ICML 2021 workshop on Subset Selection in ML

[Apologies for cross posting]

Hi Everyone,

We are organizing a workshop in ICML 2021 on subset selection in ML  (https://sites.google.com/view/icml-2021-subsetml/home).  The workshop would encompass a wide variety of topics ranging from theoretical aspects of subset selection e.g. coresets, submodularity, determinantal point processes, to several practical applications, e.g., time and energy-efficient learning, learning under resource constraints, active learning, human-assisted learning, feature selection, model compression, feature induction, etc. We invite submissions that are not limited to:

Theoretical Directions

1. Coresets

2. Determinantal Point Processes

3. Submodular functions and their optimization

4. Information-Theoretic Approaches

Applications of Subset Selection

1. Compute efficient training (training time and energy efficiency)

2. Active Learning and selecting subsets of unlabelled data for labelling

3. Human assisted learning

4. Feature selection and dimensionality reduction

5. Cost-sensitive feature selection

6. Model compression

7. Rule augmentation and Data programming

8. Image segmentation, image correspondence, and MAP inference in graphical models.

9. Data Summarization (e.g. video, image collection, document, news summarization)

10. Peptide Matching, Proteomics, etc.

11. Learning of neural set functions

The above are just a few of the potential applications and theoretical directions. If you are working on anything related to subset selection in ML, AI, and deep learning, please consider submitting to and attending our workshop!

Submissions in the form of extended abstracts must be at most 6 pages long (not including references and an unlimited number of pages for supplemental material, which reviewers are not required to take into account) and adhere to the ICML format. We accept submissions of work recently published or currently under review. Submissions should be anonymized as described in the submission instructions and should be submitted through: The workshop will not have formal proceedings, but authors of accepted abstracts can choose to have either a link to an Arxiv version of their paper or a pdf published on the workshop webpage. If the authors give us an Arxiv link, we will link it here from the list of accepted papers on this webpage.

Important dates:

• Submission deadline: Sunday, June 6th, 23:59 AOE 

• Author notification: Wednesday, June 16th

• Camera-ready deadline and videos for selected talks: June 25th

• Workshop date: Saturday, 24th July 2021

We will be using CMT to handle paper submissions (https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SUBSETML2021). Please submit papers before the deadline above.

Please consider submitting your research to get early feedback!

Thanks,

Rishabh Iyer,  Abir De,  Ganesh Ramakrishnan, and Jeff Bilimes
