Apologies for cross-posting.
Submissions are invited for the 2012 International Symposium on Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) to be held in Singapore from 11th to 13th December.

ABSTRACT
Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) provide efficient unified solutions to generalized feedforward networks including but not limited to feedforward neural networks and kernel learning. ELM possesses unique features to deal with regression and (multi-class) classification tasks. Consequently, ELM offers significant advantages such as fast learning speed, ease of implementation, and least human intervene. ELM has good potential as a viable alternative technique for large-scale computing and artificial intelligence. Organized by EXQUISITUS, Centre for E‐City, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, ELM2012 will be held in the beautiful island-country of Singapore. This symposium will provide a forum for academics, researchers and engineers to share and exchange R&D experience on both theoretical studies and practical applications of the ELM technique. All accepted papers presented in this symposium will be published in special issues of reputable ISI indexed international journals. Potential journals include: Information Sciences, Neurocomputing, Soft Computing, and Neural Computing and Applications. No additional symposium proceedings are provided.
