Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering
and Automated Learning (IDEAL'03)

March 21-23, 2003, Hong Kong
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

The IDEAL'03 conference will be co-jointly held with International
Conference
on Computational Intelligence for Financial Engineering (CIFEr2003) and
sponsored

As a biennial conference, IDEAL was firstly launched from Hong Kong in 1998,
which is dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data
analysis and engineering and their associated learning paradigms. Following
from the past highly successful IDEAL'98, IDEAL'00 and IDEAL'02, IDEAL will
become an annual conference starting from Year 2003. The fourth conference
will aim to provide a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and
industry to meet and to exchange ideas on the latest developments in data
engineering and learning, 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.
