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 23rd–26th, 2026
We are pleased to announce the Third Conference on Parsimony and Learning, to be hosted by the ELLIS Institute Tübingen, in conjunction with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the Tübingen AI Center.
All CPAL attendees are required to register. See the registration page for details about available tickets and costs.
