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: About 200 people attended the 2010 NYAS ML Symposium this year. (It was about 170 last year .) I particularly enjoyed several talks. Yann has a new live demo of (limited) real-time object recognition learning. Sanjoy gave a fairly convincing and comprehensible explanation of why a modified form of single-linkage clustering is consistent in higher dimensions, and why consistency is a critical feature for clustering algorithms. I’m curious how well this algorithm works in practice. Matt Hoffman ‘s poster covering online LDA seemed pretty convincing to me as an algorithmic improvement. This year, we allocated more time towards posters & poster spotlights. For next year, we are considering some further changes. The format has traditionally been 4 invited Professor speakers, with posters and poster spotlight for students. Demand from other parties to participate is growing, for example from postdocs and startups in the area. Another growing concern is the fa

Introduction: There will be no New York ML Symposium this year. The core issue is that NYAS is disorganized by people leaving, pushing back the date, with the current candidate a spring symposium on March 28. Gunnar and I were outvoted here—we were gung ho on organizing a fall symposium, but the rest of the committee wants to wait. In some good news, most of the ICML 2012 videos have been restored from a deep backup.

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.

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

Introduction: A reminder that the New York Academy of Sciences will be hosting the 7th Annual Machine Learning Symposium tomorrow from 9:30am. The main program will feature invited talks from Peter Bartlett , William Freeman , and Vladimir Vapnik , along with numerous spotlight talks and a poster session. Following the main program, hackNY and Microsoft Research are sponsoring a networking hour with talks from machine learning practitioners at NYC startups (specifically bit.ly , Buzzfeed , Chartbeat , and Sense Networks , Visual Revenue ). This should be of great interest to everyone considering working in machine learning.

Introduction: Attendance at the NIPS workshops is highly recommended for both research and learning. Unfortunately, there does not yet appear to be a public list of workshops. However, I found the following workshop webpages of interest: Machine Learning in Finance Learning to Rank Foundations of Active Learning Machine Learning Based Robotics in Unstructured Environments There are many more workshops. In fact, there are so many that it is not plausible anyone can attend every workshop they are interested in. Maybe in future years the organizers can spread them out over more days to reduce overlap. Many of these workshops are accepting presentation proposals (due mid-October).

Introduction: This is a proposal for a workshop. It may or may not happen depending on the level of interest. If you are interested, feel free to indicate so (by email or comments). Description: Assume(*) that any system for solving large difficult learning problems must decompose into repeated use of basic elements (i.e. atoms). There are many basic questions which remain: What are the viable basic elements? What makes a basic element viable? What are the viable principles for the composition of these basic elements? What are the viable principles for learning in such systems? What problems can this approach handle? Hal Daume adds: Can composition of atoms be (semi-) automatically constructed[?] When atoms are constructed through reductions, is there some notion of the “naturalness” of the created leaning problems? Other than Markov fields/graphical models/Bayes nets, is there a good language for representing atoms and their compositions? The answer to these a

Introduction: There are many ways that interesting research gets done. For example it’s common at a conference for someone to discuss a problem with a partial solution, and for someone else to know how to solve a piece of it, resulting in a paper. In some sense, these are the easiest results we can achieve, so we should ask: Can all research be this easy? The answer is certainly no for fields where research inherently requires experimentation to discover how the real world works. However, mathematics, including parts of physics, computer science, statistics, etc… which are effectively mathematics don’t require experimentation. In effect, a paper can be simply a pure expression of thinking. Can all mathematical-style research be this easy? What’s going on here is research-by-communication. Someone knows something, someone knows something else, and as soon as someone knows both things, a problem is solved. The interesting thing about research-by-communication is that it is becoming radic

The idea is that many poor decisions happen because the papers go to reviewers who are unqualified, and the hope is that allowing authors to point out who is qualified results in better decisions. In my experience, this is a reasonable idea to test. Both UAI and COLT are experimenting this year as well with double blind and author feedback, respectively. Of the two, I believe author feedback is more important, as I’ve seen it make a difference. However, I still consider double blind reviewing a net wi
