ICML 2016 Workshop on
Multi-View Representation Learning (MVRL)

June 23, 2016
New York City, NY, USA

Workshop Abstract

Multi-view data are becoming increasingly available in machine learning and its applications. Such data may consist of multi-modal measurements of an underlying signal, such as audio+video, audio+articulation, video+fMRI, image+text, webpage+click-through data, and text in different languages; or may consist of synthetic views of the same measurements, such as different time steps of a time sequence, word+context words, ordifferent parts of a parse tree. The different views often contain complementary information, and multi-view learning methods can take advantage of this information to learn representations/features that are useful for understanding the structure of the data and that are beneficial for downstream tasks.

There have been increasing research activities in this direction, including exploration of different objectives (e.g., latent variable models, information bottleneck, contrastive losses, correlation-based objectives, multi-view auto-encoders, and deep restricted Boltzmann machines), deep learning models, the learning/inference problems that come with these models, and theoretical understanding of the methods.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in this area to share their latest results, to express their opinions, and to stimulate future research directions. We expect the workshop to help consolidate the understanding of various approaches proposed by different research groups, to help practitioners find the most appropriate tools for their applications, and to promote better understanding of the challenges in specific applications.
