A review of the fourth International Workshop on Machine Learning

What happens when you leave 160 machine learning researchers in the Southern California sun for four days? Incrementally examining the condition of each, one might induce that all were well done. Reasoning from a partial theory of social conventions, one might deduce an explanation that they participated in the Fourth International Workshop on Machine Learning, held between June 22 and 25 at the University of California, Irvine. In fact, the latter conclusion is the correct one. The proceedings of the workshop are available through Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Inc.
