The Learning workshop, also known as "The Snowbird Workshop", brings together researchers in machine learning, statistics, pattern recognition, vision, graphical models, neural nets, neuroscience, adaptive control, and speech recognition, who are learning to speak a common language, and to appreciate each other's contributions to the understanding of natural and synthetic learning. Attendance is by invitation through recommendations from the committee.

The workshop is the continuation of the highly successful Neural Networks for Computing series held every year in Snowbird since 1986. It is organized by the Computational and Biological Learning Society with the support of the NIPS foundation.
