    Description:

    Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and related kernel methods are
    currently very active research areas within neural computation and
    machine learning. Motivated by statistical learning theory they have
    been successfully applied to numerous tasks within data mining,
    computer vision, and bioinformatics, for example. SVMs are examples of
    a broader category of learning approaches which utilize the concept of
    kernel substitution, thereby making the task of learning more
    tractable by exploiting an implicit mapping into a high dimensional
    space. SVMs have many appealing properties such as solving convex
    quadratic programming problems and they have been found to work very
    well in practice.

    The aim of the special session is to present new perspectives and
    new directions in SVM and kernel methods.
    We seek contributions from different aspects of this topic:
    theory, implementations, new methodologies, and applications.
