Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas related to latent variable analysis, independent component analysis and signal separation, including but not limited to:
-Theory: statistical and probabilistic models; detection, estimation and performance criteria and bounds; causality measures; flat, hierarchical and dynamic structures; sparsity-promoting methods; learning theory; optimization tools; -Models: latent variables modeling as parameters, vectors or signals, discrete or continuous; probabilistic or structural modeling; time-varying, memoryless, convolutive, noisy, noiseless, under- and over-complete; -Algorithms: estimation, separation, identification, detection, blind and semi-blind methods, non-negative matrix factorization, tensor decomposition, adaptive and recursive estimation; features selection; time-frequency and wavelets based analysis; complexity analysis; -Applications: speech and audio separation, recognition, dereverberation and denoising; auditory scene analysis; image segmentation, separation, fusion, classification, texture analysis; biomedical signal analysis, imaging, genomic data analysis, brain-computer interface; -Emerging related topics: social networks; data-mining; artificial intelligence; sparse coding; objective and subjective performance evaluation.
The page-limit for all papers is 8 pages (in LNCS format).
LVA/ICA 2012 will also feature a special session devoted to the third Community-Based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (SiSEC 2011). Prospective participants in the campaign are encouraged to submit a paper to LVA/ICA 2012 describing their approach. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. In addition, entrants not wishing to submit a paper will have the opportunity to present a poster about their approach. All posters are welcome, in the limit of available space. In order to present a poster, an abstract should be submitted by Jan. 15, 2012. These abstracts will be linked from the LVA/ICA 2012 web-site, but will not be included in the proceedings.
