[Apologies for cross-postings]

Dear colleagues,

Registrations are now open for the LVA/ICA conference on Latent Variable Analysis and Signal Separation (http://lva2010.inria.fr/). LVA will held on September 27-30 in the Palais du Grand Large, in the ancient city of Saint-Malo, a picturesque sea resort located in Brittany, in the north-west of France.

Note that the IEEE MMSP conference on Multimedia Signal Processing will be held at the same place on October 4-6, 2010, just a few days after the LVA/ICA conference. This offers a good opportunity to visit Brittany and its beautiful natural landscape and architectural heritage between the two conferences!

LVA will also feature a special Late-breaking / demo session for which submissions are open until July 31st, 2010.
