*******************************************************************
Call for NIPS 2008 Kernel Learning Workshop Submissions
*******************************************************************

Submissions are solicited for the Kernel Learning workshop to be held  
on December 13th, 2008 at this year's NIPS workshop session in  
Whistler, Canada.  The workshop will focus on automatic kernel  
selection; and more broadly on feature selection, multi-task learning  
and multi-view learning.  Submissions to the workshop should be on  
the topic of using sampled data to select or learn a kernel function  
or kernel matrix appropriate for the specific task at hand.

Submissions are not constrained regarding the areas in which which  
the learned kernel is applied: these  can include classification,  
regression, and ranking, where the use of kernels is ubiquitous, and  
different settings including inductive, transductive, or semi- 
supervised learning.  Presentations on the closely related topics of  
feature selection, multi-task learning and multi-view learning are  
also encouraged.  Submissions may focus on theoretical, algorithmic  
or large-scale empirical results.

Accepted submissions will results in a 25 minute talk or a poster  
presentation.  The deadline for submission will be October 24 and  
notifications will be sent out by November 7th.  The submission should
be no more than four pages long in in NIPS format (though it may make  
reference to a longer technical report if appropriate), and should be  
sent to rostami at cs.nyu.edu.

The program committee will consist of the workshop organizers and the  
invited speakers, and can be found on the workshop webpage

as well as other important information.
