2004 IEEE Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing Formerly called Neural Networks for Signal Processing Sep. 29 - Oct. 1st, 2004, SC#o LuC-s, Brazil Sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society Call for Papers The fourteenth of a series of IEEE workshops on Machine Learning for Signal Processing will be held in SC#o LuC-s (http://www.turismo.ma.gov.br/en/), Brazil. SC#o LuC-s is located just in between Amazonia and the Northeast coast, and is a World Heritage island. It is the only capital city in Brazil founded by the French. It has a wonderful Portuguese Historical Center, along with exquisite local seafood, and is close to one of the most beautiful deserts in the world: LenC'ois Maranhenses, where pristine water lays lazily distributed among beautiful dunes. This is a continuation of a series of workshops named Neural Networks for Signal Processing (NNSP). The technical committee decided to change the name to better reflect the community scope, and the rapid changes in the field. The workshop will feature keynote addresses, technical presentations, special sessions and tutorials that will be included in the registration. Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following areas: Algorithms and Architectures: Artificial neural networks, kernel methods, committee models, Gaussian processes, independent component analysis, advanced (adaptive, 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, 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.
