In the interest of spurring the discussion, we also encourage authors to submit extended abstracts and work-in-progress papers with only preliminary results. For additional information, please visit the workshop website: http://dsp.rice.edu/HumanPropelledML_NIPS2014 PAPER SUBMISSION Submissions will be judged on their novelty and potential impact in the emerging field of human propelled machine learning.
