AISTATS*07 Call for Papers

Eleventh International Conference on
Artificial Intelligence and Statistics

March 21-24, 2007, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Collocated with the Learning Workshop, March 19-22, 2007

This is the eleventh conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics, an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers at the intersection of computer science, statistics, and related areas. Since its inception in 1985, the primary goal of this conference has been to broaden research in both of these fields by promoting the exchange of ideas between them. We encourage the submission of all papers which are in keeping with this objective.

Presentations will include invited talks, contributed talks, and posters. Papers for poster sessions will be treated equally with papers for oral presentation in publications.

Papers on all aspects of the interface between AI & Statistics are strongly encouraged, including but not limited to:

• Active learning and experimental design
• Approximate and Monte Carlo Inference
• Bayesian statistics
• Causal modelling
• Density Estimation
• Information retrieval
• Game theory
• Cluster analysis and unsupervised learning
• Graphical models
• Integrated man-machine modeling methods
• Interpretability in modelling
• Kernel methods
• Knowledge discovery in databases
• Metadata and the design of statistical data bases
• Model uncertainty, multiple models
• Online learning
• Pattern recognition
• Prediction: classification and regression
• Probability and search
• Semi-supervised learning
• Statistical decision making
• Vision, robotics, natural language processing, speech recognition
• Visualization of very large datasets

Submission Requirements:

Electronic submission of papers is required. The papers (up to 8 pages in length) should be submitted through the AI and Statistics Conference Management page.

Submissions will be considered if they are received by 21:00, October 18, 2006, Universal Time. Receipt of all submissions will be confirmed via electronic mail. Acceptance notices will be emailed by December 17, 2006.
