Call For Papers
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a general learning, predicting, and decision making paradigm and applies broadly in many disciplines, including science, engineering and humanities. RL has seen prominent successes in many problems, such as Atari games, AlphaGo, robotics, recommender systems, and AutoML. However, applying RL in the real world remains challenging, and a natural question is:
Why isn’t RL used even more often and how can we improve this?
The main goals of the workshop are to: (1) identify key research problems that are critical for the success of real-world applications; (2) report progress on addressing these critical issues; and (3) have practitioners share their success stories of applying RL to real-world problems, and the insights gained from such applications.
We invite paper submissions successfully applying RL algorithms to real-life problems and/or addressing practically relevant RL issues. Our topics of interest are general, including (but not limited to):
Practical RL algorithms, which cover all algorithmic challenges of RL, especially those that directly address challenges faced by real-world applications;
Practical issues: generalization, sample/time/space efficiency, exploration vs. exploitation, reward specification and shaping, scalability, model-based learning (model validation and model error estimation), prior knowledge, safety, accountability, interpretability, reproducibility, hyper-parameter tuning;
Applications: advertizing, autonomous driving, business processes, chemical synthesis, conversational AI, drawing, drug design, education, energy, finance, healthcare, industrial control, music, recommender systems, robotics, transportation, or other problems in science, engineering and humanities.
Paper Submission
Deadline: June 12, 2021
Notification: TBA
We invite unpublished submissions up to 8 pages excluding references and appendix, in PDF format using the ICML 2021 template and style guidelines. Here is a customized style file for the workshop. (In the .tex file, use "\usepackage{icml2021}" for the submission, and use "\usepackage[accepted]{icml2021}" for the final version if accepted.) We welcome position papers and are open to papers currently under review at other venues. We will follow a double-blind review. We also welcome recently published work, which may keep its original format (for submission and for final version). For the submissions of ICML rejections, please attach the reviews. All accepted papers will be presented as posters, and will be made available on the workshop website. Accepted papers are non-archival, i.e., there will be no proceedings for this workshop.
The submission website is: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/RL4RealLife2021/
