  COLT'96 will be held in the town of Desenzano del Garda, Italy, from
June 28 through to July 1 1996. We invite papers in areas that relate 
directly to the analysis of learning algorithms and the theory of 
machine learning, including neural networks, statistics, statistical 
physics, Bayesian/MDL estimation, reinforcement learning, inductive 
inference, knowledge discovery in databases, robotics, and pattern 
recognition. We encourage submission of papers describing experimental
results that are supported by theoretical analysis.
