The 4th Conference on Parsimony and Learning (CPAL) will be held March 23–26, 2027 at Hitotsubashi Hall in Tokyo, focusing on sparsity, low-rank, symmetry, modularity and structured computation in ML, optimization and signal processing.
Key details:
- Abstract deadline Nov 23, 2026; Proceedings deadline Dec 5, 2026 (PMLR); Recent Spotlight deadline Jan 18, 2027
- Explicitly does not require new SOTA or novelty-for-novelty's-sake; values technical soundness and clear insights
- Keynotes include Yuejie Chi (Yale), Kenji Fukumizu (ISM), Yew-Soon Ong (NTU)
Organizers pitch it as a rare small, high-quality alternative to chaotic mega-conferences — timed with cherry blossom season.
