[UAI] CISP-BMEI 2015 Deadline 10 May, Shenyang, China [Submitting to IEEE Xplore/ISI/Ei] 2015/4/1 21:03:52 gwpkcyyz
Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming 2015 8th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing (CISP 2015) and the 2015 8th International Conference on BioMedical Engineering and Informatics (BMEI 2015), to be held in Shenyang, China, 14-16 October 2015. Shenyang, the largest city in Northeast China, has a celebrated history dating back to the Warring States of 476 BC. It is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and has many cultural relics which symbolize the prosperity and subsequent decline of the last feudal dynasty in China. Shenyang has one of China's two best preserved imperial palace complexes, along with the famous Zhaoling Tomb and Fuling Tomb. Shenyang is also renowned for its mouth-watering local food. As with past CISP-BMEI conferences, all papers in conference proceedings will be submitted to both EI Compendex and ISTP, as well as IEEE Xplore. Substantially extended versions of best papers will be considered for publication in a CISP-BMEI special issue of a SCI-indexed journal. CISP-BMEI 2015 is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of multimedia, signal processing, biomedical engineering and informatics. The registration fee of US*D420 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions. To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China’s mainland), researchers outside of China’s mainland are encouraged to propose invited sessions. The first author of each paper in an invited session must not be affiliated with an organization in China’s mainland. All papers in the invited sessions can be marked as Invited Paper. The organizer(s) for each invited session with at least 6 registered papers will jointly enjoy an honorarium of US*D 400. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. Invited session organizers will be able to set their own submission and review schedules, as long as a list of recommended papers is determined by 18 August 2015. Each invited session proposal should include: (1) the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of the invited session; (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session.

[UAI] CFP: ICML Workshop on Advances in Active Learning (Fri, July 10 in Lille, France)

A variety of algorithms and sampling paradigms have been proposed and studied, but roughly speaking, this line of research focuses on how to make feedback driven decisions about data collection, and how to leverage this power for efficient learning. Research in this area stems from a range of communities including signal processing, machine learning, statistics, and information theory, including both theoreticians and practitioners. One aim of this workshop is to bring this diverse collection of researchers together. Despite attention from both theoreticians and practitioners, there remains a glaring disconnect between the two lines of research, and the other aim of this workshop is to find concrete directions toward bridging this divide. Many of the algorithms with strong statistical guarantees either make strong modeling assumptions or suffer from computational inefficiencies while many algorithms achieving empirical successes are less amenable to theoretical analysis. By bringing both theoreticians and practitioners together, we hope to identify future research directions that address this disconnect. We are looking for *contributed talks/posters* on interactive learning defined broadly, including but not limited to: 1. Robust interactive learning procedures. 2. Computationally efficient interactive learning algorithms. 3. Empirical success stories of interactive learning algorithms. 4. New interactive models (for eg: crowdsourcing). 5. Connections between active, online, reinforcement and other sequential learning models. We hope to make concrete progress toward bridging the gap between theory and practice in active learning. *Dual Submission Policy*: Our workshop will *not* have published proceedings and workshop papers are intended for discussion rather than formal peer-review. Hence, we invite short versions of papers published at (or submitted to) other recent conferences. However, we must be informed about all such dual submissions. *Submission Instructions* - Email as attachment to icmlalworks...@gmail.com, with subject as ICML-ALW followed by the title of your paper (to update the paper, reply to the same email with the updated attachment) - The final date for submissions is May 1, 2015 (11:59pm UTC). - Page limit: 4 pages (without references) - Please use the ICML 2015 submission format http://icml.cc/2015/?page_id=151 - The submission need not be anonymized -- Aaditya, Akshay, Aarti, Nina icmlalworks...@gmail.com https://sites.google.com/site/icmlalworkshop/ ___ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
