Subject Areas

We consider a broad range of subject areas including feature learning, metric learning, compositional modeling, structured prediction, reinforcement learning, uncertainty quantification and issues regarding large-scale learning and non-convex optimization, as well as applications in vision, audio, speech, language, music, robotics, games, healthcare, biology, sustainability, economics, ethical considerations in ML, and others.

A non-exhaustive list of relevant topics:

    unsupervised, self-supervised, semi-supervised, and supervised representation learning
    transfer learning, meta learning, and lifelong learning
