Call For Papers


We invite submissions of papers addressing all aspects of ranking in machine learning, including:
  • algorithmic approaches for ranking
  • theoretical analyses of ranking algorithms
  • comparisons of different forms of ranking
  • formulations of new forms of ranking
  • relationships between ranking and other learning problems
  • novel applications of ranking
  • challenges in applying or analyzing ranking methods
We also welcome papers on ranking that do not fit into one of the above categories, as well as papers that describe work in progress. We are particularly interested in papers that point to new questions/debate in ranking and/or shed new light on existing issues.

Please note that papers that have previously appeared (or have been accepted for publication) in a journal or at a conference or workshop, or that are being submitted to another workshop, are not appropriate for this workshop.

Email submissions (in pdf or ps format only) to shivani@mit.edu with subject line "Workshop Paper Submission" and with the title, authors' names and abstract included in the body of the message.
