Call for Papers

This workshop aims to bring together Australian and overseas researchers in the area of machine learning applied to signal processing. The term "signal" includes audio, video, speech, image, communication, geophysical, sonar, radar, medical, musical, and other signals. The focus of the workshop will be the theories and applications of machine learning to processing of such signals. Machine learning includes a wide variety of approaches including symbolic and statistical machine learning and neural networks and kernel methods.

The workshop will be held together with the International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing, which is organised by The University of Melbourne, sponsored by CENDSS, Melbourne and the CRC for Sensor Signal and Information Processing CSSIP, Melbourne and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. The workshop will feature technical presentations and an invited talk held over one day. Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following areas:

Algorithms and Architectures: Symbolic machine learning techniques including decision trees, inductive logic programming, concept learning, Bayesian learning and Bayesian nets, explanation based learningi, artificial neural networks, kernel methods, committee models, Gaussian processes, independent component analysis, advanced (adaptive, nonlinear) signal processing, (hidden) Markov models, Bayesian modelling, parameter estimation, generalisation, optimisation, design algorithms.

Applications: Speech processing, image processing, digital signal processing, computer vision, optical character recognition, multi-modal interactions, multi-channel processing, intelligent multimedia and web processing and retrieval, 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.

Workshop structure and attendance

The workshop is aimed to be a high communicative meeting place for researchers working on similar topics, but from different communities. In order to achieve these goals, the workshop will consist of one or two invited talks, followed by short presentations and longer discussions. Workshop attendance will be limited to registered participants. The selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Submission Procedure

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers, up to six pages in length, using electronic submission via the conference web site online paper submission system. Papers will be fully refereed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Visit Author Guidelines Page for author instructions. For more information contact A/Prof. Arcot Sowmya.
