ACML 2017 - 9th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML 2017)

9th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML 2017) solicits proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the ACML 2017 conference at Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea. The workshops will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2017. The workshops will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers to discuss important research questions and challenges related to machine learning. We are looking for half-day or full-day workshop proposals.
Important Dates
-- Workshop proposal deadline: 10 May, 2017
-- Acceptance notification: 6 June, 2017
-- Workshop paper submission due (suggested): 31 Aug, 2017
-- Workshop author notification (suggested): 10 Oct, 2017
-- Workshop day : 15 Nov, 2017
Topics of Interest
Potential workshop topics include, but not limited to, all areas of machine learning, data mining and knowledge discovery, use of statistical methods in machine learning, big data, and information sciences. Workshop proposals that address controversial issues and open problems are also encouraged. Detailed descriptions of previous ACML workshops may be found in last year’s online schedule at : http://www.acml-conf.org/2016/conference/workshops....
Content and Format
The ideal workshop will cover a compelling selection of current and upcoming research, include an impressive set of speakers and participants with diverse backgrounds, and contain contributed content. Research talks, discussion via panels, identification of open problems, and discussants are all great components to include.
Workshop proposals should be designed to cover a precise research topic, and to attract a reasonable sized audience.
Organization
The format, style, and content of accepted workshops are under the control of the workshop organizers and largely autonomous from the main conference. Workshops can either be for a full day, up to seven hours long split into morning and afternoon sessions, or for half a day (about three and a half to four hours). A significant portion of time should also be reserved for individual exchange, open discussion, or panel discussion. 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.
Duties
Organizers of accepted workshops are expected to announce the workshop and disseminate the call for papers, maintain the workshop website, gather submissions, conduct the reviewing process and decide upon the final workshop program. They may also be required to prepare an informal set of workshop proceedings to be distributed with the registration materials at the main conference. Workshop organizers may choose to form organizing or program committees aiming to accomplish these tasks successfully.
