Call for Papers: NIPS 2014 Workshop on Human Propelled Machine Learning

SUMMARY

The NIPS 2014 workshop on Human Propelled Machine Learning will held in
conjunction with NIPS 2014 on Saturday, December 14, 2014, at the Palais
des Congr=C3=A8s de Montr=C3=A9al Convention and Exhibition Center in Montr=

- Machine learning-based education
- Adaptive testing in psychological surveys, educational assessments, and
recommender systems
- Interactive topic modeling
- Computer vision with human collaboration
- Knowledge graph construction
- Other novel machine learning applications involving humans-in-the-loop

Submissions should follow the regular NIPS paper format. Papers submitted
for review do not need to be anonymized. Accepted papers will be made
available on the workshop website, since there will be no official
proceedings. Accepted papers will be presented either as a talk or as a
poster. We welcome submissions with either novel results that have not been
published previously or extensions of the authors' previous work that has
been recently published or is under review in another conference or
journal. 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:
