The Machine Learning Forum

Welcome to the Machine Learning Forum,

My plan is to make this a meeting place for people working in machine learning and related areas (computer vision, Natural Language understanding, reinforcement learning and control ...)

First and main rule: all contributions are public, including the identity of the contributor. unregistered users cannot make any contribution.

People that have a significant number of publications in well recognized Conferences and Journals are promoted to be "Authors". Authors can submit overviews and reviews. I judge whether people can be authors by looking at the publications on their web site. If you think you should be considered an author, please send me an email.

Also, please upload a photo of yourself to your profile. Only actual photos please (no icons). I will automatically get a notice that you uploaded an image, I will then check it and approve it.

You can now comment on articles (including this one) !

This is my current plan for organizing the site. The site will be divided into three parts:

1) Overviews: overviews are one page summaries of a particular research area/direction. I suggest I write one about drifting games, Kamalika writes one about clustering using gaussian mixtures, Sanjoy writes one about active learning and Nicolo writes one about game theory and learning. These overviews should give pointers to the main papers and books in the area, with a link to the relevant URL, ideally a URL where the pdf of the paper can be downloaded FREELY. Overviews can link to papers of the writer of the overview. This part is operational.

As the number of overviews at this point is very small, the process of submitting new overviews is not necessarilly bug-free. To start, click on the menu item "submit an overview" on the left side. You'll get a wysiwyg html editor. If you'd rather just cut and paste HTML, click on the "<>" button. Be sure to select "Section: Overviews" and save what you did, You should then be able to see your submission if you click on "Overviews" in the main menu.

2) Reviews: These are reviews of individual academic papers, divided into three types: Short papers (conference papers), Long papers (Journal papers or tech reports) and books. The review system will be based on the  jReviews extension of joomla. This part is not yet operational.

3) Forum: A free-form web-board with topics threads etc. Based on the Kunena plugin. As a starting point, any registered person can  start new threads on the forum. This part is operational. For now, I suggest you click on the link to "Forum" that you should have on the left and give me feedback about this plan, suggestions are very welcome! If you are interested in helping me manage and organize the site, please let me know!

Cheers!

Yoav
