COLT 2013 - Princeton

26th Annual Conference on Learning Theory (COLT), Princeton 2013

The conference is a single track meeting that includes invited talks as well as oral presentations of all refereed papers. We invited submissions of papers addressing theoretical aspects of machine learning and related topics. We strongly support a broad definition of learning theory, including, but not limited to:

Design and analysis of learning algorithms and their generalization ability
Computational complexity of learning
Optimization procedures for learning
Unsupervised, semi-supervised learning and clustering
Online learning
Active learning
High dimensional and non-parametric empirical inference, including sparsity methods
Planning and control, including reinforcement learning
Learning with additional constraints: E.g. privacy, time or memory budget, communication
Learning in other settings: E.g. social, economic, and game-theoretic
Analysis of learning in related fields: natural language processing, neuroscience, bioinformatics, privacy and security, machine vision, data mining, information retrieval.
