Call for Special Sessions

Background

Call for Special Sessions

The 36th MLSP workshop invites proposals for Special Sessions on topics that have not been covered in regular MLSP sessions and that have the potential to have a major impact on the field in the near future. Special Session proposals must contain the following information:

  • Title of the proposed Special Session
  • Names, affiliations, and contact information of the session organizers
  • Brief biographies of the session organizers
  • Brief description of the proposed session topic and discussion on why this is a good topic for an MLSP 2025 Special Session (up to 500 words),
  • Example tentative program which could look like the following (this is not an inclusive list, feel free to come up with your own session structure):

    • Example 1: An invited speaker, followed by a poster or oral session
    • Example 2: An oral session, followed by a panel discussion
    • Example 3: A tutorial, followed by posters and oral presentations

    In total, the session should take 2-3 hours. Try to propose names who could potentially join as invited speakers, or panelists.

  • List of six (6) contributing papers (including titles, author names and affiliations, and a short abstract).

The papers in each accepted Special Session will undergo the same review evaluation process of the regular papers submitted to MLSP 2026.

The proposals should be sent to [email protected] with the subject line and body text including “Special Sessions” before the indicated deadline.
