About
The conference on Theoretical Foundations of Machine Learning (TFML 2019) will take place in Kraków, Poland, on February 11-15, 2019. We invite submissions of papers addressing theoretical aspects of machine learning and related topics. We are especially interested in theoretically motivated perspectives on these areas:
- algorithms: active learning, representation learning, semi-supervised learning, supervised learning, unsupervised learning
- cheminformatics: activity prediction, drug design
- computational complexity of learning
- deep learning: adversarial networks, attention models, computer vision, generative models, natural language processing, speech recognition
- neuroscience and cognitive science
- optimization methods
- reinforcement learning
Conference is organized by Department of Machine Learning, Institute of Computer Science and Computational Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Jagiellonian University.

Registration
There will be three registration options:
- normal (presentations, lunch, coffee breaks, gala diner) - 800 PLN
- reduced (presentations, coffee breaks) - 200 PLN
- volunteered (presentations, lunch, coffee breaks) - 0 PLN (limited number of places, volunteers will be expected to help with registration, coffee breaks, poster sessions and other organizational tasks)
Call for papers
TFML features two tracks:
- research paper, which will be peer reviewed and after acceptance and presentation during the TFML conference published in Schedae Informaticae Journal.
- (new) extended abstract (ideal for students and companies), to be presented as a poster or short talk. We encourage submissions of preeliminary results and original ideas. Presentation will be based on a light review of an extended abstract.
Extended versions of the three best papers will be recommended to publish in AMCS - International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (IF 1.694, 25 points in the evaluation procedure of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education), where they will go through the regular journal review process. Publication fee will be covered by the conference organizers.
Submission format
All submissions should be prepared in English, according to the Schedae Informaticae template. Page limits are as follows:
- research paper - the soft limit (including references, and other additional materials) is 8 pages and a hard limit is 10 pages. Papers longer than 10 pages will be rejected without reviewing.
- extended abstract - at most 2 pages.
Double-blind review
Papers will be selected via a double-blind peer-review process (the reviewers will not know the identities of the authors, and vice versa). It will be up to the authors to ensure the proper anonymization of their paper. In particular, the first page cannot include names or affiliations of the authors. When referring to one's own work, use the third person, rather than the first person. Violation of the above rules may lead to rejection without review.
