Model selection - computational methods and applications
Data driven machine learning and all computational data analysis is performed under a model. It is clear that the choice of model, both in terms of its architecture and, importantly, its complexity, effect the analysis results. How then can models be evaluated and the appropriate model complexity inferred? Although many partially successful heuristic approaches exist, the overarching framework of Bayesian learning offers an elegant and principled methodology in which many alternative methods may be seen as special or limit cases. This talk will review the principles behind model selection paradigms and offer a series of case studies.

Invited Sessions
MULTI MODAL RECOGNITION FOR HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION
Recently there has been a rapid interest and growth in human-computer interaction using voice. In fact, from the early period of the computer age, researchers have dreamed of the conversational computer or a machine that we could engage in natural spoken conversation.
Nevertheless, despite prolonged research and many notable scientific and technological achievements, an actual human-computer interface that can interact with humans naturally is still not a reality under real-world conditions where there is uncertainty due to noise such as in vehicles, mobile applications, and portable equipment. In fact present automatic speech recognition systems perform unsatisfactorily in such real-time noisy environments.
It has been proposed that the capability and robustness of speech recognition in real world noisy environments can be significantly improved by undertaking research in three main theoretical areas of multi-disciplinary research: Multi-modal recognition interfaces, Robust lip tracking and pose invariant features for lip reading, Soft computing for data fusion and robustness to multi-user speech variability, and noise robustness and handling uncertainty using independent component analysis (ICA). The main theoretical foundation of this research is the fact that is has been demonstrated by psychologists that humans perceive speech by looking at visual features as well as by hearing audio features.
Thus papers are invited which address any of these pertinent issues in multi-modal speech recognition in order to advance the theory and practice of the field

Bangor
Bangor is a small rural city of approximately 15,000 people. It is located between the Menai Straits and the foot of the National Park. With the surrounding medieval castles at Caernarfon, Conwy, and Beaumaris and the Roman fort of Segontium, tourists to Bangor will find themselves swept away deep into the history of Wales.
The university in Bangor was founded in 1884 and has become an integral part of the community. During the school year, the population of Bangor increases by approximately 5,000 people. There is a diverse range of shopping and entertainment to be found throughout Bangor and various activities are ongoing.
For more information please visit the local Bangor website at:
www.bangor.ac.uk/university.html
Transportation
BY AIR
The best airport for both overseas and domestic flights is Manchester. This is the third busiest airport in the U.K. with a wide range of services. More information can be found at www.manairport.co.uk
FROM MANCHESTER AIRPORT TO BANGOR BY RAIL:
There are up to 15 rail connections to Bangor each day (reduced service at weekends) and journey times vary from 2 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours. All journeys require one change, usually at Crewe, but some require two changes.
There is an on-line timetable and booking facility at www.virgintrains.co.uk
BY RAIL
Bangor has excellent rail connections to all parts of the U.K. with direct trains from London taking as little as 3 ½ hours. An on-line timetable and booking facility is available at www.virgintrains.co.uk
BY ROAD
Delegates driving to Bangor are advised to approach North Wales via the M6 and M56 before joining the A55 expressway to Bangor. The M6 provides links to all parts of the U.K. via the motorway network.
BY FERRY
High speed and conventional services sail from the Dublin area to the port of Holyhead, 25 miles from Bangor. Convenient ferries from Northern Europe (Holland, Germany and Scandinavia) arrive at ports in the Humber Estuary from where the M62 motorway leads to the M6.
BY COACH / BUS
Coach travel in the U.K. is relatively slow and there are fewer connections than by rail. London to Bangor takes from 7 to 8 ½ hours and there are only two direct services a day. More information can be found at www.gobycoach.com
Accommodation
Various hotel accommodation may be found at the following website:

Social and Tourist Activities
Various activities and social events will be arranged.
