The First Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML 2009) was held at Nanjing, China during November 2–4, 2009. This was the first edition of a series of annual conferences which aim to provide a leading international forum for researchers in machine learning and related fields to share their new ideas and research findings. This year we received 113 submissions from 18 countries and regions in Asia, Australasia, Europe and North America. The submissions went through a rigorous double-blind reviewing process. Most submissions received four reviews, a few submissions received five reviews, while only several submissions received three reviews.
