iTWIST'16, International Traveling Workshop on Interactions Between Sparse Models and Technology, Aalborg, Denmark 24th-26th of August 2016

 Thomas posted this announcement on the G+ group: (I was surprised the word Hardware did not get to be mentioned for a meeting featuring how CS is crossing over to technology. I am sure this oversight will be addressed (wink-wink people).

International Traveling Workshop on Interactions Between Sparse Models and Technology

The aim of the iTWIST workshop is to foster collaboration between international scientific teams for developing new theories, applications and generalizations of the “sparsity paradigm”. This is why this event emphasizes dissemination of ideas through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions.

For this edition, iTWIST’16 will feature invited talks, oral presentations and posters. The workshop welcomes 2-page paper submissions on any aspects of the following themes:

Themes

• Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing (e.g., optics, computer vision, genomics, biomedical, digital communication, channel estimation, astronomy)
• Application of sparse models in non-convex/non-linear inverse problems (e.g., phase retrieval, blind deconvolution, self calibration)
• Approximate probabilistic inference for sparse problems
• Sparse machine learning and inference
• "Blind" inverse problems and dictionary learning
• Optimization for sparse modelling
• Information theory, geometry and randomness
• Sparsity? What's next?
  • Discrete-valued signals
  • Union of low-dimensional spaces,
  • Cosparsity, mixed/group norm, model-based, low-complexity models, ...
• Matrix/manifold sensing/processing (graph, low-rank approximation, ...)
• Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods/optimization
