Connectionists: Call for Contributions: NIPS 2009 Workshop on Temporal Segmentation

[arthur gretton]

Call for NIPS 2009 Workshop on "Temporal Segmentation: perspectives
from statistics, machine learning, and signal processing."

Submissions are solicited for the workshop to be held on December
11th/ 12th 2009 at this year's NIPS workshop session in Whistler,
Canada. The workshop will focus on temporal segmentation of signals.
This encompasses retrospective multiple change-point estimation,
online change-point detection, as well as anomaly detection and fault
isolation. The workshop is meant to be broadly interdisciplinary,
representing an opportunity to cross-fertilize ideas from different
backgrounds and to explore current open topics in temporal
segmentation.

Submissions are not constrained regarding the applications in which
temporal segmentation is of interest: these can include speaker/audio
processing, financial time series, video, motion capture,
bioinformatics, network intrusion detection, etc. Presentations on
closely related topics such as sequential decision making, temporal
classification, structured prediction with temporal/spatial
constraints, are also encouraged. Submissions may focus on
theoretical, methodological, and computational aspects of temporal
segmentation.

Accepted submissions will be presented either as talks or during the
workshop poster session, depending on the proposals.  The deadline for
submission will be October 23th 2009 and notifications will be sent
out by November 2nd 2009.  The submission should be at most four pages
long in NIPS format, and should be sent to
"temposegment.nips09 at gmail.com".

The program committee consists of the workshop organizers and the
invited speakers. Current workshop information including the list of
invited speakers together with a preliminary schedule may be found at:
