Machine Learning for Signal Processing

There are many interesting problems that can be addressed by signal processing. With the advent of ever increasing computational power, there are some problems that were either not possible to address before or not in the way that it can be addressed now. Separate developments have taken place in learning algorithms for over more than the last thirty years. Much more recently interesting and innovative researches have been taking place in the area of Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP). In these lectures, I wish to tell you about some of these efforts, relating to some of my own experiences.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Lecture 1 will be a general introduction to machine learning, including detection, classification and recognition; it will also outline the various stages of the process.

Lectures 2 and 3 will cover feature selection methods and classification methods.

Lecture 4 will describe case studies with breast cancer data.

Lecture 5 will report case studies on rotating machine condition monitoring.

Lecture 6 will outline case studies in automatic modulation recognition, a central element in software defined radio.

Lecture 7 will present more recent ideas of feature generation using genetic programming and record their performance with breast cancer data, rotating machine vibration data, and audio data.

Lecture 8 will discuss comparative partner selection and code-bloat in genetic programming, independent component analysis, and other applications.
