The development of new, flexible methods combines advances from many sources, including approximation theory, numerical analysis, machine learning, signal processing and statistics. The proposed workshop intends to bring together eminent experts from these fields in order to exchange ideas and forge directions for the future. It also intends to introduce the research topics to graduate students by providing travel support and by requiring the last speaker of each session to give an overview of the field. It is unique in its singular focus on audio and the array of perception, technology, design and application areas that it currently encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2001 will be a single-track conference.
Attendance is open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.
VLDB2001 challenges prospective authors to consider novel topics and approaches rather than dwelling on the incremental improvements of existing results. This is the fifteenth meeting of an interdisciplinary conference which brings together cognitive scientists, computer scientists, engineers, neuroscientists, physicists, statisticians, and mathematicians interested in all aspects of neural processing and computation. The conference will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. The conference is single track and is highly selective.
