2011 International Workshop on LEarning and data Mining for Robots (LEMIR 2011)
Dec. 11, 2011 (ICDM organizers changed to 11) in conjunction with ICDM 2011
Submission site
Overview
The last decade has shown significant advances in machine learning (ML)-based robotics, fostered in particular by the DARPA Challenges aimed at autonomous vehicles since 2005. Similar advances in the domain of multi-agent systems (MAS) and swarm robotics (SR) are likely and eagerly expected.
One main barrier for ML and data mining (DM)-based advances in robotics and SR was the fragmentation of the research community due to the rapid development of the research fields involved. Therefore quite a few venues have been organized to address this fragmentation, gradually making the ML and DM communities more aware of the critical issues faced by the Robotics and Multi-Agent communities.
This workshop aims at fostering research in Machine Learning and Data Mining applied to Robots. Below is a non-exhaustive list of expected contributions, as papers on relevant topics are also welcome.
- Machine learning and/or data mining from sensor and log data
- Overcoming the reality gap with learning and/or data mining
- Machine learning and/or data mining for controller design
- Machine learning and/or data mining for evolving robots
- Machine learning and/or data mining for swarm intelligence
- On-board Machine learning and/or data mining
- Bayesian and probabilistic robotics
- Reinforcement learning and apprenticeship learning

Open log data of physical robots (in preparation)
We provide log data of a physical robot to encourage submissions
from a wide range of researchers in ML/DM who have no access to physical
robots. The log data consist of thousands of images (3-6 minutes +
6-9 minutes) with sensor values (0-9 minutes, explanation)
taken by a mobile robot, accompanied with a movie (6-9 minutes).
You may tackle a data mining/machine learning problem on the data, e.g.,
clustering of sensor values from the log data using images.
You may also propose a data mining/machine learning algorithm which is
executed on-board of the robot, e.g., detection of unusual situations
from sensor readings and images by the robot.
Please acknowledge our JST-ANR project on Integrating Symbolic
Discovery with Numerical Machine Learning for Autonomous Swarm Control
in your publication using the data.
To uncover the hidden pictures and the movie, please submit an article to this workshop.
