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.

Detailed instructions for submitting papers can be found at
