Remark:	 (Expensive as hell, I'm sure.)
	 This is a delightful journal that encourages discussion on a
	 variety of controversial topics.  I have especially enjoyed reading
	 some papers in there by Dana Ballard and Stephen Grossberg (separate
	 papers, not collaborations) a few years back.  They have a really neat
	 concept:  they get a paper, then invite a number of noted scientists
	 in the field to praise it or trash it.  They print these commentaries,
	 and give the author(s) a chance to make a rebuttal or concurrence.
	 Sometimes, as I'm sure you can imagine, things get pretty lively.  I'm
	 reasonably sure they are still at it--I think I saw them make a call
	 for reviewers a few months ago.  Their reviewers are called something
	 like Behavioral and Brain Associates, and I believe they have to be
	 nominated by current associates, and should be fairly well established
	 in the field.  That's probably more than I really know about it but
	 maybe if you post it someone who knows more about it will correct any
	 errors I have made.  The main thing is that I liked the articles I
	 read. (Note: remarks by Don Wunsch <[e-mail]>)

Remark:	 Description: Machine Learning is an international forum for 
         research on computational approaches to learning.  The journal
	 publishes articles reporting substantive research results on a
         wide range of learning methods applied to a variety of task
         domains.  The ideal paper will make a theoretical contribution
         supported by a computer implementation.
         The journal has published many key papers in learning theory,
         reinforcement learning, and decision tree methods.  Recently
         it has published a special issue on connectionist approaches
         to symbolic reasoning.  The journal regularly publishes
         issues devoted to genetic algorithms as well.

                  above into the posting. I cannot name them all, because
                  I would make far too many errors then. :->

                  No ?  Not good ?  You want individual credit ?
                  OK, OK. I'll try to name them all. But: no guarantee....
