CONFERENCE TOPICS:

Machine learning in signal processing 2011 is concerned with
all aspects of machine learning for signal prrocessing including,
but not limited to:

Algorithms & Architectures:
Machine learning and statistical signal processing; typical
approaches and modern implementations of supervised,
unsupervised, reinforcement and semi-supervised learning,
probabilistic modeling and kernel methods; artificial neural
networks, advanced (adaptive, nonlinear) signal processing.

Applications:
Speech processing, image processing (computervision), pattern
recognition, medical imaging, multimodal interactions, intelligent
multimedia and webprocessing, robotics, sonar and radar, biomedical
engineering, timeseries prediction, blind source separation,
data fusion and mining.

Implementations:
Parallel and distributed implementations, hardware design and
implementations for real-time processing requirements.


DATA COMPETITION:

A data and signal analysis competition related to face recognition
is being organized. Winners will present their works and receive
their award during the Workshop. For more information see
http://mlsp2011.conwiz.dk.


PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

Authors are invited to submit a double column paper of up to six
pages using the electronic submission procedure described at
http://mlsp2011.conwiz.dk. Accepted papers will be published by
IEEE and electronic proceedings.


SPONSORS: MLSP 2011 is supported by IEEE, by the IEEE Signal
Processing Society, by Intel, and by Dolby.
