26th Annual Conference on Learning Theory (COLT), Princeton 2013

26th Annual Conference on Learning Theory (COLT), Princeton 2013

The conference is a single track meeting that includes invited talks as well as oral presentations of all refereed papers. We invited submissions of papers addressing theoretical aspects of machine learning and related topics. We strongly support a broad definition of learning theory, including, but not limited to:

Design and analysis of learning algorithms and their generalization ability

Computational complexity of learning

Optimization procedures for learning

Unsupervised, semi-supervised learning and clustering

Online learning

Active learning

High dimensional and non-parametric empirical inference, including sparsity methods

Planning and control, including reinforcement learning

Learning with additional constraints: E.g. privacy, time or memory budget, communication

Learning in other settings: E.g. social, economic, and game-theoretic

Analysis of learning in related fields: natural language processing, neuroscience, bioinformatics, privacy and security, machine vision, data mining, information retrieval.
