Deadline Extension: The 6th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML 2014)

URL: http://www.acml2014.jvn.edu.vn/

With many requests, the program committee of ACML 2014 has decided to extend the paper submission deadline of the second cycle to *August 18, 2014*. Please feel free to distribute the new CFP to your colleagues, students and collaborators. The new deadline is firm. 

The 6th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML2014) will be held in Nha Trang City, Vietnam from November 26th to 28th , 2014. The conference aims to provide a leading international forum for researchers in machine learning and related fields to share their new ideas, progresses and achievements. Submissions from regions other than the Asia-Pacific are also highly encouraged. 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. The conference proceedings will be published in The Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR): Workshop and Conference Proceedings series.

There will be an ACML Best Paper Award given to the most outstanding paper, which, apart from technical novelty, will also be judged on the quality of the experimental work, for instance, reproducibility. Selected papers from ACML¡¯2014 will be invited to submit extended journal versions to an ACML special issue/section of the Machine Learning Journal. ACML adopts two double-blind submission cycles. Papers not accepted from the first cycle might be invited as "conditional accept subject to required revisions", and ¡°resubmit¡± with notification in time for them to make the submission deadline of the late cycle. The second cycle has the usual ¡°accept¡± or ¡°reject¡± outcomes. . The submission of "conditional accept" decision is strongly encouraged to carefully address the review comments in their revision. The revision without addressing the review comments adequately will be rejected. The submission of "resubmit" decision must be significantly improved and revised before it can be re-submitted in the late deadline. Fresh submissions that have not made in the early cycle are also welcome for the late cycle. The late submission cycle will include an author rebuttal period.

The submission format is in accordance with The JMLR Workshop and Conference Proceedings series. Please see our Paper Submissions page.
