ICML 2015 Call for Workshop Proposals ### Please consider submitting a workshop proposal for ICML before the deadline (Feb. 27). ###
The International Conference on Machine Learning solicits proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the ICML 2015 conference in Lille, France. The workshops will be held on Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11, 2015. ICML workshops present an excellent opportunity to address a specific machine-learning-related topic of your choice, either to put a spotlight on a nascent topic or consolidate a recently established field. We are looking for full-day or two-day workshop proposals. Important Dates • Workshop proposal deadline: Feb 27, 2015 ** 23:59 UTC ** • Acceptance notification: March 20, 2015 • Workshop submissions due (suggested): May 1st, 2015 • Workshop author notification (suggested): May 10, 2015 Content and Format Workshops are a great format for active research on new topics. The ideal workshop covers a compelling selection of current and upcoming research, and includes an impressive set of speakers and participants with diverse backgrounds. Research talks, discussion via panels, identification of open problems and poster presentations are all great components to include. Organization The format, style, and content of accepted workshops are under the control of the workshop organizers and largely autonomous from the main conference. Each workshop day can be up to seven hours long, split into morning and afternoon sessions. Workshop organizers are expected to manage the workshop content, invite experts in the domain, specify the workshop format, be present to moderate, and maintain a website for the workshop. Workshop registration will be handled centrally by the main conference. Submission Instructions Proposals should clearly specify the following: • Workshop title (what is it called?) • Topic (what is it about?) • Main organizer’s email (who should we get in touch with?) • Abstract (can you summarize in a few sentences what will happen?) • Motivation, impact, and expected outcomes (why this workshop?) • Bibliographic references (where can we learn more?) • Format (one-day, two-day?) • Organizer and co-organizers info and bios (who is making it happen?) • Invited speakers (who will come give invited talks?) • Funding status (is funding secured for this event?) • Tentative schedule (what will be the balance between contributed and invited talks, posters, panel discussions, etc...) • Tentative Website URL • Workshop history (is this the first edition of the workshop?) Detailed descriptions of last year’s workshops can be found at: http://icml.cc/2014/index/article/16.htm Submission Process Workshop proposals should be submitted through the following form http://goo.gl/forms/LqLu12u218 by the due date (earlier submissions are encouraged as well). *Acceptance decision* Proposals will be evaluated by the workshop chair and conference organizers, with an eye towards selecting high-quality workshops on a diverse set of topics that will inform and inspire the community. *Contact*: [email protected] Marco Cuturi, workshop chair ICML 2015
