ICML 2017 - 34th International Conference on Machine Learning

The 34th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2017) will be held in Sydney, Australia from August 6th to August 11th, 2017. The conference will consist of one day of tutorials (August 6), followed by three days of main conference sessions (August 7-9), followed by two days of workshops (August 10-11). We invite submissions of papers on all topics related to machine learning for the conference proceedings, and proposals for tutorials and workshops.
This year, ICML will adopt a single reviewing cycle, with a single paper deadline on February 24th, 2017.
Submissions open on January 9th, 2017 and are managed through CMT:
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICML2017/Defaul...
Submitted papers can be up to eight pages long, not including references, and up to ten pages when references and acknowledgment are included. Any paper
exceeding this length will automatically be rejected. Authors have the option of
submitting a supplementary file containing further details of their work; it is
entirely up to the reviewers to decide whether they wish to consult this
additional material. The supplementary material must be submitted as a zip file,
even if it only contains a single PDF document.
All submissions must be anonymized and must closely follow the formatting
guidelines in the templates; otherwise they will automatically be rejected.
Dual Submission Policy
It is not appropriate to submit papers that are identical (or substantially
similar) to versions that have been previously published, or accepted for
publication, or that have been submitted in parallel to other conferences. Such
submissions violate our dual submission policy.
There are several exceptions to this rule:
1. Submission is permitted of a short version of a paper that has been submitted
to a journal, but has not yet been published in that journal. Authors must
declare such dual-submissions either through the CMT submission form, or via
email to the program chairs (icml2016pc-AT-gmail.com). It is the author’s
responsibility to make sure that the journal in question allows dual concurrent
submissions to conferences.
2. Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented at
conferences or workshops without proceedings (e.g., ICML or NIPS workshops), or
with only abstracts published.
3. Submission is permitted for papers that are available as a technical report
(or similar, e.g., in arXiv). In this case we suggest the authors not cite the
report, so as to preserve anonymity.
Finally, note that previously published papers with substantial overlap written
by the authors must be cited in such a way so as to preserve author anonymity.
Differences relative to these earlier papers must be explained in the text of
the submission. For example, (This work develops [our earlier work], which
showed that).
Reviewing Criteria
Accepted papers must contain significant novel results. Results can be either
theoretical or empirical. Results will be judged on the degree to which they
have been objectively established and/or their potential for scientific and
technological impact.
