The Conference on Parsimony and Learning (CPAL) is an annual research conference focused on addressing the parsimonious, low dimensional structures that prevail in machine learning, signal processing, optimization, and beyond. We are interested in theories, algorithms, applications, hardware and systems, as well as scientific foundations for learning with parsimony.
Register for CPAL: March 24th–27th, 2025
We are pleased to announce the Second Conference on Parsimony and Learning, to be held in concert with Stanford Data Science at Stanford University in California, USA!
All CPAL attendees are required to register. See the registration page for details about available tickets and costs.
