======================================================================

The 2nd Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML2010) will be held
in November 8-10, 2010, Tokyo, Japan. The conference aims at providing
a leading international forum for researchers in Machine Learning and
related fields to share their new ideas and achievements. Submissions
from other than the Asia-Pacific regions are also highly encouraged.


Important dates:
----------------
Full Paper submission: July 12, 2010
Author notification: September 6, 2010
Camera-Ready: September 20, 2010
Conference: November 8-10, 2010


Topics:
-------
The conference calls for papers that report high quality original
research results on machine learning and related fields. The topics
include but are not limited to the following:

Learning problems
Active learning
Cost-sensitive Learning
Ensemble methods
Feature selection/extraction/construction
Incremental learning and on-line learning
Learning in graphs and networks
Multi-agent learning
Multi-instance learning
Reinforcement learning
Semi-supervised learning
Supervised learning
Classification, regression, ranking, structured, logical
Transfer and multi-task learning
Unsupervised learning
Clustering, deep learning, latent variable models
Other learning problems
Analysis of learning systems
Computational learning theory
Experimental evaluation methodology
Others
Applications
Bioinformatics
Collaborative filtering
Computer vision
Information retrieval
Mobile and pervasive computing
Natural language processing
Social networks
Web search
Other applications
Learning in knowledge-intensive systems
Knowledge refinement and theory revision
Multi-strategy learning
Other systems
Other learning problems


Invited speakers:
-------
* Peter L. Bartlett (UC Berkeley, USA)
* Naonori Ueda (NTT CS-Labs, Japan)
* Geoff Webb (Monash University, Australia)


Submission:
----------------
The papers must be in English and formatted according to the JMLR
Workshop and Conference Proceedings format (one column), see
http://sugiyama-www.cs.titech.ac.jp/ACML2010/cfp.html
The maximum length of papers is 16 pages in this format. Overlength
submissions or submissions without appropriate format will be rejected
without review. Paper submissions are double-blind. Please be sure to
remove any identifying information from your submission, including
author names, affiliations, and any acknowledgments.

All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format only, using
the conference management tool. Proceedings will be published as a
volume of JMLR: Workshop and Conference Proceedings (this is not
equivalent to a regular issue of JMLR).

The submitted papers must not be submitted to any other conferences
before or during the ACML2010 review process. A journal submission
may be concurrent, but would be expected to have significant
additional material not in the conference submission, and the final
revision should not have been submitted until the ACML2010 reviews
have been made available to the authors. Ideally the final journal
version should be prepared after the conference, in order that
feedback from the conference can be included.

Submitting a paper to the conference means that if the paper is
accepted, at least one author will attend the conference to present
the paper. Before submitting your paper, please carefully
read and agree with the submission policy of ACML 2010.
