<pre>
 We invite high quality submissions for presentation as talks or posters  during the workshop. We are especially interested in participants who can contribute in the following areas:

    * Non-Convex Optimization
      example problems in ML include
          o Problems with sparsity constraints
          o Sparse PCA
          o Non-negative matrix and tensor approximation
          o Non-convex quadratic programming
    * Combinatorial and Discrete Optimization
      example problems in ML include
          o Estimating MAP solutions to discrete random fields
          o Clustering and graph-partitioning
          o Semi-supervised and multiple-instance learning
          o Feature and subspace selection
    * Stochastic, Parallel and Online Optimization
      example problems in ML include
          o Massive data sets
          o Distributed learning algorithms
    * Algorithms and Techniques
      especially with a focus on an underlying application
          o Polyhedral combinatorics, polytopes and strong valid inequalities
          o Linear and higher-order relaxations
          o Semidefinite programming relaxations
          o Decomposition for large-scale, message-passing and online learning
          o Global and Lipschitz optimization
          o Algorithms for non-smooth optimization
          o Approximation Algorithms

The above list is not exhaustive, and we welcome submissions on highly related topics too.

    * Deadline for submission of papers: 17th October 2008
    * Notification of acceptance: 7th November 2008
    * Final version of submission: 20th November 2008
    * Workshop date: 12th or 13th December 2008
