ICML 2018 - 35th International Conference on Machine Learning

The 35th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2018) will be held in Stockholm, Sweden from July 10th to July 15th, 2018. The conference will consist of one day of tutorials (July 10), followed by three days of main conference sessions (July 11-13), followed by two days of workshops (July 14-15). 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 9th, 2018, 23:59 Universal Time.
Submissions will open on January 9th, 2018 and are managed through CMT:
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICML2018/Defaul...
Submitted papers can be up to eight pages long, not including references, and up to ten pages when references and acknowledgments 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 electronic, 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:
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 (icml2018pc-AT-gmail.com). It is the author’s responsibility to make sure that the journal in question allows dual concurrent submissions to conferences.
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.
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.
