SMC2015 Special Session on Matrix and Tensor Analysis for Big Vision

Introduction/Call for Papers

Matrix and Tensor analysis has important applications in natural sciences, medicine, economics, engineering as well as in industry. The research of matrix and tensor analysis plays important roles in dimension reduction, spectral analysis, manifold learning, kernel machines, sparse coding, etc. In recent years, the matrix and tensor analysis presents new research opportunities to large scale visual data, e.g. large scale face recognition, intelligent visual surveillance, web-scale image retrieval/annotation /classification, massive object recognition etc. As a consequence, matrix and tensor analysis is a never-ending resilience field and attracts growing efforts from different fields.

This special session hunts for original research results for Matrix and Tensor Analysis for Big Vision. The goals of this special session are twofold: 1) developing matrix and tensor analysis algorithms to target specific applications in large-scale visual data analytics and 2) defining novel large-scale visual data driven applications, which can be cleared up by conventional matrix and tensor analysis algorithms.

Indicative Topics/Areas

Manuscripts are solicited to address a wide range of topics in matrix and tensor analysis, but not limit to the following:

Extension of traditional matrix and tensor analysis, multiview dimension reduction, spectral analysis, matrix and tensor analysis for manifold learning, kernel machines and tensor machines, matrix and tensor analysis for biometrics, matrix and tensor analysis for web-scale multimedia information retrieval, matrix and tensor analysis for video surveillance, matrix and tensor analysis for sparse analysis, etc.

Important Dates

March 31, 2015: Deadline for submission of full-length papers to special sessions.

June 1, 2015: Acceptance/Rejection Notification.

July 20, 2015: Final camera-ready papers due in electronic form.

Submission

Manuscripts for a Special Session should NOT be submitted in duplication to any other regular or special sessions and should be submitted to SMC 2015 main conference online submission system on SMC 2015 conference website.

All submitted papers of Special Sessions have to undergo the same review process (three completed reviews per paper).  The technical reviewers for each Special Session paper will be members of the SMC 2015 Program Committee and qualified peer-reviewers to be nominated by the Special Session organizers.

Organized by IEEE SMC TC on Cognitive Computing and SMC New South Wales Section
