         The Twelfth European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML'01)

                                      and

     The Fifth European Conference on Principles and Practice of Knowledge
                       Discovery in Databases (PKDD'01)

                    September 3-7, 2001, Freiburg, Germany

In 2001, the 12th European Conference on Machine Learning is co-located with
      the 5th European Conference on Principles and Practice of Knowledge
   Discovery in Databases. It is the first time -- world-wide -- that a KDD
conference is co-located with an ML conference. The co-location should allow
ample opportunities for cross-fertilization between these two domains. There
    will be one overlap day for joint invited speakers and joint submitted
                                   papers.


Workshop proposal deadline: 16 February 2001

Tutorial proposal deadline: 28 February 2001

Paper submission deadline: 6 April 2001 (titlepage), 11 April 2001 (paper)
