British Wildlife is the leading natural history magazine in the UK, providing essential reading for both enthusiast and professional naturalists and wildlife conservationists. Published eight times a year, British Wildlife bridges the gap between popular writing and scientific literature through a combination of long-form articles, regular columns and reports, book reviews and letters.
Conservation Land Management (CLM) is a quarterly magazine that is widely regarded as essential reading for all who are involved in land management for nature conservation, across the British Isles. CLM includes long-form articles, events listings, publication reviews, new product information and updates, reports of conferences and letters.
The goal of building systems that can adapt to their environments and learn from their experience has attracted researchers from many fields, including computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, neuroscience, and cognitive science. Out of this research has come a wide variety of learning techniques, including methods for learning decision trees, decision rules, neural networks, statistical classifiers, and probabilistic graphical models. The researchers in these various areas have also produced several different theoretical frameworks for understanding these methods, such as computational learning theory, Bayesian learning theory, classical statistical theory, minimum description length theory, and statistical mechanics approaches. These theories provide insight into experimental results and help to guide the development of improved learning algorithms. A goal of the series is to promote the unification of the many diverse strands of machine learning research and to foster high quality research and innovative applications. This series publishes works of the highest quality that advance the understanding and practical application of machine learning and adaptive computation.
