# THE 6TH SYMPOSIUM ON CONFORMAL AND PROBABILISTIC PREDICTION WITH APPLICATIONS (COPA 2017)

## Proceedings Information

All accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published by the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR). The conference proceedings can now be found online at PMLR (volume 60).

### Instructions for the Authors of Accepted Papers

Please make sure to use the correct style file; it should be already installed on your computer, or will be installed "on the fly". The camera-ready papers should follow the style of the Proceedings section of JMLR rather than JMLR itself.

In the end you should submit two files: (1) file containing your paper in the pdf format; (2) copyright form.

The beginning of your file will look like:

\begin{abstract}
This paper applies conformal prediction to derive predictive distributions
that are valid under a nonparametric assumption.
\end{abstract}

\begin{keywords}
Conformal prediction, predictive distributions, regression.

Notice the presence of the command

  \jmlrproceedings{PMLR}{Proceedings of Machine Learning Research}


It has become necessary after the recent rebranding http://proceedings.mlr.press of JMLR W&CP as the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR).

Please let us know if you encounter any problems following these instructions.

For further information (which, however, can be confusing), see http://jmlr.org/proceedings/faq.html (under the heading "What is the Style File for the Proceedings?"); COPA 2017 uses the one column style file. The style file is available from the CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) web site at http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jmlr you can go inside the directory called "sample_papers" and emulate the files jmlr_sample.tex and jmlr_sample.bib (the latter is only needed if you use bibtex).

A lot of useful advice on the JMLR style can be found at http://jmlr.org/format/format.html (however, please make sure to use the Proceedings style, as described above, rather than the main journal style).
