Call for special sessions
The PRML 2026 technical program will highlight a
series of Special Sessions to complement the regular program with
new or emerging topics of particular interest to the Pattern
Recognition and Machine Learning. Prospective organizers of Special
Sessions should submit proposals with the following information:
◆ Title of Special Session
◆ Brief description of Special Session
◆ Related topics
◆ Name, Affiliation, E-mail, Short biography of the
organizers
◆ List of five to six contributed papers (including titles,
authors, contact information of the corresponding author, and a
short abstract). Upon acceptance of the special session proposal,
the contributed papers will be submitted in the same format as
regular papers. Organizers should not contribute more than one
paper.
Proposals will be evaluated based on the
timeliness of the topic and on the qualifications of the organizers
and of the authors of the contributed papers as well.
The papers in each accepted Special Session will undergo a review
process, similar to the other regular papers. Accepted papers will
be published by the conference proceedings, inclusion to indexing
databases. It is the responsibility of the organizers to ensure that
their Special Session papers meet PRML quality standards. In case a
paper in a Special Session does not meet the expected quality, it
will be rejected and an effort will be made to draw papers from the
regular submission process to fill in the gap. If too many papers
for a given Special Session are not accepted in the review process
and we are unable to find suitable substitutes from the regular
review pool, the Special Session may be canceled. Any further
inquiries should be sent to:
icprml@163.com
