held at the University of Bonn inGermany from August 7 to August 11, 2005. ICML is the annualconference of the lnternational Machine Learning Society (IMLS),and forms an international forum for the discussion andpresentation of the latest results in the field of machinelearning. This year, ICML was co-located with the 15thlnternational Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP-2005),the proceedings of which are published by Springer Verlag in aseparate volume.>The papers in this volume were selected on the basis of athorough review process. In the first round of reviewing, threeprogram committee members produced individual reviews for a paper.Authors then had the opportunity to view those reviews and submitan author's reply to the reviewers. Led by the responsible areachair, thereviewers then engaged in a discussion about the paper,ultimately leading to the decision by the program chairs. In sum,of the 491 papers that were initially submitted, 62 were acceptedimmediately, and a further 81 were conditionally accepted andreconsidered after resubmission in a second round of reviewing. Ofthose 81 conditionally accepted papers, 72 were finally accepted,leading to a total of 134 accepted papers, which translates into anacceptance rate of 27.3 %. The author reply was a new feature ofICML this year, while the option of working with conditionalaccepts has already become a tradition.>In addition to the presentations of the accepted papers, theICML program included several other features. On the first and lastday of the conference, 11 workshops and 6 tutorials on currenttopics of machine learning were held. For many of these,proceedings and/or presentation materials are available online fromthe ICML website. The other days of the conference each featured aninvited talk by a prominent researcher as a program highlight. Wewere delighted that Johannes Gehrke of Cornell University, MichaelJordan of the University of California at Berkeley, and GerhardWidmer of the University of Linz in Austria, agreed to deliver aninvited talk. The abstracts of their talks are also published aspart of these proceedings.>Continuing a long standing tradition at ICML, all paperspresented in a talk at the conference were also exhibited atevening poster sessions, giving everyone ample time to discuss theresults in depth. In order to emphasize the co-location withILP-2005, the program contained joint elements in both invitedspeakers, paper sessions, poster sessions, and tutorials. As usual,the scientific program was complemented by a social program, thistime featuring an excursion to the scenic surroundings of the cityof Bonn.>During the conference best paper and best student paper awardswere presented, the former being sponsored by NICTA, the later bythe Machine Learning Journal.
