AISTATS (https://www.aistats.org) is an interdisciplinary gathering of
researchers at the intersection of computer science, artificial
intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and related areas. Since
its inception in 1985, the primary goal of AISTATS has been to broaden
research in these fields by promoting the exchange of ideas among
them. We encourage the submission of all papers which are in keeping
with this objective at AISTATS.

Paper Submission:
Papers will be selected via a rigorous double-blind peer-review
process. All accepted papers will be presented at the Conference as
contributed talks or as posters and will be published in the AISTATS
Conference Proceedings.

- Models and estimation: graphical models, causality, Gaussian
processes, approximate inference, kernel methods, nonparametric
models, statistical and computational learning theory, manifolds and
embedding, sparsity and compressed sensing, ...
- Classification, regression, density estimation, unsupervised and
semi-supervised learning, clustering, topic models, ...
- Structured prediction, relational learning, logic and probability
- Reinforcement learning, planning, control
- Game theory, no-regret learning, multi-agent systems
