Call For Papers

The 7th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML2015) will be held in Hong Kong on November 20-22, 2015. The conference aims 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 paradigms in machine learning.

The proceedings will be published as a volume of Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR): Workshop and Conference Proceedings series.

For questions and suggestions on paper submission, please write to acml2015hk@gmail.com
