The 5th Asian Conference on Machine Learning invites proposals for workshops to be held on Wed 13 Nov, 2013, at the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. The conference aims at providing a leading international forum for researchers in machine learning and related fields to share their new results, ideas and discuss emerging topics. Submissions from outside the Asia-Pacific region is also highly encouraged.

Workshop proposals that explore the application of machine learning methods to real-world problems are preferred. Of particular interest is exploratory research that describes novel learning tasks and applications requiring non-standard techniques. Submissions that demonstrate both theoretical and empirical rigor are especially encouraged.

• The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the workshop organizers, who should be experts in the related topics and preferably from multiple institutions
