The Workshop

Uniting ML Community for
Health Time-Series

Time-series data underpin modern healthcare, spanning electronic health records, physiological waveforms, wearables, and population trends, yet their unique characteristics—including uncertain ground truth, quasi-periodic physiological motifs, and non-semantic timepoints—demand specialized machine learning approaches.

While recent advances in foundation models, multimodal learning, and generative methods show promise, significant challenges remain in causality, interpretability, and deployment.

The TS4H workshop unites researchers across health time-series domains—from wearables to clinical systems—to address shared challenges through cross-domain discussion, diverse industry and academic perspectives, and community engagement via posters, talks, panels, and mentorship activities.

📝 Submission Instructions

We invite short papers of up to 4 pages, excluding references and appendices. All submissions follow the official NeurIPS '26 formatting guidelines (no checklist needed) and must be fully anonymized for double-blind review.

Submitted work should be original and unpublished, though preprints (e.g. arXiv) are permitted. All accepted papers must be presented in person. This is a non-archival venue with no formal proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "non-archival venue" mean?+

A non-archival venue is one where accepted papers are not formally published in proceedings. This means the work will not appear in a permanent, citable archive.

Can accepted papers be submitted elsewhere?+

Yes! Since our workshop is non-archival, you are free to submit your work elsewhere. We recommend checking the policies of your target journal or conference, as some may have restrictions on prior presentations.

Can I submit a paper withdrawn from a conference main track?+

Absolutely. You are welcome to submit such work to our workshop.

Can I submit the same work to your workshop and another venue?+

Yes, concurrent submissions are allowed. Please ensure that your other target venue's rules permit this.

Can I present work already accepted elsewhere?+

Yes, provided the other venue's policies allow for prior or concurrent presentation at a non-archival workshop. Always confirm with the other venue first.

Should we include the NeurIPS checklist?+

No need to include the checklist for our workshop submission!
