- Neural networks and deep learning
- Bayesian Learning and modeling
- Sequential learning; sequential decision methods
- Information-theoretic learning
- Graphical and kernel models
- Bounds on performance
- Source separation and independent component analysis
- Signal detection, pattern recognition and classification
- Tensor and structured matrix methods
- Machine learning for big data
- Large scale learning
- Dictionary learning, subspace and manifold learning
- Semi-supervised and unsupervised learning
- Active and reinforcement learning
- Learning from multimodal data
- Resource efficient machine learning
- Cognitive information processing
- Bioinformatics applications
- Biomedical applications and neural engineering
- Speech and audio processing applications
- Image and video processing applications
- Intelligent multimedia and web processing
- Communications applications
- Other applications including social networks, games, smart grid,
security and privacy

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 SESSIONS
Special Sessions will be included to 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.

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.
