2002 IEEE Workshop Neural Networks for Signal Processing September 4-6, 2002 Martigny, Valais, Switzerland http://eivind.imm.dtu.dk/nnsp2002 Sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society In cooperation with the IEEE Neural Networks Council Call for Papers Thanks to the sponsorship of IEEE Signal Processing Society and in cooperation with the IEEE Neural Network Council, the twelfth of a series of IEEE workshops on Neural Networks for Signal Processing will be held in Martigny (http://www.martigny.ch), Switzerland, at the ``Centre du Parc'' (http://www.hotelduparc.ch). The workshop will feature keynote addresses, technical presentations and panel discussions. Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following areas: Algorithms and Architectures: Artificial neural networks, kernel methods, committee models, independent component analysis, adaptive and/or nonlinear signal processing, (hidden) Markov models, Bayesian modeling, parameter estimation, generalization, optimization, design algorithms. Applications: Speech processing, image processing (computer vision, OCR), multimodal interactions, multi-channel processing, intelligent multimedia and web processing, robotics, sonar and radar, bio-medical engineering, bio-informatics, financial analysis, time series prediction, blind source separation, data fusion, data mining, adaptive filtering, communications, sensors, system identification, and other signal processing and pattern recognition applications. Implementations: Parallel and distributed implementation, hardware design, and other general implementation technologies.
