Colloquium Presentation

Algorithmic Information Theory is one of the most important theoretical contribution to computer science. It strongly defines the concept of information content. Jointly discovered during the sixties by A.N. Kolmogorov, R. Solomonoff and C. J. Chaitin, it became widely known in the computer science research communauty only at the beginning of the nineties, thanks to the remarquable work of M. Li and P. Vitányi.
In 1997, a few French theoretical computer science researchers decided to create a national conference on this topic, in order to strenght the links and make knowledge and questions moving inside the communauty of interested people.
The first colloquium took place in Lille on june, 23th-24th 1997. It gathered around 20 people. V. Uspenski, professor at the University of Moscow, and former Kolmogorov's student, was there as inveitesd guest.
The second colloquium held in Lyon, on september 10th-11th 1998, with S. Shen as invited guest.
The third edition took place in Nancy, on may 20th-21st 1999. Around 40 people participated, among them a lot of famous guests.

The forth meeting is coming back to Lille, and will take place on june 8th-9th 2000. This edition will particularly focus on one topic : application of Algorithmic Information Theory to Machine Learning and Inductive Inference. The special guests are Professors Paul Vitányi and Peter Gacs. Paul Vitányi widely helped in spreading the Algorithmic Information Theory through the scientific communauty. He is the author of many papers about the links between Algorithmic Information Theory and Inductive Inference. Peter Gacs produced many important works on Algorithmic Information Theory.

Place

The meeting will take place in the "Maison de la recherche" at the University of Lille 3 in Villeneuve d'Ascq not far from Lille.

Organisation

It is organized by the GRAPPA team (Machine learning Group) of the University of Lille 3, together with the University of Lille1 (L.I.F.L. associated team).
