CALL FOR PAPERS
Detection and estimation theory have historically been closely
linked
to Information Theory. Analysis of communication systems relies
heavily
on and contributes to advances in detection and estimation theory.
Considerable theoretical and practical advances in this area have
been
made possible by the fostering of ideas from Statistics and Information
Theory. This workshop will complement those activities by seeking
contributions from researchers in signal processing, image processing,
image understanding, pattern recognition, and communication theory,
whose work is heavily influenced by information theoretic considerations.
While novel applications will play important roles, new theoretical
results
are expected to dominate.
The workshop will feature three plenary speakers: Andrew Barron
(Yale),
H. Vincent Poor (Princeton), and Michael I. Miller (Washington
University).
Invited talks and contributed talks will be presented in the following
areas:
Detection Theory
Estimation Theory
Classification
Statistical Imaging
Regularization for Inverse Problems
Random Processes
Inference Based on Compressed Data
Signal Processing Applications of IT
Of particular interest are papers dealing with nonparametric
and robust
methods, methods for non-euclidean spaces, alternating maximization
methods,
high-dimensional inverse problems, and dimensionality reduction.
Authors interested in submitting a contribution should mail four
copies of
a 2-3 page summary to Prof. J. O'Sullivan (address below) by October
9, 1998.
Papers will be presented either as 20-minute talks or as posters.
One-page
abstracts of all papers will appear in the proceedings of the
workshop
and will be posted to the workshop web site prior to the workshop.
The workshop will be held in historic Hotel Loretto, in the
heart of Santa Fe.
Santa Fe possesses a rich Spanish and Native American culture
and is located in the vicinity of excellent ski resorts.
It is expected that a small number of student travel grants to
the workshop
will be available. Detailed information will be included in the
final
call for papers and will be posted to the workshop web site:
