Empowering Women in Machine Learning: Amplifying Achievements, Elevating Voices, Building Leaders, and Bridging Gaps to enhance the experience of women in machine learning. 17th Women in Machine Learning Workshop (WiML 2022) The Workshop is co-located with NeurIPS on Monday, November 28th, 2022 at the New Orleans Convention Center in Louisiana, USA. Speakers Logistics Program Call for Participation Committee FAQ Code Of Conduct Machine learning is one of the fastest growing areas of computer science research. Search engines, text mining, social media analytics, face recognition, DNA sequence analysis, speech and handwriting recognition, healthcare analytics are just some of the applications in which machine learning is routinely used. In spite of the wide reach of machine learning and the variety of theory and applications, it covers, the percentage of female researchers is lower than in many other areas of computer science. Most women working in machine learning rarely get the chance to interact with other female researchers, making it easy to feel isolated and hard to find role models. The annual Women in Machine Learning Workshop is the flagship event of Women in Machine Learning. This technical workshop gives female faculty, research scientists, and graduate students in the machine learning community an opportunity to meet, network and exchange ideas, participate in career-focused panel discussions with senior women in industry and academia and learn from each other. Underrepresented minorities and undergraduates interested in machine learning research are encouraged to attend. We welcome all genders; however, any formal presentations, i.e. talks and posters, are given by women. We strive to create an atmosphere in which participants feel comfortable to engage in technical and career-related conversations. Now in its 17th year, the 2022 workshop is co-located in-person with NeurIPS 2022 at New Orleans in Louisiana. Besides this annual workshop, Women in Machine Learning also organizes events such as lunch at ICML and AAAI conferences, maintains a public directory of women active in ML, profiles the research of women in ML, and maintains a list of resources for women working in ML. Invited Speakers Location The in-person workshop will be co-located with NeurIPS in New Orleans, Louisiana on Monday, November 28th, 2022 . Poster Dimensions In person event: Please pay attention to the dimensions of your posters. Workshop posters should be printed on thin paper, not laminated and no larger than 24 inches wide x 36 inches high. See more info regarding workshop poster dimensions here . Virtual event: (details coming soon) Childcare NeurIPS is kindly providing free onsite childcare to participants this year. Registration to the NeurIPS conference is required to participate in this year's WiML workshop. For more information on how to register for the childcare service, please visit the NeurIPS website.

Check out the FAQs or reach us at workshop[at]wimlworkshop[dot]org PLATINUM SPONSORS GOLD SPONSORS SILVER SPONSORS BRONZE SPONSORS SUPPORTERS Committee ORGANIZERS Code of Conduct The open exchange of ideas, the freedom of thought and expression, and respectful scientific debate are central to the goals of Women in Machine Learning, Inc. (“WiML”) activities; this requires a community and an environment that recognizes and respects the inherent worth of every person. The purpose of this Code of Conduct (CoC) is to outline expected standards of behavior during WiML activities. Scope This CoC applies to all WiML activities, including but not limited to: Events organized, hosted, co-branded, or in cooperation with WiML Submissions and reviewing processes run by WiML. Communications are sent through communication channels associated with WiML, including but not limited to social media. Meetings and discussions associated with WiML activities. If an activity is in cooperation with another organization, if the other organization has its own CoC, the union of both CoCs apply. Responsibility All attendees, speakers, mentors, panelists, area chairs, reviewers, sponsors, contractors, organizers, volunteers, members of the WiML Board of Directors and Senior Advisory Council (referred to as “Participants” collectively throughout this document) involved in WiML activities as described above are required to comply with this CoC. Reviews should actively avoid subtle discrimination, however inadvertent. In particular, reviewers should avoid comments in reviews about English style or grammar that may be interpreted as implying that the author is “foreign” or “non-native”. Sponsors are equally subject to this CoC. In particular, sponsors should not use images, activities, or other materials that reinforce gender stereotypes or are of a sexual, racial, or otherwise offensive nature at WiML events. Booth staff, including but not limited to volunteers, should not create a sexualized environment. Unacceptable Behavior WiML is dedicated to providing an experience for all participants that is free from harassment, bullying, discrimination, and retaliation. This includes offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), politics, technology choices, or any other personal characteristics or considerations made unlawful by federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, or regulations. Inappropriate or unprofessional behavior that interferes with another participant’s full participation will not be tolerated. This includes bullying, intimidation, personal attacks, harassment, sustained disruption of talks or other events, sexual harassment, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, unwelcome sexual attention, public vulgar exchanges, derogatory name-calling, or diminutive characterizations, all of which are unwelcome in this community. Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior, is also considered harassment. No use of images, activities or other materials that are of a sexual, racial, or otherwise offensive nature that may create an inappropriate or toxic environment is permitted. Disorderly, boisterous, or disruptive conduct including but not limited to fighting, coercion, theft, damage to property, or any mistreatment or non-businesslike behavior towards other participants is not tolerated. Scientific misconduct—including but not limited to fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism of paper submissions or research presentations—is prohibited. Reporting If you have concerns related to your participation or interaction at a WiML activity, observe someone else’s difficulties, or have any other concerns you wish to share, you can make a report: Anytime: By email at wiml.code.of.conduct@gmail.com ‬ During an event: In-person to organizers, volunteers, or any member of the WiML Board of Directors. They will then direct you to the designated responder(s) for that event. Organizers and volunteers can be identified by special badges marked as “ORGANIZER” or “VOLUNTEER”. Members of the WiML Board of Directors can be identified by special badges marked as “WiML Board”. There is no deadline by which to make a report. If the person receiving your report is not the designated responder for that event, they will direct you to a designated responder and/or provide you immediate medical or security help and assist you to feel safe for the duration of the activity. Designated responders will follow WiML procedures to respond to and investigate your report. Enforcement Any participant asked by any member of the community to stop any unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. A response of “just joking” will not be accepted; behavior can be harassing without an intent to offend. If a participant engages in behavior that violates this CoC, WiML retains the right to take any action deemed appropriate, including but not limited to: Formal or informal warnings Barring or limiting continued attendance and participation, including but not limited to expulsion from the event Barring from participating in or deriving benefits from future WiML activities Exclusion from WiML opportunities, e.g. leadership, organizing, volunteering, speaking, reviewing, sponsoring, etc. Reporting the incident to the offender’s local institution or funding agencies Reporting the incident to local law enforcement The same actions may be taken toward any individual who engages in retaliation or who knowingly makes a false allegation of harassment. If action is taken, an appeals process will be made available. Investigation Reports of violations will be handled at the discretion of the WiML Board of Directors, who will investigate reports and bring the issue to resolution. Reports made during the activity will be responded to within 24 hours; reports made at other times will be responded to in less than five weeks. All reports will be handled as confidentially as possible and information will be disclosed only as it is necessary to complete the investigation and bring to resolution. There may be situations (such as those involving Title IX issues in the United States and venue- or employer-specific policies) where the member of the WiML Board of Directors informed of the violation will be under an obligation to file a report with another individual or organization outside of WiML. Ongoing Review The WiML Board of Directors welcomes feedback from the community on this CoC policy and procedures; please contact us by email at info@wimlworkshop.org . Acknowledgments This CoC policy was written by adapting the wording and structure from other CoC policies and procedures by Geek Feminism Wiki (created by the Ada Initiative), NeurIPS , ACM , Montreal AI Symposium , and Deep Learning Indaba .

Hanna Wallach, Jennifer Wortman Vaughan, Lisa Wainer, and Angela Yu shared a room at NIPS 2005. Late one night, they talked about how exciting it was that there were FOUR female students at NIPS that year. They tried to list all the women in machine learning they know of and got to 10, then started talking about creating a meeting or gathering for all these women and perhaps others that they didn’t know about. Jenn, Lisa, and Hanna put together a proposal for a session at the 2006 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing that would feature talks and posters by female researchers and students in machine learning. The 1st WiML workshop was co-located with the 2006 Grace Hopper Celeberation. In 2008, WiML Workshop moved to NIPS (renamed NeurIPS in 2018) and there has been a WiML Workshop at NeurIPS every year since. In 2020, WiML introduced an “un-workshop” at ICML based on the concept of an “un-conference”, a form of discussion on a pre-selected topic that is primarily driven by participants. Read more WiML history here ! What are the mentorship roundtables? Each table seats 8-10 people (including mentors), with two mentors leading the discussion on a particular topic at each table. WiML attendees rotate between tables every 15-20 minutes. This allows attendees to gain exposure to different topics, and mentors to meet a large number of WiML attendees. Is WiML an archival venue? No, WiML is a non-archival venue. This means that, if your contribution is accepted, we will not be asking you to submit a camera-ready version of it, nor will we publish it anywhere (neither online nor in proceedings of any sort). We will only make the title and authors’ names available in the program book. I have a question that isn't answered here. How do I reach you? We receive a lot of email. Help us help you by reaching out through the appropriate channels. Job posting, announcement, CFP, etc: Post directly to WiML mailing list . Have event pictures to share: post on Twitter and tag @wimlworkshop Workshop enquiries: workshop@wimlworkshop.org If you are a company interested in sponsoring WiML: sponsorship@wimlworkshop.org Any other enquiries: info@wimlworkshop.org If you email us, don’t cc multiple email addresses — this saves us time routing your email to one mailbox, and reduces the chances of your email getting lost.
