August 6 to 8, 2021, co-hosted by the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and the China Computer Federation, co-organized by the CAAI Machine Learning Committee and the CCF Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition Committee, and undertaken by the National University of Defense Technology the 18th China Conference on Machine Learning (CCML 2021) was successfully held online. The conference focused on cutting-edge academic trends in the field of machine learning. Nearly 900 representatives from major universities, research institutes, publishing institutions, and high-tech companies across the country registered to participate in the conference to share advanced results, innovative ideas and scientific methods in the field of machine learning.


Share ideas and promote exchanges


Six well-known scholars, including Professor Zhang Yanning, Professor Lin Zhouchen, Professor Hu Qinghua, Professor Qian Yuhua, Professor Geng Xin, and Dr. Feng Yanghe, etc. were invited to give special lectures at the conference. They shared the system's in-depth views on the hot, cutting-edge, and difficult issues in machine learning fields such as neural network architecture design, constant variable convolution operators, autonomous machine learning, learning theory, label distribution learning, and agent games. Their sharing has effectively promoted the academic exchanges and field development of domestic counterparts.


 A total of 312 papers were submitted to this conference, and 127 papers were accepted after the communication review and expert meeting of the Program Committee. Papers accepted by the conference were published in regular journals such as "Science China" and "Journal of Software". Part of the papers accepted by the conference are divided into 12 topics for group oral reports. The topics involve deep learning, weakly supervised learning, reinforcement learning, optimization and evolutionary computing, text mining and natural language processing, visual analysis and recognition, recommendation systems, and machine learning applications and so on. During the conference, five thematic forums were held, including CAAI-ML Young Scholars Forum, FCS Young Scholars Exchange Meeting, Smart Game Forum, Small Sample Learning Forum, and Smart Application Forum. The participants expressed their opinions freely, and the academic atmosphere was strong and active.


During this meeting, the CAAI Machine Learning Committee successfully held a general meeting of the committee on the afternoon of August 6, and elected the (eighth) machine learning special committee designate; on the evening of August 6th, a working meeting of the committee was held and the co-election of the communication members of the seventh machine learning committee was carried out. The special committee decided that the 19th China Machine Learning Conference will be hosted by Henan Normal University.


The opening ceremony of the 18th China Machine Learning Conference was presided over by the conference program chairman and Professor Huang Jincai of National University of Defense Technology. Major General Wu Jianjun, Vice President of National University of Defense Technology, delivered a welcome speech. Director of CAAI Machine Learning Committee, Professor Chen Songcan of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Director of CCF Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition Committee, Professor Yu Jian of Beijing Jiaotong University, Chairman of the Conference, National Defense Technology Professor Liu Zhong from the University delivered speeches respectively, and the program chairman and Dr. Li Yufeng from Nanjing University delivered the work report of the program committee.


The six invited reports were wonderful


On the morning of August 7, Professor Hu Qinghua gave a special lecture entitled "Uncertainty Driven Autonomous Machine Learning". Professor Xin Geng gave a special lecture entitled "Classification Based on Marked Distribution Learning". Professor Qian Yuhua gave a special lecture entitled "Learnable Theory from the Perspective of Random Consistency". On the afternoon of August 8, Professor Zhang Yanning gave a special lecture entitled "Unlocking Data and Structure-Some Explorations in New Neural Network Design and Learning". Professor Lin Zhouchen gave a special lecture entitled "Partial Differential Operator Based Equivariant Convolutions". Dr. Feng Yanghe gave a special lecture entitled " The Speed  of Agent Thinking in a Strong Confrontation Environment". Specially invited report experts and participants had full online exchanges on academic issues of concern.。


The closing ceremony of the conference was chaired by Professor Zhang Minling from Southeast University. Professor Li Tianrui from Southwest Jiaotong University announced the CCML 2021 outstanding student papers on behalf of the selection team. Professor Chen Songcan from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics introduced the status of the designated (eighth) CAAI machine learning committee. Representatives of the organizers of the 9th China Conference on Data Mining (CCDM 2022) and the 19th China Conference on Machine Learning (CCML 2023) introduced the conference respectively. Professor Chen Enhong from the University of Science and Technology of China delivered a closing speech on behalf of the chairman of the conference.
