IEEE Machine Learning for Signal Processing Workshop 2021,
25 – 28 October, Gold Coast, Australia

The 31st MLSP workshop in the series of workshops organized by the IEEE Signal Processing Society MLSP Technical Committee will take place in Gold Coast, Australia. If conditions allow, we plan to have a conference running in a hybrid format with a virtual program for attendees that can’t attend the conference and in person attendance for attendees that can attend. The conference will present the most recent and exciting advances in machine learning for signal processing through keynote talks, tutorials, special and regular single-track sessions as well as matchmaking events. The presented papers will be published in and indexed by IEEE Xplore.

All submitted papers are reviewed by experts and only a proportion is accepted maintaining a high quality scientific meeting. The scope of the workshop includes basic theory, methods and algorithms, and applications in the following areas:

Theoretical and application Topics:

  • Learning theory and algorithms
  • Information-theoretic learning
  • Deep learning techniques
  • Distributed/Federated learning
  • Dictionary learning
  • Graphical and kernel methods
  • Learning from multimodal data
  • Independent component analysis
  • Matrix factorizations/completion
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Transfer learning
  • Source separation
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Subspace and manifold learning
  • Sequential learning
  • Self-supervised and semi supervised learning
  • Tensor-based signal processing
  • Sparsity-aware processing
  • Pattern recognition and classification
  • Music and audio processing
  • Applications of machine learning
