Connectionists: LVA/ICA 2018, July 2-6: Call for Participation: 14th International Conference on Latent Variable Analysis and Signal Separation

[m.plumbley at surrey.ac.uk]

Dear Connectionists,

We are happy to announce that the program for the 14th International
Conference on Latent Variable Analysis and Signal Separation (LVA/ICA
2018) is now available at:
http://cvssp.org/events/lva-ica-2018/program/

LVA/ICA 2018 will be the held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK
from July 2-6, 2018.

The programme features a wide range of oral and poster presentations on
topics related to latent variable analysis and source separation,
including Matrix and Tensor Factorizations, Deep Learning and
Data-driven Methods, ICA Methods, Nonlinear Mixtures, Sparsity-Related
Methods, Bayesian Approaches, Audio Data and Methods, and Biomedical Data
and Methods. 

We are looking forward to inspiring keynote talks from Tuomas Virtanen
(Laboratory of Signal Processing, Tampere University of Technology,
Finland), Orly Alter (Scientific Computing & Imaging Institute/Huntsman
Cancer Institute, University of Utah, USA) and Andrzej Cichocki (Brain
Science Institute, Riken, Japan).

The conference will also feature special sessions on Structured Tensor 
Decompositions and Applications, and Advances in Phase Retrieval and 
Applications, plus the results of the SiSEC 2018 Signal Separation 
Evaluation Campaign.

The conference will be preceded by a 1-day Summer School with tutorials
by Evrim Acar (Simula Research Laboratory, Lysaker, Norway) on Tensor
Factorizations, Data Fusion & Applications, and Richard Turner
(Computational & Biological Learning Lab, University of Cambridge, UK)
on Bayesian Inference and Deep Learning, and from Russell Mason, Ryan
Chungeun Kim and Dominic Ward on Evaluation of Musical Audio Source
Separation.

For interested delegates, the conference is followed by an Audio Day,
featuring talks, posters and demos on audio-related projects.

For information on how to register and accommodation options, see
http://cvssp.org/events/lva-ica-2018/registration/ 

Early registration is available until 31 May 2018.

We look forward to welcoming you to Surrey!

Best wishes,

Mark Plumbley
