Workshop on Sparsity in Machine Learning and Statistics.
Sparse estimation is playing an increasingly important role in the statistics and machine learning communities. Several methods have recently been developed in both fields, which rely upon the notion of sparsity (e.g. penalty methods like the Lasso, the Winnow algorithm, linear programming boosting, Dantzig selector, etc.), which can be thought of as a mathematical version of Occam's razor. Many of the key theoretical ideas and statistical analysis of the methods have been developed independently, but there is increasing awareness of the potential for cross-fertilization of ideas between statistics and machine learning. Sparse estimation is starting to have an important impact on applied areas also, with applications ranging from biostatistics, medical imaging, to geoscience and finance. To bring together results on sparsity from different applied and theoretical fields of machine learning and statistics, we are planning to hold a workshop on 1-3rd April 2009 at Cumberland Lodge, UK.

GameNets 2009.
Game theory provides a formal mathematical framework to study complex interactions among interdependent rational players. For more than half a century, game theory has led to revolutionary developments in economics, and has also found important applications in politics, sociology, psychology, engineering, and transportation. Recently, there has been a surge in research activities that employ game theory to model and analyze the performance of various networks, such as communication networks, computer networks, social networks, biological networks, molecular networks, and neural networks. There already exist several successful examples where game theory provides deeper understanding of complex network dynamics and leads to better design of efficient, scalable, and robust networks. Still, there remain many interesting open research problems yet to be identified and explored, and many issues to be addressed. Moreover, studies of different networks heretofore have largely been performed independently, although in many cases it is apparent that they share many similarities in terms of problem structures and the technical challenges they offer.

Abstraction in Reinforcement Learning Workshop at ICML/UAI/COLT 2009.
Although reinforcement learning methods have been effectively applied to a number of problems of practical importance, successful large-scale applications remain the exception rather than the norm. Problems with large state spaces still pose considerable challenges to existing algorithms. Abstraction is the process of factoring out irrelevant details, in other words, of focusing only on the information that is relevant for a particular purpose. For a number of years, the research community has been exploring various forms of abstraction as potential mechanisms for scaling up reinforcement learning algorithms to large, complex problems. State abstraction approaches and temporal abstraction methods have become well established, while recent representation-discovery methods have shown a great deal of promise. The goal of this workshop is to promote interaction between researchers that work on various forms of abstraction in reinforcement learning, to explore possible areas of synergy between existing approaches, and to open up discussion on novel techniques that can harness the existing strengths of different types of abstractions. We welcome submissions on all aspects of abstraction in Reinforcement Learning, including, but not limited to, papers addressing the following topics: Representation: Novel representational frameworks for temporal and state abstraction; experiences with existing frameworks. Discovery: Methods that allow artificial agents to perform state and temporal abstraction autonomously, using their experience in their environment. Algorithms: Learning and planning algorithms that can fully take advantage of temporal abstraction by reasoning at the correct temporal granularity in the presence of actions at different time scales. Applications: Descriptions of real-world applications that make effective use of various abstraction methods; suggestions for real-world and simulated environments that can support ongoing research in the area. Synergy: Methods that use one type of abstraction to discover or improve the performance of another type of abstraction. Overview/Methodology: Reviews of existing methods; comments on methodology; new research directions. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee on the basis of relevance, significance, technical quality, and clarity.

Workshop on Numerical Mathematics in Machine Learning at ICML.
Topics:
Potential short talks / posters should aim to address:
- Raising awareness about the increasing importance of stability and
predictable run-time behaviour of numerical machine learning algorithms and
primitives
- Stability and predictable behaviour as a criterion for making algorithm
choices in machine learning
- Lessons learned (and not learned) in machine learning about numerical
mathematics. Ideas for improvement
- Novel developments in numerical mathematics, with potential impact on
machine learning problems
Contributions will be considered only if a clear effort is made to analyze
problems that arise, and if choices of algorithms, preconditioning, etc. are
clearly motivated. For reasons stated in "Motivation", submissions that
apply numerical methods in a black box fashion, or that treat numerical
techniques without motivating the use for machine learning, cannot be
considered. The usual "smoothing over problems" conference paper style is
discouraged, and naming and analyzing problems is strongly encouraged.
Potential Subtopics (submissions are not limited to these):
A- Solving large linear systems
Arise in the linear model/Gaussian MRF (mean computations), nonlinear
optimization methods (Newton-Raphson, IRLS, ...)
- Preconditioning, use of model structure.
Our main interest is on semi-generic ideas that can be applied to a
range of machine learning real-world situations
B- Novel numerical software developments relevant to ML
- Parallel implementations of LAPACK, BLAS
- Sparse matrix packages
C- Approximate eigensolvers
Arise in the linear model (covariance estimation), spectral clustering
and graph Laplacian methods, PCA
- Lanczos algorithm and specialized variants
- Preconditioning
D- Exploiting matrix/model structure, fast matrix-vector multiplication
- Matrix decompositions/approximations
- Multi-pole methods
- Signal-processing primitives (e.g., variants of FFT)
F- Parallel numerical computation for ML
G- Other numerical mathematics (ODEs, PDEs, Quadrature, etc.) focusing on
machine learning

On-line Learning with Limited Feedback Workshop at ICML/UAI/COLT 2009.
OVERVIEW The main focus of the workshop is the problem of on-line learning when only limited feedback is available to the learner. In on-line learning, at each time step the learner has to predict the outcome corresponding to the next input based on the feedbacks obtained so far. Unlike the usual supervised problem, in which after each prediction the learner is revealed sufficient information to evaluate the goodness of all predictions he could have made, in many cases only limited feedback may be available to the learner. Depending on the nature of the limitation on the feedback, different classes of problems can be identified: 1. Delayed feedback. The utility of an action (i.e., the prediction) is returned only after a certain amount of time. This is the case of reinforcement learning and on-line control problems where the final outcome of an action may be available only when a goal is finally achieved. 2. Partial feedback. The feedback is limited to that on the learner's prediction so that no information is available on what would other possible predictions bring. Multi-armed bandits, when only the utility of the pulled arm is returned to the learner, is the classic example for this. 3. Indirect feedback. Neither the true outcome, nor the utility of the prediction is observed. Only an indirect feedback loosely related to the prediction is returned. The increasing interest in on-line learning with limited feedback is also motivated by a number of applications, such as recommender systems, web advertisement systems, in which the user's feedback is limited to accepting/ignoring the proposed item, and the true label (i.e., the item the user would prefer the most) is never revealed to the learner.

StrucK-09: The IJCAI-09 Workshop on Learning Structural Knowledge from Observations.
Human cognition organizes knowledge in different complexity levels:
higher-level knowledge is formed
by first acquiring simple concepts, which are then combined to learn
complex ones. As a result, many cognitive
architectures use structural models to represent relations between
knowledge of different complexity. Structural
modeling has led to a number of representation and reasoning
formalisms including frames, schemas, abstractions,
hierarchical task networks (HTNs), and goal graphs among others. These
formalisms have in common the use of
certain kinds of constructs (e.g., objects, goals, skills, and tasks)
that represent knowledge of varying degrees of
complexity and that are connected through structural relations.
In recent years, we have observed increasing interest towards the
problem of learning such structural knowledge
from observations. These observations range from traces generated by
an automated planner to video feeds from
a robot performing some actions. Researchers have been addressing
instances of this problem from different
perspectives in a variety of research communities, among others
including
-- Machine Learning (including inductive logic programming (ILP))
-- Automated Planning
-- Case-Based Reasoning
-- Cognitive Science

IJCAI 2009 Workshop on Intelligence and Interaction.
*** Topics of interest *** We invite submissions from leading researchers in both AI and HCI describing research that explores challenges at the intersection of AI and HCI. The workshop is intended to highlight research directions and opportunities for (1) learning and reasoning to enhance human-computer (and human-robot) interaction, and (2) the potential for embedding and involving people more deeply in the operation of learning and reasoning systems. Specific topics may include (but are not limited to): - For what aspects of intelligent systems is human involvement most important? Why? - What are the challenges of incorporating different types of human guidance, such as data provided before a system is operational, explicit corrections provided in response to system errors, and additional information collected by passive observation of interaction with a system? - How can we better characterize human interaction with a learning process and seamlessly incorporate human guidance in the analysis of learning algorithms? - What are the appropriate ways for people to interact with different types of intelligent systems? - How can intelligent systems be sufficiently efficient to maintain interactive responsiveness? - How should we evaluate systems that combine intelligence with human guidance?

"Advanced Scientific Programming in Python" a G-Node Summer School.
Many scientists spend much of their time writing, debugging, and maintaining software. But while techniques for doing this efficiently have been developed, only few scientists actually use them. As a result, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel instead of doing research. In this course we present a selection of advanced programming techniques with theoretical lectures and practical exercises tailored to the needs of the programming scientist. To spice up theory and foster our new skills in a real-world programming project, we will team up to develop an entertaining scientific computer game. We will use the Python programming language for the entire course. With a large collection of open-source scientific modules and all features of a full-fledged programming language, Python is rapidly gaining popularity in the neuroscience community. It enables the scientist to quickly develop powerful, efficient, and structured software and is becoming an essential tool for scientific computing.

Third Course on the Analysis of Patterns.
DESCRIPTION Every aspect of modern society has been affected by the data revolution. Cheap collection, storage and transmission of vast amounts of information have revolutionized the practice of science, technology and business. Ideas from various disciplines have been deployed to help in the task of designing computer systems that can automatically detect and exploit useful regularities (patterns) in general types of data. This is the third meeting of a series devoted to pursuing a unified theoretical description of the various branches of Pattern Analysis. These include statistical approaches to pattern recognition, combinatorial approaches to pattern matching, grammatical representations of structures, and many more fields of mathematics and computer science. The summer school will aim to emphasize a fundamental unity in goals and methods in all these diverse fields, to enhance our understanding of the central principles of pattern analysis, and to assist in the development of new pattern analysis approaches. The meeting is interdisciplinary in nature, and can be seen both as a School for advanced students, and as a Workshop for researchers. Leading researchers in various subfields of pattern analysis will hold tutorials on their subject area, while new ideas will be presented in poster sessions, discussions and short seminars. Students in machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, optimization, data mining, bioinformatics, are particularly encouraged to apply.
