CALL FOR OPEN PROBLEMS
COLT 2007 will include a session devoted to the presentation of open
problems. A description of these problems will also appear in the COLT
proceedings. The write-up of an open problem should include the following:
- A clear, self-contained description of an open problem;
- Motivation for the study of this problem;
- The current state of understanding for this problem,
including known partial solutions and citations of related published work.
This year we also encourage people to propose descriptions of new interesting
research directions in areas that are currently outside the scope of COLT, such as
bioinformatics, privacy and security, and vision, to name a few. Ideally, your
open problems or research directions should include well-defined mathematical
questions, nontrivial, and explainable without requiring too much specialized
background knowledge in a 5-10 minutes talk. A reward for solving an open
problem is encouraged but not required.
Format and submission details are as follows: The open problems should be
1-2 pages long in the COLT proceedings format. Please submit them electronically to
colt2007problems@gmail.com
with subject line "open problem for colt2007. The
submissions, in ps or pdf, should be attached
to the email.
Deadline: February 15, 2007
OPEN PROBLEMS CHAIRS:
Nicolo' Cesa-Bianchi
