The implicit objective of the biennial international - Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology (iTWIST) is to foster collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For its second edition, the iTWIST workshop took place in the medieval and picturesque town of Namur in Belgium, from Wednesday August 27th till Friday August 29th, 2014. The workshop was conveniently located in The Arsenal building within walking distance of both hotels and town center. iTWIST14 has gathered about 70 international participants and has featured 9 invited talks, 10 oral presentations, and 14 posters on the following themes, all related to the theory, application and generalization of the sparsity paradigm: Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing; Union of low dimensional subspaces; Beyond linear and convex inverse problem; Matrix/manifold/graph sensing/processing; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Sparsity and computational neuroscience; Information theory, geometry and randomness; Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods; Sparsity? Whats next?; Sparse machine learning and inference.
The third edition of the international - Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology (iTWIST) took place in Aalborg, the 4th largest city in Denmark situated beautifully in the northern part of the country, from the 24th to 26th of August 2016. The workshop venue was at the Aalborg University campus. One implicit objective of this biennial workshop is to foster collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For this third edition, iTWIST16 gathered about 50 international participants and features 8 invited talks, 12 oral presentations, and 12 posters on the following themes, all related to the theory, application and generalization of the sparsity paradigm: Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing (e.g., optics, computer vision, genomics, biomedical, digital communication, channel estimation, astronomy); Application of sparse models in non-convex/non-linear inverse problems (e.g., phase retrieval, blind deconvolution, self calibration); Approximate probabilistic inference for sparse problems; Sparse machine learning and inference; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Optimization for sparse modelling; Information theory, geometry and randomness; Sparsity? Whats next? (Discrete-valued signals; Union of low-dimensional spaces, Cosparsity, mixed/group norm, model-based, low-complexity models, ...); Matrix/manifold sensing/processing (graph, low-rank approximation, ...); Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods/optimization; Electronic/optical compressive sensors (hardware).
The iTWIST workshop series aim at fostering collaboration between international scientific teams for developing new theories, applications and generalizations of low-complexity models. These events emphasize dissemination of ideas through both specific oral and poster presentations, as well as free discussions. For this fourth edition, iTWIST18 gathered in CIRM, Marseille, France, 74 international participants and featured 7 invited talks, 16 oral presentations, and 21 posters. From iTWIST18, the scientific committee has decided that the workshop proceedings will adopt the episcience.org philosophy, combined with arXiv.org: in a nutshell, the proceedings are equivalent to an overlay page, built above arXiv.org; they add value to these archives by attaching a scientific caution to the validated papers. This means that all papers listed in the HTML page of this arxiv publication (see the menu on the right) have been thoroughly evaluated and approved by two independent reviewers, and authors have revised their work according to the comments provided by these reviewers.
These are the post-proceedings of the second ARCADE workshop, which took place on the 26th August 2019 in Natal, Brazil, colocated with CADE-27. ARCADE stands for Automated Reasoning: Challenges, Applications, Directions, Exemplary achievements. The goal of this workshop was to bring together key people from various sub-communities of automated reasoning--such as SAT/SMT, resolution, tableaux, theory-specific calculi (e.g. for description logic, arithmetic, set theory), interactive theorem proving---to discuss the present, past, and future of the field.
The objective of this first workshop on Multiple Partonic Interactions (MPI) at the LHC is to raise the profile of MPI studies, summarizing the legacy from the older phenomenology at hadronic colliders and favouring further specific contacts between the theory and experimental communities. The MPI are experiencing a growing popularity and are currently widely invoked to account for observations that would not be explained otherwise: the activity of the Underlying Event, the cross sections for multiple heavy flavour production, the survival probability of large rapidity gaps in hard diffraction, etc. At the same time, the implementation of the MPI effects in the Monte Carlo models is quickly proceeding through an increasing level of sophistication and complexity that in perspective achieves deep general implications for the LHC physics. The ultimate ambition of this workshop is to promote the MPI as unification concept between seemingly heterogeneous research lines and to profit of the complete experimental picture in order to constrain their implementation in the models, evaluating the spin offs on the LHC physics program.
This volume contains a final and revised selection of papers presented at the Seventh International Workshop on Verification and Program Transformation (VPT 2019), which took place in Genova, Italy, on April 2nd, 2019, affiliated with Programming 2019.
