If you would like to post the AISTATS 2014 call for papers in your department, here is a flyer (1 page, PDF). |
AISTATS is an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers at the intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and related areas. Since its inception in 1985, the primary goal of AISTATS has been to broaden research in these fields by promoting the exchange of ideas among them. We encourage the submission of all papers which are in keeping with this objective at http://www.aistats.org.
Andrew Gelman, Columbia University
Talk title: Weakly Informative Priors: When a little information can do a lot
of regularizing
Michael I. Jordan, University of California, Berkeley
Talk title: On the Computational and Statistical Interface and "Big Data"
See the Keynote Speakers page for abstracts of the keynotes.
Roderick Murray-Smith, University of Glasgow
Talk title: Machine learning and Human Computer Interaction
Christian P. Robert, Ceremade - Université Paris-Dauphine
Talk title: Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), methodology and
applications
Håvard Rue, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Talk title: Bayesian computing with INLA
See the Tutorials page for abstracts of the tutorials.
Proceedings track: This is the standard AISTATS paper submission track. Papers will be selected via a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. All accepted papers will be presented at the Conference as contributed talks or as posters and will be published in the Proceedings. A selected set of papers will be designated as "notable papers" which will be clearly distinguished in the Proceedings.
Highlight talks track: We will include talks on recent high-impact work on AISTATS themes. This is an opportunity to raise discussion and get additional exposure to work already published in journals. The talks will be selected based on one-page abstracts and the existing papers, and they do not lead to a paper in the Proceedings.
Late-breaking posters track: Some time at the conference will be set aside for "breaking news" posters having a one-page abstract. These are reports on ongoing or unpublished projects, projects already published elsewhere, partially developed ideas, negative results etc, and are meant as informal forums to encourage discussion. The review process of the late-breaking posters will be very light-touch and presentation at the Conference will not lead to publication in the Proceedings.
Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:
Electronic submission of papers is required. Papers may be up to 8 double-column pages in length, excluding references. Authors may optionally submit also supplementary material. Formatting and submission information is available at http://www.aistats.org/submit.php.
All accepted papers will be presented at the Conference either as contributed talks or as posters, and will be published in the AISTATS Conference Proceedings in the Journal of Machine Learning Research Workshop and Conference Proceedings series. Papers for talks and posters will be treated equally in publication.
Submissions will be considered if they are received by the following strict deadlines.
Proceedings track paper submissions: | 1 November, 2013, 23:59 UTC |
Highlight talk abstract submissions: | 24 January, 2014, 23:59 UTC |
Late-breaking poster abstract submissions: | 24 January, 2014, 23:59 UTC |
A Machine Learning Summer School (MLSS) will be held after the conference (April 26th-May 4th). April 25 will be an AISTATS/MLSS joint tutorial + MLSS poster session day. The summer school features an exciting program with talks from leading experts in the field, see http://mlss2014.hiit.fi for details.
AISTATS 2014 will be held in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, in Grand Hotel Reykjavik. Reykjavik and its environs offer a unique mix of culture and varied nature, from glaciers to waterfalls to geysirs and thermal pools. This is a unique opportunity to spend an AISTATS afternoon break at a geothermal warm beach, the famous Blue Lagoon.
Reykjavik is easily reachable by several airlines; travel information will be available on http://www.aistats.org.
The European meetings of AISTATS are organized by the European Society for Artificial Intelligence and Statistics.
