Overview

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, ALT 2003, held in Sapporo, Japan in October 2003.

The 19 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers and abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on inductive inference, learning and information extraction, learning with queries, learning with non-linear optimization, learning from random examples, and online prediction.
