2 0.21530257 234 hunch net-2007-02-22-Create Your Own ICML Workshop
Introduction: As usual ICML 2007 will be hosting a workshop program to be held this year on June 24th. The success of the program depends on having researchers like you propose interesting workshop topics and then organize the workshops. I’d like to encourage all of you to consider sending a workshop proposal. The proposal deadline has been extended to March 5. See the workshop web-site for details. Organizing a workshop is a unique way to gather an international group of researchers together to focus for an entire day on a topic of your choosing. I’ve always found that the cost of organizing a workshop is not so large, and very low compared to the benefits. The topic and format of a workshop are limited only by your imagination (and the attractiveness to potential participants) and need not follow the usual model of a mini-conference on a particular ML sub-area. Hope to see some interesting proposals rolling in.

Introduction: Registration for COLT 2007 is now open. The conference will take place on 13-15 June, 2007, in San Diego, California, as part of the 2007 Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC), which includes STOC, Complexity, and EC. The website for COLT: http://www.learningtheory.org/colt2007/index.html The early registration deadline is May 11, and the cutoff date for discounted hotel rates is May 9. Before registering, take note that the fees are substantially lower for members of ACM and/or SIGACT than for nonmembers. If you’ve been contemplating joining either of these two societies (annual dues: $99 for ACM, $18 for SIGACT), now would be a good time!

Introduction: Manik and I are organizing the extreme classification workshop at NIPS this year. We have a number of good speakers lined up, but I would further encourage anyone working in the area to submit an abstract by October 9. I believe this is an idea whose time has now come. The NIPS website doesn’t have other workshops listed yet, but I expect several others to be of significant interest.

Introduction: Many Machine Learning related events are coming up this fall. September 9 , abstracts for the New York Machine Learning Symposium are due. Send a 2 page pdf, if interested, and note that we: widened submissions to be from anybody rather than students. set aside a larger fraction of time for contributed submissions. September 15 , there is a machine learning meetup , where I’ll be discussing terascale learning at AOL. September 16 , there is a CS&Econ; day at New York Academy of Sciences. This is not ML focused, but it’s easy to imagine interest. September 23 and later NIPS workshop submissions start coming due. As usual, there are too many good ones, so I won’t be able to attend all those that interest me. I do hope some workshop makers consider ICML this coming summer, as we are increasing to a 2 day format for you. Here are a few that interest me: Big Learning is about dealing with lots of data. Abstracts are due September 30 . The Bayes

4 0.63540518 321 hunch net-2008-10-19-NIPS 2008 workshop on Kernel Learning
Introduction: We’d like to invite hunch.net readers to participate in the NIPS 2008 workshop on kernel learning. While the main focus is on automatically learning kernels from data, we are also also looking at the broader questions of feature selection, multi-task learning and multi-view learning. There are no restrictions on the learning problem being addressed (regression, classification, etc), and both theoretical and applied work will be considered. The deadline for submissions is October 24 . More detail can be found here . Corinna Cortes, Arthur Gretton, Gert Lanckriet, Mehryar Mohri, Afshin Rostamizadeh
5 0.59719115 319 hunch net-2008-10-01-NIPS 2008 workshop on ‘Learning over Empirical Hypothesis Spaces’
Introduction: This workshop asks for insights how far we may/can push the theoretical boundary of using data in the design of learning machines. Can we express our classification rule in terms of the sample, or do we have to stick to a core assumption of classical statistical learning theory, namely that the hypothesis space is to be defined independent from the sample? This workshop is particularly interested in – but not restricted to – the ‘luckiness framework’ and the recently introduced notion of ‘compatibility functions’ in a semi-supervised learning context (more information can be found at http://www.kuleuven.be/wehys ).

2 0.51457208 159 hunch net-2006-02-27-The Peekaboom Dataset
Introduction: Luis von Ahn ‘s Peekaboom project has yielded data (830MB). Peekaboom is the second attempt (after Espgame ) to produce a dataset which is useful for learning to solve vision problems based on voluntary game play. As a second attempt, it is meant to address all of the shortcomings of the first attempt. In particular: The locations of specific objects are provided by the data. The data collection is far more complete and extensive. The data consists of: The source images. (1 file per image, just short of 60K images.) The in-game events. (1 file per image, in a lispy syntax.) A description of the event language. There is a great deal of very specific and relevant data here so the hope that this will help solve vision problems seems quite reasonable.
3 0.26345 424 hunch net-2011-02-17-What does Watson mean?
Introduction: Watson convincingly beat the best champion Jeopardy! players. The apparent significance of this varies hugely, depending on your background knowledge about the related machine learning, NLP, and search technology. For a random person, this might seem evidence of serious machine intelligence, while for people working on the system itself, it probably seems like a reasonably good assemblage of existing technologies with several twists to make the entire system work. Above all, I think we should congratulate the people who managed to put together and execute this project—many years of effort by a diverse set of highly skilled people were needed to make this happen. In academia, it’s pretty difficult for one professor to assemble that quantity of talent, and in industry it’s rarely the case that such a capable group has both a worthwhile project and the support needed to pursue something like this for several years before success. Alina invited me to the Jeopardy watching party
4 0.25877899 160 hunch net-2006-03-02-Why do people count for learning?
Introduction: This post is about a confusion of mine with respect to many commonly used machine learning algorithms. A simple example where this comes up is Bayes net prediction. A Bayes net where a directed acyclic graph over a set of nodes where each node is associated with a variable and the edges indicate dependence. The joint probability distribution over the variables is given by a set of conditional probabilities. For example, a very simple Bayes net might express: P(A,B,C) = P(A | B,C)P(B)P(C) What I don’t understand is the mechanism commonly used to estimate P(A | B, C) . If we let N(A,B,C) be the number of instances of A,B,C then people sometimes form an estimate according to: P’(A | B,C) = N(A,B,C) / N /[N(B)/N * N(C)/N] = N(A,B,C) N /[N(B) N(C)] … in other words, people just estimate P’(A | B,C) according to observed relative frequencies. This is a reasonable technique when you have a large number of samples compared to the size space A x B x C , but it (nat
