ICML 2016 in NYC and KDD Cup 2016 « Machine Learning (Theory)

ICML 2016 is in New York City. I expect it to be the largest ICML by far given the destination--New York is the place which is perhaps easiest to reach from anywhere in the world and it has the largest machine learning meetup anywhere in the world. I am the general chair this year, which is light in work but heavy in responsibilities. Markus Weimer also points out the 2016 KDD Cup which has a submission deadline of December 6. KDD Cup datasets have become common reference for many machine learning papers, so this is a good way to get your problem solved well by many people.
