ICML workshop Law and Machine Learning & COVID-19

As for ICML 2020, the Law and Machine Learning workshop will move to a virtual format.

Two-Track Submissions

Conference submissions follow two tracks: full conference papers and two-pages abstracts (posters).

Full papers contain methodological developments, well-validated applications, or Law papers covering the topics of the workshop. In order to favor contributions from different fields, there is no strict limit on paper length or particular format to follow. For methodological paper, we however recommend limiting the paper length to 9 pages with an additional page for the references and as many pages as needed in an appendix section (all in a single pdf). An amount of 6 to 9 full papers will be selected for oral presentations. Other accepted full papers will be presented as posters.

We also accept two-pages abstracts discussing recently published or submitted journal contributions to give authors the opportunity to present their work and obtain feedback from conference attendees. All accepted abstracts will be presented as posters.
