Deadline Extended: COLT/ICML 2012 Call for Open Problems

#########################################################

           COLT/ICML 2012 Call for Open Problems
                     Deadline April 10

COLT and ICML 2012 will share an Open Theoretical Problems
session. Problem descriptions (if accepted) will appear in
COLT proceedings and on conference websites. The authors
will be asked to give a short presentation.

The write-up of an open problem should include:

    * a clearly defined theoretical problem, relevant to
      COLT/ICML;
    * the motivation for studying the problem, with an
      argument why it is important, interesting, and not
      too easy;
    * the current state of this problem (including any
      known partial or conjectured solutions and relevant
      references).

As last year, we encourage submissions of problems not
conventionally in the scope of COLT/ICML, as long as there
is a convincing reason to include it in the conference. You
should be able to clearly express the problem in a short
presentation. A reward for solving an open problem is
encouraged but not required.

If you would like to submit a problem, please email it to
colt2012open@gmail.com by April 10, 2012. Submissions should
be at most 2 pages long and should be in the COLT'12 JMLR
format (pdf or ps).
