Connectionists: CFP: 1st Conference on Lifelong Learning Agents (CoLLAs) 2022 - Deadline March 04

[Razvan Pascanu]

Dear all,

*Apologies for crossposting*



We invite submissions to the 1st Conference on Lifelong Learning Agents (
CoLLAs) that describe new theory, methodology or *new insights into
existing algorithms and/or benchmarks*. Accepted papers will be published
in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR). Topics of
submission may include, but are not limited to, reinforcement learning,
supervised learning or unsupervised learning approaches for:


   - Lifelong Learning / Continual Learning
   - Meta-Learning
   - Multi-task learning
   - Transfer Learning
   - Domain adaptation
   - Few-shot learning
   - Out-of-distribution generalization
   - Online Learning

The conference also welcomes submissions at the intersection of machine
learning and neuroscience and applications of the topics of interest to
real-world problems. Submitted papers will be evaluated based on their
novelty, technical quality, and potential impact. Experimental methods and
results are expected to be reproducible, and authors are strongly
encouraged to make code and data available. We also encourage submissions
of proof-of-concept research that puts forward novel ideas and demonstrates
potential, as well as in-depth analysis of existing methods and concepts.

Key datesThe planned dates are as follows:

   - Abstract deadline: March 01, 2022, 11:59 pm (Anywhere on Earth, AoE)
   - Paper submission deadline: March 04, 2022, 11:59 pm (AoE)
   - Review released: April 08, 2022
   - Author rebuttals due: April 15, 2022, 11:59 pm (AoE)
   - Notifications: May 06, 2022
   - Resubmissions*: July 06, 2022, 11:59 pm (AoE)
   - Decisions on resubmissions* : August 06, 2022
   - Tentative conference dates: August 29-31, 2022

Review Process

Papers will be selected via 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 Proceedings. The reviews process
will be hosted on OpenReview with submissions and reviews being private
until a decision is made. Reviews and discussions of the accepted papers
will be made available after acceptance. In addition to accept/reject, a
paper can be marked for revision and resubmission. In this case, the
authors have a fixed amount of time to update the work and resubmit, to get
a final accept/reject decision. If the paper was marked for resubmission
but after resubmission it is rejected, then the work will automatically be
accepted to a non-archival Workshop track of CoLLAs. The authors will still
be able to present a poster on their work as part of this track. This
system is aimed to produce a fairer treatment of borderline papers and to
save the time spent in going through the entire reviewing process from
scratch when resubmitting to a future edition of the conference or a
different relevant conference.

During the rebuttal period, authors are allowed to update their paper once.
However, reviewers are not required to read the new version. Any paper
which had a substantial update during this period will automatically go to
the resubmission stage for a detailed re-review.

Formatting and Supplementary Material

Submissions should have a recommended length of 9 single-column
CoLLAs-formatted
pages, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices. We enforce a
maximum length of 10 pages, where the 10th page can be used if it helps
with the formatting of the paper. The appendices should be within the same
pdf file as the main publication, however an additional zip file can be
submitted that can include multiple files of different formats (e.g. videos
or code). Note that reviewers are under no obligation to examine the
appendix and the supplementary material.

Please format the paper using the official LaTeX style files that can be
found here: https://www.overleaf.com/read/grrjqdpztnpb. We do not support
submissions in formats other than LaTeX. Please do not modify the layout
given by the style file. For any questions, you can reach us at .

Submissions will be through OpenReview (
https://openreview.net/group?id=lifelong-ml.cc/CoLLAs/2022/Conference).
