ACML 2016 - 8th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML2016)

The 8th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML2016) will be held at the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand on November 16-18, 2016. The conference aim is to provide a leading international forum for researchers in machine learning and related fields to share their new ideas, progresses and achievements. Submissions from regions other than the Asia-Pacific are highly encouraged.
The conference calls for high-quality, original research papers in the theory and practice of machine learning. The conference also solicits proposals focusing on frontier research, new ideas and new paradigms in machine learning.
This year we are running *two publication tracks*: Authors may submit either to the *conference track*, for which the proceedings will be published as a volume of Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR): Workshop and Conference Proceedings series, or to the *journal track* for which accepted papers will appear in a special issue of the Springer journal Machine Learning.
Please note that submission arrangements for the two tracks are different - there are different deadlines and conference track papers are submitted via CMT while journal track papers are submitted via Springer's Editorial Manager system -- submission deadlines follow below, but please see the conference website:
