Call for Papers: Special session on "Theory and Practice of Adaptive
Input Driven Dynamical Systems"

at ESANN-2012
European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational
Intelligence and Machine Learning
http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann/index.php?pg=welcome


Scope:
Various forms of learning machines for processing temporal (or otherwise
structured data) take the form of adaptive input driven dynamical
systems. Examples include wide classes of

    * Recurrent/Recursive Neural Networks,
    * Reservoir Computation models,
    * (extended) Kalman Filers,
    * Input-Output Hidden Markov Models
    * etc.

While many successful applications have proved usefulness of such
models, a consistent theoretical background and a deeper holistic
understanding of issues related to their training, stability and
characterization are still missing.

The aim of the special session is to conceptualize the field of Adaptive
Input Driven Dynamical Systems in the context of recent developments, so
as to enable its further systematic study. We encourage submissions
addressing issues such as (not an exhaustive list):

    * theoretical framework for systematic study and characterization of
input driven non-autonomous dynamical systems
    * stability analysis of systems driven by input streams generated by
specific types if sources (e.g. i.i.d., periodic, finite memory,
stochastic automata etc.)
    * novel applications of Adaptive Input Driven Dynamical Systems
    * learning theory for such systems taking into account complexity
quantifications for input sources etc.
    * novel models of Adaptive Input Driven Dynamical Systems
