[visionlist] IEEE JSTSP Special Issue on Compact Deep Neural Networks with Industrial Applications

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing Special Issue on
Compact Deep Neural Networks with Industrial Applications
https://ift.tt/2Uazrwf

Artificial neural networks have been adopted for a broad range of
tasks in areas like multimedia analysis and processing, media coding,
data analytics, etc. Their recent success is based on the feasibility
of processing much larger and complex deep neural networks (DNNs) than
in the past, and the availability of large-scale training data sets.
As a consequence, the large memory footprint of trained neural
networks and the high computational complexity of performing inference
cannot be neglected. Many applications require the deployment of a
particular trained network instance, potentially to a larger number of
devices, which may have limitations in terms of processing power and
memory e.g., for mobile devices or Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
For such applications, compact representations of neural networks are
of increasing relevance.

This special issue aims to feature recent work related to techniques
and applications of compact and efficient neural network
representations. It is expected that these works will be of interest
to both academic researchers and industrial practitioners, in the
fields of machine learning, computer vision and pattern recognition,
media data processing, as well as fields such as AI hardware design
etc. In spite of active research in the area, there are still open
questions to be clarified concerning, for example, how to train neural
networks with optimal performance while achieving compact
representations, and how to achieve representations that do not only
allow for compact transmission, but also for efficient inference.

This special issue therefore solicits original and innovative works to
address these open questions in, but not limited to, following topics:
● Sparsification, binarization, quantization, pruning, thresholding
and coding of neural networks
● Efficient computation and acceleration of deep convolutional neural networks
● Deep neural network computation for low power consumption applications
● Exchange formats and industrial standardization of compact &
efficient neural networks
● Applications e.g. video & media compression methods using compressed DNNs
● Performance evaluation and benchmarking of compressed DNNs

Prospective authors should follow the instructions given on the IEEE
JSTSP webpage: https://ift.tt/2JCxkNO,
and submit their manuscript through the web submission system at:
https://ift.tt/YHx6Zd.

[visionlist] Call for Papers: Joint Workshop on On-Device Machine Learning & Compact Deep Neural Network Representations (ODML-CDNNR)

Call for Papers: Joint Workshop on On-Device Machine Learning &
Compact Deep Neural Network Representations (ODML-CDNNR)

This joint workshop aims to bring together researchers, educators,
practitioners who are interested in techniques as well as applications
of on-device machine learning and compact, efficient neural network
representations. One aim of the workshop discussion is to establish
close connection between researchers in the machine learning community
and engineers in industry, and to benefit both academic researchers as
well as industrial practitioners. The other aim is the evaluation and
comparability of resource-efficient machine learning methods and
compact and efficient network representations, and their relation to
particular target platforms (some of which may be highly optimized for
neural network inference). The research community has still to develop
established evaluation procedures and metrics.

The workshop also aims at reproducibility and comparability of methods
for compact and efficient neural network representations, and
on-device machine learning. Contributors are thus encouraged to make
their code available.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
. Model compression for efficient inference with deep networks and
other ML models
. Learning efficient deep neural networks under memory and compute
constraints for on-device applications
. Low-precision training/inference & acceleration of deep neural
networks on mobile devices
. Sparsification, binarization, quantization, pruning, thresholding
and coding of neural network
. Deep neural network computation for low power consumption applications
. Efficient on-device ML for real-time applications in computer
vision, language understanding, speech processing, mobile health and
automotive (e.g., . computer vision for self-driving cars, video and
image compression), multimodal learning
. Software libraries (including open-source) optimized for efficient
inference and on-device ML
. Open datasets and test environments for benchmarking inference with
efficient DNN representations
. Metrics for evaluating the performance of efficient DNN representations
. Methods for comparing efficient DNN inference across platforms and tasks

[visionlist] VSAC 2019 in Leuven: call for submissions

[visionlist] Why publish in the Journal of Perceptual Imaging?

We are delighted to invite you to submit your work to the new Journal of Perceptual Imaging (JPI).   JPI is an open-access, online publication, devoted to applied and fundamental research at the intersection of imaging and human vision, perception and cognition.

The journal focuses on perceptual and cognitive approaches to a wide range of  imaging applications and technologies, and welcomes experimental, computational, theoretical,  and survey papers. The goal is to be a source for multidisciplinary papers at the intersection of  perception, imaging. and art, and for papers that are considered to be outside the scope of more narrowly-focused journals.  

The inaugural issue has recently been published.  These papers explore human spatial/temporal perception, computational photography, image quality models and applications, augmented reality, and color enhancement for color deficient users.  A flyer about JPI and this first issue is attached below.

Why publish in JPI?  

Your research is at the intersection of imaging and  human vision, perception, or cognition

You’re looking for an open source journal

You want your work to be reviewed by multidisciplinary experts

You want to publish your work in a peer-reviewed journal and also present it at HVEI or one of the other IS&T conferences

You have presented a paper at a conference (e.g., HVEI, VSS, ECVP) and want to expand it into a full-length journal article

You want your paper to be read by an audience interested a wide range of topics related to human perception and cognition.

Click here to submit your manuscript to JPI.

Please send your comments or questions to us at: jpieditors@imaging.org

Looking forward to hearing from you!
