Introduction: If you are in the New York area and interested in machine learning, consider submitting a 2 page abstract to the ML symposium by tomorrow (Sept 5th) midnight. It’s a fun one day affair on October 10 in an awesome location overlooking the world trade center site. A bit further off (but a real conference) is the AI and Stats deadline on November 5, to be held in Florida April 16-19.

Introduction: has died . He lived a full life. I know him personally as a founder of the Center for Computational Learning Systems and the New York Machine Learning Symposium , both of which have sheltered and promoted the advancement of machine learning. I expect much of the New York area machine learning community will miss him, as well as many others around the world.

Introduction: On Sept 21, there is another machine learning meetup where I’ll be speaking. Although the topic is contextual bandits, I think of it as “the future of machine learning”. In particular, it’s all about how to learn in an interactive environment, such as for ad display, trading, news recommendation, etc… On Sept 24, abstracts for the New York Machine Learning Symposium are due. This is the largest Machine Learning event in the area, so it’s a great way to have a conversation with other people. On Oct 22, the NY ML Symposium actually happens. This year, we are expanding the spotlights, and trying to have more time for posters. In addition, we have a strong set of invited speakers: David Blei , Sanjoy Dasgupta , Tommi Jaakkola , and Yann LeCun . After the meeting, a late hackNY related event is planned where students and startups can meet. I’d also like to point out the related CS/Econ symposium as I have interests there as well.

Introduction: The New York Machine Learning Symposium is October 19 with a 2 page abstract deadline due September 13 via email with subject “Machine Learning Poster Submission” sent to physicalscience@nyas.org. Everyone is welcome to submit. Last year’s attendance was 246 and I expect more this year. The primary experiment for ICML 2013 is multiple paper submission deadlines with rolling review cycles. The key dates are October 1, December 15, and February 15. This is an attempt to shift ICML further towards a journal style review process and reduce peak load. The “not for proceedings” experiment from this year’s ICML is not continuing. Edit: Fixed second ICML deadline.

Introduction: Several events are happening in the NY area. Barriers in Computational Learning Theory Workshop, Aug 28. That’s tomorrow near Princeton. I’m looking forward to speaking at this one on “Getting around Barriers in Learning Theory”, but several other talks are of interest, particularly to the CS theory inclined. Claudia Perlich is running the INFORMS Data Mining Contest with a deadline of Sept. 25. This is a contest using real health record data (they partnered with HealthCare Intelligence ) to predict transfers and mortality. In the current US health care reform debate, the case studies of high costs we hear strongly suggest machine learning & statistics can save many billions. The Singularity Summit October 3&4 . This is for the AIists out there. Several of the talks look interesting, although unfortunately I’ll miss it for ALT . Predictive Analytics World, Oct 20-21 . This is stretching the definition of “New York Area” a bit, but the train to DC is reasonable.

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

2 0.73851758 441 hunch net-2011-08-15-Vowpal Wabbit 6.0
Introduction: I just released Vowpal Wabbit 6.0 . Since the last version: VW is now 2-3 orders of magnitude faster at linear learning, primarily thanks to Alekh . Given the baseline, this is loads of fun, allowing us to easily deal with terafeature datasets, and dwarfing the scale of any other open source projects. The core improvement here comes from effective parallelization over kilonode clusters (either Hadoop or not). This code is highly scalable, so it even helps with clusters of size 2 (and doesn’t hurt for clusters of size 1). The core allreduce technique appears widely and easily reused—we’ve already used it to parallelize Conjugate Gradient, LBFGS, and two variants of online learning. We’ll be documenting how to do this more thoroughly, but for now “README_cluster” and associated scripts should provide a good starting point. The new LBFGS code from Miro seems to commonly dominate the existing conjugate gradient code in time/quality tradeoffs. The new matrix factoriz

Introduction: Multitask learning is the problem of jointly predicting multiple labels simultaneously with one system. A basic question is whether or not multitask learning can be decomposed into one (or more) single prediction problems . It seems the answer to this is “yes”, in a fairly straightforward manner. The basic idea is that a controlled input feature is equivalent to an extra output. Suppose we have some process generating examples: (x,y 1 ,y 2 ) in S where y 1 and y 2 are labels for two different tasks. Then, we could reprocess the data to the form S b (S) = {((x,i),y i ): (x,y 1 ,y 2 ) in S, i in {1,2}} and then learn a classifier c:X x {1,2} -> Y . Note that (x,i) is the (composite) input. At testing time, given an input x , we can query c for the predicted values of y 1 and y 2 using (x,1) and (x,2) . A strong form of equivalence can be stated between these tasks. In particular, suppose we have a multitask learning algorithm ML which learns a multitask

Introduction: At the last ICML , Tom Dietterich asked me to look into systems for commenting on papers. I’ve been slow getting to this, but it’s relevant now. The essential observation is that we now have many tools for online collaboration, but they are not yet much used in academic research. If we can find the right way to use them, then perhaps great things might happen, with extra kudos to the first conference that manages to really create an online community. Various conferences have been poking at this. For example, UAI has setup a wiki , COLT has started using Joomla , with some dynamic content, and AAAI has been setting up a “ student blog “. Similarly, Dinoj Surendran setup a twiki for the Chicago Machine Learning Summer School , which was quite useful for coordinating events and other things. I believe the most important thing is a willingness to experiment. A good place to start seems to be enhancing existing conference websites. For example, the ICML 2007 papers pag
5 0.4647204 270 hunch net-2007-11-02-The Machine Learning Award goes to …
Introduction: Perhaps the biggest CS prize for research is the Turing Award , which has a $0.25M cash prize associated with it. It appears none of the prizes so far have been for anything like machine learning (the closest are perhaps database awards). In CS theory, there is the Gödel Prize which is smaller and newer, offering a $5K prize along and perhaps (more importantly) recognition. One such award has been given for Machine Learning, to Robert Schapire and Yoav Freund for Adaboost. In Machine Learning, there seems to be no equivalent of these sorts of prizes. There are several plausible reasons for this: There is no coherent community. People drift in and out of the central conferences all the time. Most of the author names from 10 years ago do not occur in the conferences of today. In addition, the entire subject area is fairly new. There are at least a core group of people who have stayed around. Machine Learning work doesn’t last Almost every paper is fo
