7th Annual Machine Learning Symposium

A reminder that the New York Academy of Sciences will be hosting the 7th Annual Machine Learning Symposium tomorrow from 9:30am.

The main program will feature invited talks from Peter Bartlett, William Freeman, and Vladimir Vapnik, along with numerous spotlight talks and a poster session. Following the main program, hackNY and Microsoft Research are sponsoring a networking hour with talks from machine learning practitioners at NYC startups (specifically bit.ly, Buzzfeed, Chartbeat, and Sense Networks, Visual Revenue). This should be of great interest to everyone considering working in machine learning.

NYAS ML 2012 and ICML 2013

The New York Machine Learning Symposium is October 19 with a 2 page abstract deadline due September 13 via email with subject “Machine Learning Poster Submission” sent to physicalscience@nyas.org. Everyone is welcome to submit. Last year’s attendance was 246 and I expect more this year.

The primary experiment for ICML 2013 is multiple paper submission deadlines with rolling review cycles. The key dates are October 1, December 15, and February 15. This is an attempt to shift ICML further towards a journal style review process and reduce peak load. The “not for proceedings” experiment from this year’s ICML is not continuing.

Edit: Fixed second ICML deadline.

MUCMD and BayLearn

The workshop on the Meaningful Use of Complex Medical Data is happening again, August 9-12 in LA, near UAI on Catalina Island August 15-17. I enjoyed my visit last year, and expect this year to be interesting also.

The first Bay Area Machine Learning Symposium is August 30 at Google. Abstracts are due July 30.

Both new: STOC workshops and NEML

May 16 in Cambridge, is the New England Machine Learning Day, a first regional workshop/symposium on machine learning. To present a poster, submit an abstract by May 5.

May 19 in New York, STOC is coming to town and rather surprisingly having workshops which should be quite a bit of fun. I’ll be speaking at Algorithms for Distributed and Streaming Data.

The Submodularity workshop and Lucca Professorship

Nina points out the Submodularity Workshop March 19-20 next week at Georgia Tech. Many people want to make Submodularity the new Convexity in machine learning, and it certainly seems worth exploring.

Sara Olson also points out a tenured faculty position at IMT Lucca with a deadline of May 15th. Lucca happens to be the ancestral home of 1/4 of my heritage 🙂
