Dear all,

We are organising the second workshop on Machine Learning for Creativity and Design at the NIPS Conference on 8th December in Montreal, Canada. Below is our call for papers and artworks. The conference is sold out, but we do have some registration rights that we can allocate to accepted authors.

=============================================
CALL FOR PAPERS AND ARTWORKS
NIPS 2nd Workshop on Machine Learning for Creativity and Design
Montreal, Canada
==============================================

To submit papers

We invite participants to submit 2-page papers in the NIPS format, to be submitted to: nips2018c...@gmail.com. In the subject line of your email, please put:

NIPS Workshop: [Paper title].

Topics may include (but are not limited to):
  • Presentation of new machine learning techniques for generating art, music, or other creative outputs using, for instance, reinforcement learning, generative adversarial networks, novelty search and evaluation, etc
  • Quantitative or qualitative evaluation of machine learning techniques for creative work and design
  • Tools or techniques to improve usability or usefulness of machine learning for creative practitioners
  • Descriptions, reflections, or case studies on the use of machine learning in the creation of a new art or design work
  • Information-theoretic views of creativity
  • Aesthetic, philosophical, social, ethical and cultural considerations surrounding the use of machine learning in creative practice
On the submission page, you may also indicate whether you would like to present a demo of your work during the workshop (if applicable).

Papers will be reviewed by committee members, and accepted authors will present at the workshop in the form of a short talk, panel, and/or demo. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Accepted papers will appear on the workshop website.

To submit artwork

We welcome submission of artwork that has been created using machine learning (autonomously or with humans). We invite art in any medium, including but not limited to sound and music, image, video, dance, text, physical objects, food, etc… We will be able to accommodate work submitted in one of the following formats:
  • Video
  • Audio (maximum 2 channel)
  • Still image
  • Website
  • Other types of submissions (e.g., physical artefacts, performances, text, …) should be documented using one or more of the above formats. For instance, you might submit a video of a machine-learning-generated dance piece or a website documenting a text generation piece.
On this submission page, you will also be asked for a short text description of your work and a description of how machine learning was used in its creation.

Art submissions will be reviewed by committee members. We will host an online gallery of accepted art submissions on the workshop website, like last year. While we will do our best to show a number of art pieces at the workshop itself, we will most likely not have access to adequate equipment and space to support a substantial exhibit. 

Artists submitting work are encouraged though not required to attend in person.

Submissions are accepted until 28th October and acceptance notifications will be sent out on 9th November. Any questions, please send to nips2018c...@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Luba
