ICML 2019 Call for Papers


NOTE: This year, ICML will adopt a single reviewing cycle, with an abstract 
submission deadline of Jan. 18, 2019, 3:59 p.m. Pacific, 23:59 Universal time 
and a full paper submission deadline of Jan. 23, 2019, 3:59 p.m. Pacific, 23:59 
Universal time.


The 36th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2019) will be held 
in Long Beach, CA, USA from June 10th to June 15th, 2019. The conference will 
consist of one day of tutorials (June 10), followed by three days of main 
conference sessions (June 11-13), followed by two days of workshops (June 
14-15). We invite submissions of papers on all topics related to machine 
learning for the conference proceedings, and proposals for tutorials and 
workshops.

This year, ICML will adopt a single reviewing cycle, with an abstract 
submission deadline of Jan. 18, 2019, 3:59 p.m. Pacific, 23:59 Universal time 
and a full paper submission deadline of Jan. 23, 2019, 3:59 p.m. Pacific, 23:59 
Universal time.


Submissions will open on Jan. 7, 2019, noon pacific time and are managed 
through CMT:

https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICML2019/


Authors should include a full title for their paper, as well as a complete 
abstract by the abstract submission deadline. Submissions that have placeholder 
(test, xyz, etc.) titles or abstracts (or none at all) at the abstract 
submission deadline will be deleted. Authors of these types of submissions will 
not be allowed to submit a full paper on January 23, 2019.

Submitted papers can be up to eight pages long, not including references, and 
up to twelve pages when references and acknowledgments are included. Any paper 
exceeding this length will automatically be rejected. Authors have the option 
of submitting one supplementary manuscript containing further details of their 
work and a separate file containing code that supports experimental findings; 
it is entirely up to the reviewers to decide whether they wish to consult this 
additional material.

To foster reproducibility, we highly encourage authors to submit code. 
Reproducibility of results and easy availability of code will be taken into 
account in the decision-making process.

All submissions must be electronic, anonymized and must closely follow the 
formatting guidelines in the templates; otherwise they will automatically be 
rejected. This year, the author list at the submission deadline will be 
considered final, and no changes in authorship will be permitted for accepted 
papers.


Dual Submission Policy

It is not appropriate to submit papers that are identical (or substantially 
similar) to versions that have been previously published, or accepted for 
publication, or that have been submitted in parallel to other conferences. Such 
submissions violate our dual submission policy, and the organizers have the 
right to reject such submissions, and remove them from the proceedings.

There are several exceptions to this rule:

* Submission is permitted of a short version of a paper that has been submitted 
to a journal, but will not be published in that journal on or before June 2019. 
Authors must declare such dual-submissions either through the CMT submission 
form, or via email to the program chairs (icml2019pc at gmail.com). It is the 
authors responsibility to make sure that the journal in question allows dual 
concurrent submissions to conferences.

* Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented at 
conferences or workshops without proceedings (e.g., ICML or NIPS workshops), or 
with only abstracts published.

* Submission is permitted for papers that are available as a technical report 
(or similar, e.g., in arXiv). In this case we suggest the authors not cite the 
report, so as to preserve anonymity.

Finally, note that previously published papers with substantial overlap written 
by the authors must be cited in such a way so as to preserve author anonymity. 
Differences relative to these earlier papers must be explained in the text of 
the submission. For example, (This work develops [our earlier work], which 
showed that).


Reviewing Criteria

Accepted papers must contain significant novel results. Results can be either 
theoretical or empirical. Results will be judged on the degree to which they 
have been objectively established and/or their potential for scientific and 
technological impact. Reproducibility of results and easy availability of code 
will be taken into account in the decision-making process.
