============================================================
The 33rd International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2016)
<http://icml.cc/2016/> will be held in New York City from June 19 to 24,
2016. 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 5th.

Submissions are managed through CMT :
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ICML2016/Default.aspx

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 02/05/2016, 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 ten pages when references and acknowledgement 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. The supplementary material must
be submitted as a zip file, even if it only contains a single PDF
document.

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

It is not appropriate to submit papers 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. Such submissions violate our dual submission policy.

There are several exceptions to this rule:

1. Submission is permitted of a short version of a paper that has been
submitted to a journal, but has not yet been published in that journal.
Authors must declare such dual-submissions either through the CMT
submission form, or via email to the program chairs
([email protected]). It is the author's responsibility to make sure
that the journal in question allows dual concurrent submissions to
conferences.

2. Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented at
conferences or workshops without proceedings (e.g., ICML or NIPS
workshops), or with only abstracts published.

3. Submission is permitted for papers that have previously been made
available as a technical report (or similar, e.g., in arXiv). In this case
we suggest the authors not cite the report, so as to preserve anonymity.

Finally, note that previously published papers with substantial overlap
written by the authors must be cited in such a way so as to preserve
author anonymity. Differences relative to these earlier papers must be
explained in the text of the submission. For example, (?This work develops
[our earlier work], which showed that??)

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.
