CALL FOR PAPERS NIPS 2016 Workshop on Machine Learning for Health (NIPS ML4HC)
http://www.nipsml4hc.ws/ A workshop at the Twenty-Ninth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS 2016) Barcelona, Spain Fri Dec 9th 08:00 AM -- 06:30 PM DATES: Sept 22, 2016: NIPS ML4HC Travel Award Submission Deadline Oct 3, 2016: Round 1 Acceptance Notification (coinciding with NIPS Early Registration Deadline) Oct 3, 2016: NIPS Early Registration Deadline Oct 28, 2016: Round 2 Submission Deadline Nov 11 2016: Round 2 Acceptance Notification Dec 1, 2016: Final papers due Dec 9, 2016: Workshop =============================================================================== SHORT ABSTRACT The last decade has seen unprecedented growth in the availability and size of digital health data, including electronic health records, genetics, and wearable sensors. These rich data sources present opportunities to develop and apply machine learning methods to enable precision medicine. The aim of this workshop is to engender discussion between machine learning and clinical researchers about how statistical learning can enhance both the science and the practice of medicine. PAPER TOPICS We will invite submission of two page abstracts (not including references) for poster contributions and short oral presentations describing innovative machine learning research on relevant clinical problems and data. Topics of interest include but are not limited to models for diseases and clinical data, temporal models, Markov decision processes for clinical decision support, multiscale data-integration, modeling with missing or biased data, learning with non-stationary data, uncertainty and uncertainty propagation, non i.i.d. structure in the data, critique of models, causality, model biases, transfer learning, and incorporation of non-clinical (e.g., socioeconomic) factors. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Researchers interested in contributing should upload an extended abstract of 4 pages in PDF format to the MLCB submission web site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nips16mlhc by October 28, 2016, 11:59pm (time zone of your choice). No special style is required. Authors should use the NIPS style file, and submissions should be suitably anonymized and meet the requirements for double-blind reviewing. All submissions will be anonymously peer reviewed and will be evaluated on the basis of their technical content. The workshop allows submissions of papers that are under review or have been recently published in a conference or a journal. Authors should state any overlapping published work at time of submission. Please send any questions to [email protected].
