Special session on: “SS-L2: Signal Processing for Autonomous and Self Aware systems”

Session Type: Lecture
Time: Tuesday, April 17, 16:00 – 18:00
Location: Glen 201-202
Session Chairs: Lucio Marcenaro, University of Genoa, Carlo S. Regazzoni, University of Genova and Konstantinos N. Plataniotis, University of Toronto

Summary:

The main topic of the proposed Special Session is autonomous and self-aware systems. The recent development of novel Signal Processing techniques allows a new level of awareness in artificial systems. In the last decade, the increasing role of information and communication technologies tools in the modern society has led to research challenges towards the study and development of innovative applications aiming at improving quality of life, supporting human everyday tasks and fulfilling urgent society needs. However, often the focus of such applications has been systems that are built and programmed to perform a certain stream of actions when they recognize specific situations.

This Special Session reflects current state-of-the-art approaches for Signal Processing for Autonomous and Self Aware Systems. In particular, contributions related to the impact of deep learning onto signal processing methods for autonomous systems, self aware signal processing (eg tracking , etc.), the role of time and context in signal processing for autonomous systems, signal processing and control theory: new frontiers, the necessity of a different dynamical semantic for model driven signal processing, signal processing for incremental learning, have been published.
