The 4th International Workshop on Signal Processing and Machine Learning (SiPML 2018) is organized by Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez, Dr. Jolanta Mizera-Pietraszko from Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez, and Opole University, respectively. SiPML will be held in Tunghai University, Taichung, Taiwan on Octorber 27-29, 2018, in conjunction with the main conference 13th International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing (3PGCIC 2018).
The aim of the workshop is to contribute to the cross-fertilization between the research on Machine Learning (ML) methods and their application to Signal Processing (SP) to initiate collaboration between these areas. ML usually plays an important role in the transition from data storage to decision systems based on large databases of signals such as the obtained from sensor networks, internet services, or communication systems. These systems imply developing both computational solutions and novel models. Signals from real-world systems are usually complex such as speech, music, bio-medical, and multimedia, among others.

5. Publication and indexing
All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings of Lecture Notes in Data Engineering and Communication Technologies series published by Springer. Proceedings will be sent by Springer for indexing in EI and SCOPUS. ** Indexing: The books of this series are submitted to ISI Proceedings, MetaPress, Springerlink **. Currently, the books of this series are indexed in Web of Science.
High quality papers accepted and presented at the SiPML 2018 workshop will be invited to submit their extended and revised papers to a special issue in the journal Machine Learning (others are pending of approval).
