15th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications December 18-20 2016 DoubleTree by Hilton, Anaheim, CA 92868, USA http://www.icmla-conference.org/icmla16

CALL FOR PAPERS The aim of the 15th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications is to bring together researchers working in the areas of machine learning and applications. Recent emergence for big data processing particularly brings the urgent need for machine learning to address challenges raised from real-time and massive amount of data. The conference will cover both machine learning theoretical works and applications. Contributions describing machine learning (ML) techniques applied to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research involving machine learning, experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights into the design of ML systems, and papers describing development of new analytical frameworks that advance practical machine learning methods are especially encouraged.
