Preface

LION 3, the Third International Conference on Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN, was held during January 14–18 in Trento, Italy. The LION series of conferences provides a platform for researchers who are interested in the intersection of efficient optimization techniques and learning. It is aimed at exploring the boundaries and uncharted territories between machine learning, artificial intelligence, mathematical programming and algorithms for hard optimization problems. The considerable interest in the topics covered by LION was reflected by the overwhelming number of 86 submissions, which almost doubled the 48 submissions received for LION’s second edition in December 2007. As in the first two editions, the submissions to LION 3 could be in three
