ICML 2019, Long Beach

The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) is the premier gathering of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the branch of artificial intelligence known as machine learning. ICML is globally renowned for presenting and publishing cutting-edge research on all aspects of machine learning used in closely related areas like artificial intelligence, statistics and data science, as well as important application areas such as machine vision, computational biology, speech recognition, and robotics.

ICML is one of the fastest growing artificial intelligence conferences in the world. This year, ICML will host over 8,000 participants with a wide range of backgrounds, from academic and industrial researchers, to entrepreneurs and engineers, to graduate students and postdocs.

Nine papers by the chair’s academic team have been accepted at this 2019 edition of ICML, by Stephan Clémençon, Olivier Fercoq, Robert M. Gower, Pierre Laforgue, Eugene Ndiaye, Gaël Richard et Umut Simsekli.
