SPARS 2015

Signal Processing with Adaptive Sparse Structured Representations

July 6-9, 2015, Cambridge, UK.

Call for Papers

In addition to 8 plenary lectures and a special lecture by Emmanuel Candes, the workshop features a single track format with 29 standard (20min) talks, 3 highlight (30min) talks, and 3 poster and demo sessions.

Contributions (talks and demos) are solicited in one page abstract in double column SPARS workshop abstract format. Talks should present recent and novel research results and these may include material from papers already submitted to a journal. We specifically welcome abstract submissions for technological demonstrations of the mathematical topics within our scope.

Contributions to the workshop are solicited in or close to the following areas:

  • Sparse coding and representations, vector quantization, and dictionary learning.
  • Sparse and low-rank approximation algorithms: performance and complexity analysis, new methodologies.
  • Compressive sensing and learning: new theory and methods.
  • Feature extraction, classification, detection, and source separation.
  • Sparsity measures in approximation theory, information theory and statistics.
  • Statistical models and algorithms for sparsity, including Bayesian, likelihood-based, entropy and variational Bayes.
  • Sparse network theory and analysis, including dynamic (time-varying) networks and large networks.
  • Applications of sparsity and low-rank ideas to areas such as 'recovery without phase' and inverse covariance estimation.
  • Big data applications, including but not limited to geophysics, neuroscience, biomedical imaging, array processing, genetics, optics and radar, and feedback control.

A best student paper prize will be awarded. Students who wish to be considered for this prize must submit a six page extended summary in single column workshop format as supplementary material. To be eligible, the main contributor of the work must be a student or must have recently graduated from a Ph.D. program (i.e., after SPARS 2013). The supplementary six page summaries will be used to award the prize, and will not be included in the SPARS 2015 proceedings.

Submitted contributions should be of sufficient depth for review by experts in the field.

The submission deadline is January 13, 2015 , at midnight, Greenwich Mean Time. Notification of acceptance will be sent by April 22, 2015.

Detailed information on paper submission is given on the Information for Authors page.
