Call for Tutorial Proposals
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML-2002)
The ICML-2002 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be
presented at the Nineteenth International Conference on Machine Learning
(ICML-2002). ICML-2002 tutorials will be held on the first day of the
conference, 9 Jluy, at the University of New South Wales, the site of all
ICML events. Anyone interested in presenting a tutorial at the conference
should submit a proposal as outlined below.
ICML tutorials will provide conference participants with an opportunity
to learn about important advances in the science and practice of machine
learning. Tutorials will cover both recent advances that are of broad
interest, and more mature topics that may be unfamiliar to a significant
portion of the field. Tutorials are included in the registration fees of
all participants, and will be an integral part of the conference. Each
tutorial will last two hours.
Topics
We seek tutorial proposals on core techniques and areas of knowledge that
should be broadly known within the machine learning community. We are
interested in tutorials that summarize recent technical advances in a
core area of machine learning or that summarize techniques recently
introduced from other fields. We are also interested in tutorials that
educate the community about more mature techniques from machine learning
and statistics that are still unfamiliar to part of the community.
Finally, we are interested in tutorials that present basic knowledge
necessary to bridge the gap between machine learning and another field of
science that could offer unique technical insights or opportunities for
innovative applications of machine learning.
Proposals
Proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality
and importance of the topic, the likely quality of the presentation
materials, and the speakers' teaching ability. We encourage tutorials
taught by two-person teams because the added perspective of a second
presenter can provide richer, more balanced coverage of an area.
Proposals should be 3-5 pages long and contain at least the following
information:
* Description -- A short paragraph summarizing the topic of the
tutorial.
* Goal -- Who is the target audience? What will the audience learn?
Why do they need to know it?
* Prerequisites -- What knowledge are audience members assumed to
have before entering the tutorial?
* Content -- Detailed outline of the topics to be presented. If
possible, provide samples of past tutorial slides or teaching
materials.
* Presenters -- The name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail
address, and webpage of each presenter. In addition, indicate
presenters' background in the tutorial area.
