CFP: Managing Complex Computational Challenges

Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering

CALL FOR PAPERS

Managing Complex Computational Challenges

A huge body of methods for making large-scale simulations and analyses are produced, which are more computationally efficient, enabling a wide range of research to be less time- and memory-intensive. The proposed methods and systems can synthesize domains that integrate many concepts from deep learning, machine learning, AI and other computational techniques. Keeping the scientific value while designing computational approaches that leverage increased computational power is essential. Developing one system identifies a few significant features or facets. However, generating a large model uses innumerable parameters and infinite indicators to bring broad models that analyse multidimensional patterns and function as generic with permissible customisation. The future computational system can build newer interfaces with computers on one side, people, technologies, and domains on the other, and produce modalities. Robust techniques with insights create solution spaces with fewer computational complexities.

Advanced big data analytics offer solutions to research questions in many different disciplines. Computational techniques coupled with intelligence are more successful for complex processes in many domains, and the refining activities lead to domain precision. In recent years efficient machine learning models have been recorded that solve many complex issues in other fields.

Many approaches in research currently warrant intensive computational methods and have become more inevitable to solve research questions. Research can generate unique and highly objective scalable solutions to the complexity and understanding of how the different propositions can help product possible systems to solve the tasks with domain knowledge.

Complexity reduction leads to robustness, structured results, higher accuracy, and resolved issues and is mainly achieved by applying computational methods. The proposed special issue will address many agendas codified in the above description and, more specifically, but not limited to the below themes.

Neural models
Spatio-temporal data modelling
DL approaches to analyse patterns
Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory network
Data Transfer Framework
Data security
Data correlational dependencies
Knowledge-driven machine learning
Information and Systems Intelligence
Computational Modelling
Intelligent agent-supported processing
Intelligent control systems
Domain-specific smart models and architectures
Complex data and sparse modelling
Semantics-induced segmentation and clustering
Edge Intelligence

The Conference on Parsimony and Learning (CPAL 2024): Call for Papers & Participation

;word-spacing:0px”> Poster: https://cpal.cc/assets/CFP_CPAL_2024.pdf 

 

Overview

The Conference on Parsimony and Learning (CPAL) is an annual research conference focused on addressing the parsimonious, low dimensional structures that prevail in machine learning, signal processing, optimization, and beyond. We are interested in theories, algorithms, applications, hardware and systems, as well as scientific foundations for learning with parsimony.  We envision the conference as a general scientific forum where researchers in machine learning, applied mathematics, signal processing, optimization, intelligent systems, and all associated science and engineering fields can gather, share insights, and ultimately work towards a common modern theoretical and computational framework for understanding intelligence and science from the perspective of parsimonious learning.

 

See more about the new conference’s vision: https://cpal.cc/vision/ 

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include—but are not limited to—the following subject areas (Detailed: https://cpal.cc/subject_areas/):

 

  • Models and Algorithms: parsimonious training and inference algorithms for deep networks (e.g. based on sparsity, low-rank or so); compact and efficient neural network architecture design; structured model-based deep learning; robustness/interpretability guided by parsimony principles; generative models; distributed and federated learning; efficient neural scaling; other nonlinear dimension reduction methods, etc.
  • Data: modern signal models; dataset parsimony and sparse data formats; representation learning with structured data; etc.
  • Theory: generalization, optimization, robustness, and approximation in deep learning rigorously relating to its implicit parsimony; theories for classical sparse coding and their connections to neural network sparsity; forgetting owing to sparsity; etc.
  • Hardware and Systems: Libraries, kernels, compilers, or customized hardware accelerating sparse computation; resource-efficient learning with co-design; etc.
  • Applications and Science: parsimonious AI for science and engineering; theoretical neuroscience and cognitive science foundations for parsimony; other cross-disciplinary applications; etc.

 

The above is a high-level overview of CPAL's focus and is not intended to be exhaustive. If you are unsure whether your paper is a good fit for the conference, feel free to contact the program chairs via email (pcs@cpal.cc).

 

Submission Tracks

We will have a main proceeding track (archival), and a “recent spotlight” track (non-archival). The OpenReview submission site can be found here: OpenReview-CPAL 2024. Submissions to both tracks are to be prepared using the CPAL LaTeX style files.

 

Proceeding track (archival): The submission and review stage is double-blind. We use OpenReview to host papers and allow for public discussions. Full proceedings papers can have up to nine pages with unlimited pages for references and appendix.

 

“Recent Spotlight” Track (non-archival): Submit a conference-style paper (at most nine pages, with extra pages for references) describing the work. Please also upload a short (250 word) abstract to OpenReview. OpenReview submissions may also include any of the following supplemental materials that describe the work in further detail.

  • A poster (in PDF form) presenting results of work-in-progress.
  • A link to an arXiv preprint or a blog post (e.g., distill.pub, Medium) describing results.
  • Appendices with detailed derivations and additional experiments.

This track is non-archival and has no proceedings. We permit under-review or concurrent submissions, as well as papers officially accepted by a journal or conference within 6 months of the  Submission Deadline for Recent Spotlight Track (this year Oct 10, 2023). Reviewing will be performed in a single-blind fashion (authors should not anonymize their submissions). 

Notable Innovations in Our Review Mechanism: An action PC will shepherd each paper. For every accepted paper, the names of its AC and action PC will be publicly released on its OpenReview page, for accountability. For every rejected paper (excluding withdrawals), only the name of its action PC will be displayed. Reviewers will be rated and dynamically selected. 

Please see more details on our website.
