Deadline for Paper Submissions: June 8, 2007
Submissions are solicited for the Twenty-First Annual meeting of an
interdisciplinary Conference (December 3-6) which brings together
researchers interested in all aspects of neural and statistical processing
and computation. The Conference will include invited talks as well as oral
and poster presentations of refereed papers. It is single track and highly
selective. Preceding the main Conference will be one day of Tutorials
(December 3), and following it will be two days of Workshops at
Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort (December 7-8).
Invited Speakers: To be announced.
Tutorial Speakers: To be announced.
Submissions: Papers are solicited in all areas of neural information
processing and statistical learning, including (but not limited to) the
following:
· Algorithms and Architectures: statistical learning algorithms,
neural networks, kernel methods, graphical models, Gaussian processes, 数据挖掘研究院
dimensionality reduction and manifold learning, model selection,
combinatorial optimization.
· Applications: innovative applications or fielded systems that use
machine learning, including systems for time series prediction,
bioinformatics, text/web analysis, multimedia processing, and
robotics.
· Brain Imaging: neuroimaging, cognitive neuroscience, EEG
(electroencephalogram), ERP (event related potentials), MEG
(magnetoencephalogram), fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging),
brain mapping, brain segmentation, brain computer interfaces.
· Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence: theoretical,
computational, or experimental studies of perception, psychophysics,
human or animal learning, memory, reasoning, problem solving, natural
language processing, and neuropsychology.
· Control and Reinforcement Learning: decision and control,
exploration, planning, navigation, Markov decision processes,
game-playing, multi-agent coordination, computational models of
classical and operant conditioning.
· Hardware Technologies: analog and digital VLSI, neuromorphic
engineering, computational sensors and actuators, microrobotics,
bioMEMS, neural prostheses, photonics, molecular and quantum
computing.
· Learning Theory: generalization, regularization and model selection,
Bayesian learning, spaces of functions and kernels, statistical
physics of learning, online learning and competitive analysis,
hardness of learning and approximations, large deviations and
asymptotic analysis, information theory.
· Neuroscience: theoretical and experimental studies of processing and
transmission of information in biological neurons and networks,
including spike train generation, synaptic modulation, plasticity and
adaptation.
· Speech and Signal Processing: recognition, coding, synthesis,
denoising, segmentation, source separation, auditory perception,
psychoacoustics, dynamical systems, recurrent networks, Language
Models, Dynamic and Temporal models.
· Visual Processing: biological and machine vision, image processing
and coding, segmentation, object detection and recognition, motion
detection and tracking, visual psychophysics, visual scene analysis
and interpretation.
Review Criteria: As in the last year, NIPS submissions will be reviewed
double-blind: the reviewers will not know the identities of the authors.
Submissions will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty, 数据挖掘研究院
potential impact on the field, and clarity. There will be an opportunity
after the meeting to revise accepted manuscripts. We particularly encourage
submissions by authors new to NIPS, as well as application papers that
combine concrete results on novel or previously unachievable applications
with analysis of the underlying difficulty from a machine learning
perspective.
Submission Instructions: NIPS accepts only electronic submissions at
http://nips2007.confmaster.net
These submissions must be in PDF format. The Conference web site will accept
electronic submissions until midnight June 8, 2007, Pacific daylight time.
Demonstrations: There is a separate Demonstration track at NIPS. Authors
wishing to submit to the Demonstration track should consult the Conference
web site.
