CALL FOR PAPERS
The 24th MLSP workshop in the series of workshops organized by the IEEE 
Signal Processing Society MLSP Technical Committee will present the most 
recent and exciting advances in machine learning for signal processing 
through keynote talks, tutorials as well as special and regular 
single-track sessions. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers 
on relevant algorithms and applications including, but not limited to:
   - Learning theory and techniques
   - Graphical models and kernel methods
   - Data-driven adaptive systems and models
   - Pattern recognition and classification
   - Distributed, Bayesian, subspace/manifold and sparsity-aware learning
   - Multiset data analysis and multimodal data fusion
   - Perceptual signal processing in audio, image and video
   - Cognitive information processing
   - Multichannel adaptive and nonlinear signal processing
   - Applications, including: speech and audio, image and video, music, 
biomedical signals and images; communications; bioinformatics; 
biometrics, computational intelligence, genomic signals and sequences; 
social networks; games, and smart grid.


DATA ANALYSIS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING COMPETITION
Data Analysis and Signal Processing Competition is being organized in 
conjunction with the workshop. The goal of the competition is to advance 
the current state-of-the-art in theoretical and practical aspects of 
signal processing domains. The problems are selected to reflect current 
trends, evaluate existing approaches on common benchmarks, and identify 
critical new areas of research. Winners will be announced and awards 
given at the workshop.


BEST STUDENT AWARD
The MLSP Best Student Paper Award will be granted to the best overall 
paper for which a student is the principal author and presenter. This 
author must be a registered student at the time of paper submission to 
be eligible for this award. The award will be presented during the 
conference and consists of a honorarium (to be divided equally between 
all student authors of the paper), and a certificate for each such 
author. The award will be selected by a subcommittee of the program 
committee. The selection is based on the quality, originality, and 
clarity of the submission.


PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are invited to submit a double column paper of up to 
six pages using the electronic submission procedure at 
http://mlsp2014.conwiz.dk/paper_submission.htm
Accepted papers will be published on memory sticks to be distributed at 
the workshop. The presented papers will be published in and indexed by 
IEEE Xplore.
