Contributions describing applications of machine learning techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research involving machine learning, experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights into the design of ML systems, and papers describing development of new analytical frameworks that advance practical learning methods are especially encouraged.

Paper Submission

High quality papers in all ML areas are solicited. Papers that present new directions will receive especially careful and supportive reviews. Authors are expected to ensure that their final manuscripts are original and are not appearing in the other publications. Paper should be limited to 4-6 pages and submitted in IEEE format (double column). Papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of
technical quality, originality, significance, and clarity. All submissions will be handled electronically. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as a hardcopy. A selected number of accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion, in an expanded and revised form, in a journal.

ICMLA'09 Best Paper Awards will be conferred at the conference on the authors of the best research paper.
