NN5 Time Series Forecasting Competition

Special Session at the 2008 World Congress on Computational Intelligence
(WCCI'08)

 <http://www.neural-forecasting-competition.com/ijcnn_workshop.htm>
http://www.neural-forecasting-competition.com/ijcnn_workshop.htm

June 1-6, 2008, Hong Kong, China

 

We will be holding a special session on the NN5 competition (
<http://www.neural-forecasting-competition.com>
www.neural-forecasting-competition.com) at the WCCI 2008 conference (
<http://www.wcci2008.org/> http://www.wcci2008.org). All those planning to
submit predictions on the reduced dataset (11 time series) or the complete
dataset (111 time series) are invited to submit abstracts describing their
methods to apply for presentation at the 2008 WCCI conference.

 

-          Abstracts are limited to 500 words, and should describe the
method and methodology used to predict the time series. The title should
indicate the method used and contain 'NN5' in the title, submissions as
plain text via email are encouraged (submitt to
competition-chair at neural-forecasting-competition.com)

-          Presentations are restricted to NN5 competition participants
(those that will submit predictions on the NN5 datasets). Presentations of
those submitting abstracts but not submitting predictions by the deadline
will be cancelled.

-     Presentations at other NN5 conference sessions (e.g. ISF'08 and
DMIN'08) do not preclude presentation at WCCI'08 - you can present at
multiple conference sessions.

-          In order to present at the NN5 session those accepted must
register to attend the main WCCI'08 conference. Those already registered for
WCCI'08 with one or two papers presented in other conference sessions
require no extra registration for this session.

-          The best prediction will win a free registration (refund on site)
awarded during the session

 

Important Dates:

05 April 2008:  Abstracts due (or as soon as possible)

11 April 2008:  Notification of acceptance

15 April 2008:  WCCI early registration deadline

15 May 2008:    Predictions & draft papers due

 

The WCCI competition program includes 10 other exciting competitions and
hundreds of presentations! We look forward to welcoming you in Hong Kong!

 

Kind regards,

Sven F. Crone
