CPAL 2026
The Conference on Parsimony and Learning
The Conference on Parsimony and Learning (CPAL) is an annual research conference focused on parsimonious, low-dimensional structures in machine learning, signal processing, optimization, and related fields. It brings together researchers to advance theories, algorithms, applications, and systems that promote efficient and interpretable learning.

Policies worth checking twice
- Tutorial proposals must include a title, abstract (up to 250 words), detailed outline with time allocation, target audience description, and presenter bios with time division explanation.
- All presenters are expected to attend in person.
- Tutorial proposals are evaluated based on relevance to parsimonious learning, clarity, educational value, topic maturity, and presenter experience and diversity.
