Preface

This volume contains the papers presented at the 16th Annual International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory (ALT 2005), which was held in Singapore (Republic of Singapore), October 8–11, 2005. The main objective of the conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of the theoretical foundations of machine learning as well as their relevance to practical applications. The conference was co-located with the 8th International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2005). The conference was also held in conjunction with the centennial celebrations of the National University of Singapore. The volume includes 30 technical contributions, which were selected by the program committee from 98 submissions. It also contains the ALT 2005 invited talks presented by Chih-Jen Lin (National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan) on “Training Support Vector Machines via SMO-type Decomposition Methods,” and by Vasant Honavar (Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA) on “Algorithms and Software for Collaborative Discovery from Autono
