ICLR 2025 - Call for Workshops
Following the ICLR 2025 main conference, two days of in-person workshops on a variety of current topics will be held on April 27 and 28, 2025 in Singapore. We invite researchers interested in chairing a workshop to submit proposals. Workshop organizers have several responsibilities, including coordinating workshop participation and content, publicizing and providing the program in a timely manner, and moderating the program throughout the workshop.
Goal of ICLR Workshops
Workshops provide an informal, cutting edge venue for discussion of works in progress and future directions. Good workshops have helped to crystallize common problems, explicitly contrast competing frameworks, and clarify essential questions for a subfield or application area. Workshops are a structured means of bringing together people with common interests to form communities. Good workshops should include some form of community building.
Each workshop is a single-day, in-person event, split into morning and afternoon sessions, with free time between the sessions for individual exchange. Workshop topics should include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Deep learning / representations learning for scientific discovery
- Theoretical foundations of deep learning
- Fairness in machine learning, transparency, governance and inclusion
- Implementation issues, parallelization, software platforms, hardware
- Learning in low-resource settings
- Optimization for representation learning
- Privacy in deep learning
- Robustness and adversarial learning
- Uncertainty in representation learning
- Generative AI and large language models
- Important Applications in vision, audio, speech, multilingual contexts , robotics, neuroscience, healthcare, climate change, agriculture, pandemic response, societal and policy impact, or any other field, as well as any other topic relevant to an appreciable fraction of the ICLR community.
Detailed descriptions of previous workshops may be found in last year's online schedule (https://blog.iclr.cc/2024/01/08/announcing-the-accepted-workshops-at-iclr-2024/). Workshop schedules should encourage lively debates, stimulate the production of new ideas and foster discussion of important issues. Every group considering submitting a workshop proposal should read the Guidance for ICLR Workshop Proposals 2025, which describes important considerations for hosting workshops, includes templates of previous successful proposals, details the selection criteria and process, describes what is considered a conflict of interest, and includes other frequently asked questions.
