Dear List,

====================================

== LVA/ICA 2018 - CALL FOR PAPERS ==

14th International Conference on
Latent Variable Analysis and Signal Separation

July 2-6, 2018
University of Surrey, Guildford, UK
http://cvssp.org/events/lva-ica-2018

Paper submission deadline: January 15, 2018

====================================


The International Conference on Latent Variable Analysis and Signal
Separation, LVA/ICA 2018, is an interdisciplinary forum where researchers
and practitioners can experience a broad range of exciting theories and
applications involving signal processing, applied statistics, machine
learning, linear and multilinear algebra, numerical analysis and
optimization, and other areas targeting Latent Variable Analysis problems.

We are pleased to invite you to submit research papers to the 14th LVA/ICA
which will be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK, from the 2nd
to the 6th of July, 2018. The conference is organized by the Centre for
Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP); and the Institute of Sound
Recording (IoSR).

The proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS).


== Topics ==

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers (8-10 pages in
LNCS format) in areas related to latent variable analysis, independent
component analysis and signal separation, including but not limited to:

- Theory:
    * sparse coding, dictionary learning
    * statistical and probabilistic modeling
    * detection, estimation and performance criteria and bounds
    * causality measures
    * learning theory
    * convex/nonconvex optimization tools
    * sketching and censoring for large scale data

- Models:
    * general linear or nonlinear models of signals and data
    * discrete, continuous, flat, or hierarchical models
    * multilinear models
    * time-varying, instantaneous, convolutive, noiseless, noisy,
      over-complete, or under-complete mixtures
    * Low-rank models, graph models, online models

- Algorithms:
    * estimation, separation, identification, detection, blind and
      semi-blind methods, non-negative matrix factorization, tensor
      decomposition, adaptive and recursive estimation
    * feature selection
    * time-frequency and wavelet based analysis
    * complexity analysis
    * Non-conventional signals (e.g. graph signals, quantum sources)

- Applications:
    * speech and audio separation, recognition, dereverberation and
      denoising
    * auditory scene analysis
    * image segmentation, separation, fusion, classification, texture
      analysis
    * biomedical signal analysis, imaging, genomic data analysis,
      brain-computer interface

- Emerging related topics:
    * sparse learning
    * deep learning
    * social networks
    * data mining
    * artificial intelligence
    * objective and subjective performance evaluation
