DATA ANALYSIS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING COMPETITION
MLSP2018 seeks proposals for Data Analysis and Signal Processing
Competition. The goal of competition is to advance the current
state-of-the-art in theoretical and practical aspects of signal
processing domains.

SPECIAL SESSION
A call for contributions to the Special Session on Disruptive research in
anti-spoofing for automatic speaker identification is launched in
addition to the 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.

NETWORKING
MLSP Networking will be organized as a new initiative to focus on
stimulating collaboration among participants to solve grand societal
challenges using machine learning and signal processing.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are invited to submit a double column paper of up to
six pages using the electronic submission procedure at
http://mlsp2018.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.
