           CALL FOR PAPERS


In many applications there are only partial supervision information. For example, in semi-supervised learning there is only supervision information for the labeled examples whereas there is no supervision information for unlabeled data; in multi-instance learning there is only label information for the training bags whereas there is no label information for positive training instances; in weak label setting of multi-label learning, not all labels are known for training examples. Owing to the fact that most real-world tasks are with partial rather complete supervision information, Partially Supervised Learning (PSL) is of great interest in machine learning, pattern recognition, data mining and related communities. Research in the field of PSL is still in its early stages and has great potential for further growth, thus, leaving plenty of room for further development. PSL 2013 endeavors to bring together recent novel research in this area and to provide a forum for further discussion. PSL 2013 will be held on May 13-14, 2013, at Nanjing, China. It will be co-located with the 11th International Conference on Multiple Classifier Systems (MCS 2013), which will be held in the same place, during May 15-17.

Conference Topics
Topics of interest of PSL 2013 include, but are not limited to:
    Foundations of partially supervised learning
    Learning with unlabeled data
    Learning with incomplete label information
    Learning with latent supervision
    Learning with delayed supervision
    Applications of partially supervised learning
