Conference on Learning Theory 2014: Call for "Open Problems" submissions (deadline April 10)

COLT 2014 will include a session devoted to the presentation of open
problems. A description of these problems will also appear in the COLT
proceedings.
The deadline for submissions is April 10.

The write-up of an open problem should include:
-- a clearly defined theoretical problem.
-- the motivation for studying the problem, with an argument why it is
important, interesting, and not too easy.
-- the current state of this problem (including any known partial or
conjectured solutions and relevant references).

As last year, we encourage submissions of problems not conventionally in
the scope of COLT, as long as there is a convincing reason to include it
in the conference. You should be able to clearly express the problem in
a short presentation. A monetary reward for solving an open problem is
encouraged but not required.

If you would like to submit a problem, please email it to
colt2014open@gmail.com by April 10, 2014. Submissions should be at most 3
pages long and should be in the COLT'14 JMLR format (pdf or ps).
Submissions should be non-anonymous.
