Learning, Networks and Statistics

The contents of these proceedings reflect the intention of the organizers of the workshop to bring together scientists and engineers having a strong interest in interdisciplinary work in the fields of computer science, mathematics and applied statistics. Results of this collaboration are illustrated in problems dealing with neural nets, statistics and networks, classification and data mining, and (machine) learning.
