Connectionists: [CFP] 3rd Conference on Lifelong Learning Agents (CoLLAs) 2024 - Deadline Feb 15

[Sarath Chandar]

Dear All,

We invite submissions to the *3rd Conference on Lifelong Learning Agents
(CoLLAs) <https://lifelong-ml.cc/>* that describe new theories,
methodologies, applications, or insights into existing algorithms and
benchmarks for learning in non i.i.d. and non-stationary settings. 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, Self-supervised Learning, or
Unsupervised Learning approaches for:

   - Lifelong Learning / Continual Learning
   - Meta-Learning
   - Multi-Task Learning
   - Transfer Learning
   - Curriculum Learning
   - Domain Adaptation
   - Few-Shot Learning
   - Out-Of-Distribution Generalization
   - Online Learning
   - Active 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.

CoLLAs 2024 will be held in Pisa, Italy at Polo Didattico San Rossore 1938,
a facility provided by the University of Pisa.

For any questions about the conference, you can contact us at
contact at lifelong-ml.cc.

Review Process

Papers will be selected via a 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 (PMLR).

The reviews process will be hosted on OpenReview
<https://openreview.net/group?id=lifelong-ml.cc/CoLLAs/2024/Conference> with
submissions and reviews being private until a decision is made. In addition
to accept/reject, a paper can be marked for conditional acceptance. In this
case, the authors have a fixed amount of time to incorporate a clear list
of demands from the Program Chairs, and if these updates are present, the
paper will automatically get accepted. Rejected papers that initially
received a conditional acceptance (where authors decided not to add the
required modifications) can be presented in the workshop track if the
authors choose to. The authors will still be able to present a poster on
their work as part of this track. This system aims to produce a fairer
treatment of borderline papers and to save the time spent going through the
entire reviewing process when resubmitting to a future edition of the
conference or a different relevant conference.

During the rebuttal period, authors are allowed to update their papers
once. All updates should be clearly marked using the macros provided in the
LaTex style files. However, reviewers are not required to read the new
version.

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 camera-ready version will
have a strict 10-page limit. Accordingly, we ask you not to use the entire
10th page during the initial submission. 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 on Overleaf here <https://www.overleaf.com/read/rbhvqxxsdgrg#af2b46> or
on Git Hub here <https://github.com/collas-conf/collas_2024_latex_template>.
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: contact at lifelong-ml.cc.


Submissions will be through OpenReview:
