Welcome to the 9th Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML 2017). The conference will take place on November 15 - 17, 2017 at Baekyang Hall of Yonsei University campus, Seoul, Korea. We invite professionals and researchers to discuss research results and ideas in machine learning. We seek original and novel research papers resulting from theory and experiment of machine learning. The conference also solicits proposals focusing on disruptive ideas and paradigms within the scope. We encourage submissions from all parts of the world, not only confined to the Asia-Pacific region.

As machine plays critical role in various fields of industry, machine learning researchers needed to gather and share new ideas and achievements at a forum. ACML has begun to take place annually over the Asian regions since 2009. This is the 9th Conference to be held in Seoul, Korea after Hamilton, New Zealand (2016), Hong Kong, China (2015), Nha Trang, Vietnam (2014), Canberra, Australia (2013), Singapore (2012), Taoyuan, Taiwan (2011), Tokyo, Japan (2010), and Nanjing, China (2009). The conference has contributed to understanding the machine leaning, bringing inspiration to scientists, and applying the technologies to industries. This conference will consist of informative and integrated programs as traditions of the previous ones.
