Call for Papers
The Twentieth International Conference on Machine Learning
Washington, DC USA
August 21-24, 2003
The Twentieth International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML-2003) will
be held in Washington D.C. August 21-24, 2003. The conference will bring
together researchers to exchange ideas and report recent progress in the
field of machine learning.
TOPICS FOR SUBMISSION
ICML-2003 welcomes submissions on all topics related to machine learning.
In addition to the topics that traditionally are represented at machine
learning conferences, we specifically encourage papers on the following
topics:
- - Applications of machine learning, particularly:
1. exploratory research that describes novel learning tasks;
2. applications that require non-standard techniques or shed light on
limitations of existing learning techniques; and
3. work that investigates the effect of the developers' decisions about
problem formulation, representation or data quality on the learning
process.
- - Analysis of learning algorithms that demonstrate generalization
ability and also lead to better understanding of the computational
complexity of learning.
- - The role of learning in spatial reasoning, motor control, and more
generally in the performance of intelligent autonomous agents.
- - The discovery of scientific laws and taxonomies, and the induction
of structured models from data.
- - Computational models of human learning.
- - Novel formulations of and insights into data clustering.
- - Learning from non-static data sources: incremental induction,
on-line learning and learning from data streams.
Submissions that demonstrate both theoretical and empirical rigor are
especially encouraged.
FORMAT OF THE CONFERENCE
The conference will include one day of workshops and tutorials and three
days of technical presentations, poster sessions and informal gatherings
designed to foster discussion of research in machine learning.
The conference will include both plenary and parallel tracks for the
presentation of papers published in the conference proceedings. Speakers
will also present their work at an evening poster session, which will allow
conference attendees to discuss the work with the authors at greater
length. In addition to presentations of refereed papers, the conference
will include talks by several invited speakers.
The conference will be co-located with KDD-2003 and COLT-2003. Details of
the co-location will be announced shortly.
