[Julian McAuley]

We are pleased to invite you to the Southern California Machine Learning
Symposium, on Friday November 18 at Caltech!
http://dolcit.cms.caltech.edu/scmls/

The SoCal ML Symposium brings together students and faculty to promote
machine learning in the Southern California region. The workshop serves as
a forum for researchers from a variety of fields working on machine
learning to share and discuss their latest findings.

Topics to be covered at the symposium include, but are not limited to:
+ Machine learning with graphs, social networks, and structured data.
+ Active learning, reinforcement learning, crowdsourcing.
+ Learning with images and natural language.
+ Learning with high-dimensional data.
+ Neural networks, deep learning, and graphical models.
+ Learning dynamic and streaming data.
+ Applications to interesting new domains.
+ Addressing each of these issues at scale.

The majority of the workshop will be focused on student contributions, in
the form of contributed talks and posters.

We invite submissions in the form of 1-2 page extended absracts, to be
presented as posters and oral presentations at the symposium. Submissions
may be made on our easychair page:

A $500 first-prize and a $250 runner-up prize, sponsored by Google
Research, will be awarded for the best student presentations.
