Call For Papers

NIPS 2010 Call for Papers
Submit Here

Submissions are solicited for the Twenty-Fourth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, an interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers in all aspects of neural and statistical information processing and computation. The conference is a highly selective, single track meeting that includes invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. Submissions by authors who are new to NIPS are encouraged. This year we are encouraging our reviewers to favor papers that open new avenues of research as well papers with solid applications.

Preceding the main conference will be one day of tutorials (December 6), and following will be two days of workshops at the Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort (December 10-11).

Deadline for Paper Submissions: Thursday June 3, 2010, 23:59 Universal Time (4:59pm Pacific Daylight Time) – please note the change of day to Thursday from the usual Friday deadline. submit here

Technical Areas: Papers are solicited in all areas of neural information processing and statistical learning, including, but not limited to:

* Algorithms and Architectures: statistical learning algorithms, kernel methods, graphical models, Gaussian processes, neural networks, dimensionality reduction and manifold learning, model selection, combinatorial optimization, relational and structured learning.
* Applications: innovative applications or fielded systems that use machine learning, including systems for time series prediction, bioinformatics, systems biology, text/web analysis, multimedia processing, and robotics.
* Brain Imaging: neuroimaging, cognitive neuroscience, EEG (electroencephalogram), ERP (event related potentials), MEG (magnetoencephalogram), fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), brain mapping, brain segmentation, brain computer interfaces.
* Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence: theoretical, computational, or experimental studies of perception, psychophysics, human or animal learning, memory, reasoning, problem solving, natural language processing, and neuropsychology.
* Control and Reinforcement Learning: decision and control, exploration, planning, navigation, Markov decision processes, game playing, multi-agent coordination, computational models of classical and operant conditioning.
* Hardware Technologies: analog and digital VLSI, neuromorphic engineering, computational sensors and actuators, microrobotics, bioMEMS, neural prostheses, photonics, molecular and quantum computing.
* Learning Theory: generalization, regularization and model selection, Bayesian learning, spaces of functions and kernels, statistical physics of learning, online learning and competitive analysis, hardness of learning and approximations, statistical theory, large deviations and asymptotic analysis, information theory.
* Neuroscience: theoretical and experimental studies of processing and transmission of information in biological neurons and networks, including spike train generation, synaptic modulation, plasticity and adaptation.
* Speech and Signal Processing: recognition, coding, synthesis, denoising, segmentation, source separation, auditory perception, psychoacoustics, dynamical systems, recurrent networks, language models, dynamic and temporal models.
* Visual Processing: biological and machine vision, image processing and coding, segmentation, object detection and recognition, motion detection and tracking, visual psychophysics, visual scene analysis and interpretation.



Evaluation Criteria: Submissions will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty, potential impact, and clarity.

Submission Instructions: All submissions will be made electronically, in PDF format. As in previous years, reviewing will be double-blind -- the reviewers will not know the identities of the authors. Papers are limited to eight pages, including figures and tables, in the NIPS style. An additional ninth page containing only cited references is allowed. Complete submission and formatting instructions, including style files, are available from the NIPS website, http://nips.cc.

Supplementary Material: Authors can submit up to 10 MB of material, containing proofs, audio, images, video, or even data or source code. Note that the reviewers and the program committee reserve the right to judge the paper solely on the basis of the 9 pages of the paper; looking at any extra material is up to the discretion of the reviewers and is not required.

Electronic submissions will be accepted until Thursday June 3, 2010, 23:59 Universal Time (4:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time). Note that as with last year, final papers will be due in advance of the conference.

Dual Submissions Policy: Submissions that are identical (or substantially similar) to versions that have been previously published, or accepted for publication, or that have been submitted in parallel to other conferences are not appropriate for NIPS. Exceptions to this rule are the following:

1. Submission is permitted of a short version of a paper that has been submitted, but not yet accepted, to a journal.
2. Papers presented or to be presented at conferences or workshops without proceedings, or with only abstracts published.

The rules only apply during the NIPS review period that begins June 14 and ends August 27, 2010.

It is acceptable to submit to NIPS 2010 work that has been made available as a technical report (or similar, e.g. in arXiv) as long as the conditions above are satisfied. However, note that this could compromise the authors' anonymity.

Authors’ Responsibilities: If there are papers that may appear to violate any of these conditions, it is the authors' responsibility to (1) cite these papers (preserving anonymity), (2) argue in the body of your paper why your NIPS paper is non-trivially different from these concurrent submissions, and (3) include anonymized versions of those papers in the supplemental material.

Demonstrations and Workshops: There is a separate Demonstration track at NIPS. Authors wishing to submit to the Demonstration track should consult the Call for Demonstrations. The workshops will be held at the Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort from December 10-11. The upcoming call for workshop proposals will provide details.
