CALL FOR PAPERS

The 14th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML 2022) will take place between December 14-16, 2022 at Hyderabad, India. The conference aims to provide a leading international forum for researchers in machine learning and related fields to share their new ideas, progress and achievements. While the main conference paper presentations will remain virtual to encourage widespread participation in current times, the conference will also have physical components to allow in-person interaction for those who can attend.


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. We encourage submissions from all parts of the world, not only confined to the Asia-Pacific region. The conference runs two publication tracks: authors may submit either to the:

1. conference track (16-page limit with references), for which the proceedings will be published as a volume of Proceedings of Machine Learning Research Workshop and Conference Proceedings (PMLR), or
2. journal track (20-page limit with references) for which accepted papers will appear in a special issue of the Springer Machine Learning Journal (MLJ).

Please refer to http://www.acml-conf.org/2022/ for more details. Instructions for submission and LaTeX templates will be available soon (at least one month before the first deadline).

OAMLS @ ACML: Besides a program of tutorials and workshops, this year we will continue the Online Asian Machine Learning School (OAMLS) as part of ACML (dates to be finalized, likely to be around the ACML conference dates, held virtually). OAMLS aims to help prepare the next generation of machine learning researchers and practitioners by providing them with knowledge of machine learning fundamentals as well as state-of-the-art advances. It focuses on participants in the Asia-Pacific region; the virtual format, supported by ever-improving communication technologies, allows affordable participation from students and practitioners from a large part of the region, including those from under-represented areas, who may otherwise be unable to afford travel to a physical international school.
