IDEAL is a biennial conference dedicated to emerging and challenging topics
in intelligent data analysis and engineering and their associated learning
paradigms. Following the highly successful IDEAL'98 and IDEAL'00 conferences
held in Hong Kong, the third conference in this series will bring together
researchers, scientists and practitioners from all over the world to present
their findings, to exchange ideas, 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. The main themes of the conference are Document Analysis and
Management, Data Mining and Fusion, Financial Engineering, Agents, and
Bioinformatics. IDEAL'02 will be held at UMIST (University of Manchester
Institute of Science and Technology), Manchester, UK, a university with a
reputation of innovation and a long history in leading research and
development. Manchester is the birthplace of the industrial revolution, the
computer revolution and many developments in artificial intelligence. The
conference is organised in collaboration with the IEEE Neural Networks
Council.
