Call For Papers

Special session on Non-iterative Approaches in Learning (Including comparative studies with iterative methods)

2018 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI 2018)
Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL, 08-13 July 2018 - http://www.ecomp.poli.br/~wcci2018/

DESCRIPTION:
Optimization, which plays a central role in learning, has received considerable attention from academics, researchers, and domain workers. Many optimization problems in machine learning can be tackled with non-iterative approaches, which can be presented in closed-form manner. Those methods are in general computationally faster than iterative solutions and less sensitive to parameter settings. Even though non-iterative methods have attracted much attention in recent years, there exists a performance gap when compared with older methods and other competing paradigms. This special session aims to bridge this gap.
The first target of this special session is to present the recent advances of non-iterative solutions in learning. Secondly, the focus is on promoting the concepts of non-iterative optimization with respect to counterparts, such as gradient-based methods and derivative-free iterative optimization techniques. Besides the dissemination of the latest research results on non-iterative algorithms, it is also expected that this special session will cover some practical applications, present some new ideas and identify directions for future studies.
Original contributions, comparative studies with both iterative and non-iterative methods are welcome. Typical paradigms include (but not limited to) random vector functional link (RVFL), Echo State Networks (ESN), kernel ridge regression (KRR), random forests (RF), etc…
The topics of the special session include, but are not limited to:
Methods with and without randomization
Regression, classification and time series analysis
Kernel methods such as kernel ridge regression, kernel adaptive filters, etc.
Feedforward, recurrent, multilayer, deep and other structures.
Ensemble learning
Moore-Penrose pseudo inverse, SVD and other solution procedures.
Gaussian Process regression
Non-iterative methods for large-scale problems with and without kernels
Theoretical analysis of non-iterative methods
Comparative studies with competing iterative methods
Applications of non-iterative solutions in domains such as power systems, biomedical, finance, signal processing, big data and all other areas
