13th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics

This is the thirteenth conference conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics and the first to be held in Europe. Formerly AISTATS was held every two years. In the future the plan is to hold the meeting each year alternating between North America and Europe. AISTATS is an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers at the intersection of computer science, statistics, and related areas. Since its inception in 1985, the primary goal of this conference has been to broaden research in both of these fields by promoting the exchange of ideas between them. We encourage the submission of all papers which are in keeping with this objective.
