Prestigious Conferences for Machine Learning Community

There are many prestigious conferences for the machine learning community, where researchers and practitioners can present their latest findings, exchange ideas, and network with each other. Some of the most well-known and influential conferences are are follows.

 

 

 

 

 

Top Three:

1. International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML): Google Scholar Link
   
   The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) is the leading international academic conference in machine learning. Along with NeurIPS and ICLR, it is one of the three primary conferences of high impact in machine learning and artificial intelligence research.^[1] It is supported by the (IMLS). Precise dates vary year to year, but paper submissions are generally due at the end of January, and the conference is generally held the following July. The first ICML was held 1980 in Pittsburgh.^[2][3]
   
   
2. Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurlPS): Google Scholar Link
   
   The Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems (abbreviated as NeurIPS and formerly NIPS) is a machine learning and computational neuroscience conference held every December. The conference is currently a double-track meeting (single-track until 2015) that includes invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers, followed by parallel-track workshops that up to 2013 were held at ski resorts.
   
   
3. International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR): Google Scholar Link
   
   The International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) is a machine learning conference typically held in late April or early May each year. The conference includes invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. Since its inception in 2013, ICLR has employed an open peer review process to referee paper submissions (based on models proposed by Yann LeCun^[1]). In 2019, there were 1591 paper submissions, of which 500 accepted with poster presentations (31%) and 24 with oral presentations (1.5%).^[2]. In 2021, there were 2997 paper submissions, of which 860 were accepted (29%).^[3]. 

Other Top Conferences:

1. CVPR (Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition): This is the premier conference in computer vision, where researchers present their work on image processing, recognition, understanding, and generation. It is held in June every year, and showcases the latest advances in this rapidly evolving field. The next CVPR will be held in Vancouver, Canada, from June 18 to 22, 2023.
   
   
2. ICCV (International Conference on Computer Vision): This is another leading conference in computer vision, which is held every other year in October. It covers similar topics as CVPR, but also includes more interdisciplinary and emerging areas. The last ICCV was held online in October 2021.
   
   
3. ECCV (European Conference on Computer Vision): This is the European counterpart of CVPR and ICCV, which is also held every other year in September or October. It attracts researchers from Europe and around the world, who present their work on various aspects of computer vision. The next ECCV will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel, from October 24 to 28, 2022.
   
   
4. ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics): This is the main conference for natural language processing (NLP), where researchers present their work on language analysis, generation, understanding, and translation. It is held in May or June every year, and features keynote speeches, oral presentations, posters, and demos. The next ACL will be held in Dublin, Ireland, from May 22 to 27, 2022.
   
   
5. EMNLP (Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing): This is another important conference for NLP, which focuses on empirical methods and data-driven approaches. It is held in November or December every year, and includes workshops, tutorials, panels, and shared tasks. The next EMNLP will be held in Singapore City from December 6 to 10, 2023.
   
   
6. IJCAI (International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence): This is the oldest and most prestigious conference in artificial intelligence (AI), where researchers present their work on various aspects of AI, such as reasoning, planning, learning, knowledge representation, robotics, and ethics. It is held every other year in July or August. The next IJCAI will be held in Vienna, Austria from July 23 to 29 ,2022.

There are also many other specialized conferences that focus on specific domains or applications of machine learning. For example:

1. AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence): This is a general conference for AI that covers a wide range of topics and subfields. It is usually held in February every year.
   
   
2. ICLR (International Conference on Learning Representations): This is a conference for deep learning that covers both theory and practice. It is usually held in April or May every year2.
   
   
3. KDD (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining): This is a conference for data mining that covers both research and applications. It is usually held in August every year.
   
   
4. SIGIR (Research and Development in Information Retrieval): This is a conference for information retrieval that covers both theory and systems. It is usually held in July every year.
   
   
5. WSDM (Web Search and Data Mining): This is a conference for web search and data mining that covers both algorithms and user behavior. It is usually held in February or March every year.
   
   
6. COLT (Conference on Learning Theory): This is a conference for theoretical machine learning that covers both foundations and applications. It is usually held in June or July every year.
   
   
7. MLConf (Machine Learning Conference): This is a series of conferences for machine learning that are held several times a year in different locations around the world.
   
   
8. Ai4 (AI for Industry): This is a series of conferences for AI that are held several times a year in different industries, such as healthcare, finance, retail, and cybersecurity.
