CALL FOR PAPERS
The 27th 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:

- Bayesian learning and signal processing
- Cognitive information processing
- Deep learning techniques
- Dictionary learning
- Graphical and kernel methods
- Independent component analysis
- Information-theoretic learning
- Learning theory and algorithms
- Pattern recognition and classification
- Bounds on performance
- Subspace and manifold learning
- Sequential learning and decision methods
- Source separation
- Tensor and structured matrix methods
- Machine learning from big data
- Scalable learning algorithms
- Applications including: speech, audio & music, image & video, 
biomedical signals & images, communications, bioinformatics, biometrics, 
systems biology, computational intelligence, genomic signals & 
sequences, social networks, games, smart grid, security & privacy

DATA ANALYSIS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING COMPETITION
The competition is 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.

SPECIAL SESSIONS
MLSP 2017 will include Special Sessions that address research in 
emerging or interdisciplinary areas of particular interest, not covered 
already by traditional MLSP sessions.

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
The MLSP Best Student Paper Award will be granted to the best paper for 
which a student is the principal author and presenter.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are invited to submit a double column paper of up to 
six pages using the electronic submission procedure at 
http://mlsp2017.conwiz.dk. Accepted papers will be published on a 
password-protected website that will be available during the workshop. 
The presented papers will be published in and indexed by IEEE Xplore.
