Machine Learning for Healthcare (ML4H) CFP - Deadline 13th September
Emily Alsentzer
Hi All,
See below for updated details on the ML4H CFP, including a preview of some of our speakers and updated submission instructions.
CFP:
ML4H 2021 invites submissions describing innovative machine learning research focused on relevant problems in health and biomedicine. Authors are invited to submit works that fit anywhere within the broad purview of Machine Learning for Health. Similar to the last two years, ML4H 2021 will both accept papers for publication in a formal proceedings, and accept traditional, non-archival extended abstract submissions.
In response to the growing ML4H community, for the first time, ML4H will be a separate symposium, rather than a NeurIPS workshop. This event represents a continuation of prior ML4H workshops (e.g. 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) and will continue to be held in December shortly before NeurIPS. This will allow us to expand the reviewing timeline and introduce a formal author response and reviewer discussion period, which we hope will improve the reviewing experience. Note that like NeurIPS and other venues, ML4H 2021 will be a fully virtual event.
ML4H 2021 will feature:
Keynotes from preeminent researchers, including Yoshua Bengio, Karandeep Singh, Aisha Walcott-Bryant, Sendhil Mullainathan, Shalmali Joshi, and Uri Shalit
Poster sessions, spotlight talks, and interactive research discussions
Submission and Reviewer Mentorship Programs
A Thematic Session on Robustness and Generalization in ML4H
A Full Author Response Period and Reviewer Discussion Period
Best Paper, Best Thematic Paper, & Top Reviewer Awards
