Connectionists: Deadline extension: 7th ICML Workshop on Automated Machine Learning (AutoML 2020)

[Matthias Feurer]

Dear all,

We would like to notify you that we extended the submission deadline for 
the AutoML workshop at ICML'20 by roughly a month because because as 
ICML being a virtual event, we do not need to budget time for visa 
applications.

*The new submission deadline will be May 20th and the author 
notification on June 17th.*

For more details, please see the email below and the workshop website 
icml2020.automl.org <http://icml2020.automl.org/>

On behalf of the organizing committee,

Matthias Feurer
