The 32nd International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2015) will be held in Lille, France, from July 6 to 11, 2015. The conference will consist of one day of tutorials, followed by three days of main conference sessions, followed by two days of workshops. We invite submissions of papers on all topics related to machine learning for the conference proceedings, and proposals for tutorials and workshops.

This year, ICML will adopt a single reviewing cycle, with a single paper deadline on February 6th, 2015.

Paper Format and Electronic Submission
The submission of papers and the management of the paper reviewing process for the main conference will be entirely electronic. Submissions will be accepted until February 6th, 2015, 23:59 Universal Time (3:59pm Pacific Daylight Time). Detailed formatting and submission instructions for authors will be available soon on the conference web site.

Submitted papers can be up to eight pages long, not including references, and up to nine pages when references are included. Any paper exceeding this length will automatically be rejected. Authors have the option of submitting a supplementary file containing further details of their work; it is entirely up to the reviewers to decide whether they wish to consult this additional material.

All submissions must be anonymized and must follow the formatting guidelines in the templates; otherwise they will automatically be rejected.

Dual Submission Policy
Submitted papers must not be substantially similar to another paper currently under review, or accepted for publication, in a journal, conference or workshop with peer-reviewed proceedings. Similarly, authors must withdraw their papers if they submit an overlapping paper to a different peer-reviewed venue during the ICML review period. If a paper submitted to ICML 2015 is found to significantly overlap with a published or submitted paper at another peer-reviewed venue, then the submission may be rejected and the incident will be recorded with further consequence at the conference organizers’ discretion.

Reviewing Criteria
Accepted papers must contain significant novel results. Results can be either theoretical or empirical. Results will be judged on the degree to which they have been objectively established and/or their potential for scientific and technological impact.
