Connectionists: ICML 2018: Call for Tutorial Proposals

[rsalakhu at cs.toronto.edu]

The ICML 2018 Organizing Committee invites proposals for tutorials to be
given on July 10th, 2018, immediately preceding the main conference.

We welcome proposals for tutorials on either core machine learning topics
or topics of emerging importance for machine learning.  We will consider
tutorials on any topic if the proposal makes a strong argument that such a
tutorial serves an important function for the ICML community. Tutorials
should be of interest to a substantial part of the ICML audience and
represent a sufficiently mature area of research or practice.

We anticipate to accept nine tutorials, running three in parallel; each
tutorial will be 2 hours long.

Proposals should be structured to answer the following questions:

1) Title

2) Brief description and outline:  What will the tutorial be about? 
Please include a detailed outline of what you plan to cover.  If
available, please include samples of your past tutorial slides and links
to video recordings on the topic.

3) Goals:  What objectives does the tutorial serve?  Why is it important
to include it as a part of ICML-2018?

4) Target audience:  Who is your target audience?  How many participants
do you expect to see? What kind of background do you expect them to have?

5) Presenters:  Please include the names and email addresses of the
presenters, along with brief bios.  Since time is short, we suggest that
each tutorial is given by at most two presenters.  If there is more than
one presenter, please describe how time will be split.  Please briefly
describe each presenter’s expertise in the tutorial area.

Tutorial proposals should be submitted to tutorial at icml.cc by March 2, 2018.
