Special Session on Neural Networks for Signal Processing

ISIS'97- International Symposium on Intelligent Systems

---------

	Signal processing problems, with their particular features and
challenges, have provided an important field of  application for artificial 
neural networks (ANNs). The non-linear processing and classification
capabilities of these networks, in fact, can be very useful in many DSP
applications. However, to provide robust, efficient and reliable NN
solutions to many real-world problems, new and original ideas should be
found to overcome nowadays limitations.
	This special session, organized within ISIS'97, wants to provide an
open forum for researchers in this field to present and discuss new and
promising results on the theory and application of artificial neural
networks for signal processing.

Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following topics:
>>>Paradigms: artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation,
	nonlinear signal processing, robust fitting, classification and 
	learning, statistical properties of ANNs, complexity issues.

>>>Application areas: speech processing, speech enhancement, space-time
	processing, adaptive filtering, channel equalization and 
	predistortion, robotics, system identification and control, time series 
	prediction, temporal pattern recognition.

>>>Theories: generalization, design algorithms, optimization, learning,
	neural architectures for signal processing, dynamic recurrent neural
	networks, locally recurrent neural networks, IIR synapses neural networks,
	Time Delay Neural Networks, fast learning algorithms, on-line training
	algorithms, on-line clustering, and identification/rejection of outliers.

>>>Implementations: parallel and distributed implementation, hardware
	design, other implementation technologies.

	The International Symposium on Intelligent Systems will be held in Reggio
Calabria (Italy) in the center of the Mediterranean sea, from September 11
to September 13, 1997. This 2+1/2 days interdisciplinary symposium aims to
be an international forum for advanced studies in Neural Networks, Fuzzy
Systems and related intelligent technologies, with special concern for
analysis and synthesis of systems which have to make decisions in an
environment of uncertainty and imprecision. This Conference follows up the
series of International Symposia organized by AMSE in Istanbul (1988),
Brighton (1989), Cetinje (1990), Warsaw (1991), Geneva (1992), London
(1993), Lyon (1994), Brno (1995) and Leon (1996).
