The Department of Computer Science and the Centre for Discrete
Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) [http://warwick.ac.uk/dimap/]
at the University of Warwick, UK, are advertising a new postdoctoral
research fellow position (2 years) in the area of Discrete Mathematics
and/or in the area of the Design and Analysis of Algorithms.

Candidates are required to have a PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics,
or related discipline, and should be able to demonstrate excellent
research potential in discrete mathematics or applications in algorithms
and/or optimization.

The postdoc will be affiliated with DIMAP and the Foundations of
Computer Science Research Group, and will have the opportunity to work
with world-leading researchers in Algorithms and Discrete Mathematics,

Overview
-------------

Greedy algorithms and projection-free first-order optimization
algorithms are at the core of many of the state of the art sparse
methods in machine learning, signal processing, harmonic analysis,
statistics and other seemingly unrelated areas, with different goals
at first sight. Examples include matching pursuit, boosting, greedy
methods for sub-modular optimization, with applications ranging from
large-scale structured prediction to recommender systems. In the field
of optimization, the recent renewed interest in
Frank-Wolfe/conditional gradient algorithms opens up an interesting
perspective towards a unified understanding of these methods, with a
big potential to translate the rich existing knowledge about the
respective greedy methods between the different fields.

The goal of this workshop is to take a step towards building a modern
and consistent perspective on these related algorithms. The workshop
will gather renowned experts working on those algorithms in machine
learning, optimization, signal processing, statistics and harmonic
analysis, in order to engender a fruitful exchange of ideas and
discussions and to push further the boundaries of scalable and
efficient optimization for learning problems.


Scope
--------------
The main topics are, including, but not limited to:

* Convex Optimization
- Sparse greedy methods
- Sparse first and second order optimization
- Frank-Wolfe / conditional gradient type methods
- Extensions to non-smooth or special problem classes
- Acceleration techniques
- Theoretical convergence rates

* Sparse Methods in Signal Processing
- Atomic decompositions
- Matching pursuit and OMP
- Forward / backward selection methods
- Sparse recovery algorithms

* Statistics and Machine Learning
- Boosting methods
- Graphical model selection
- Sparse methods

* Linear algebra and Matrix analysis
- Matrix and tensor factorizations
- Sparse and low-rank matrix optimization problems

* Harmonic Analysis
- Greedy methods
- Sparse approximation

* Applications
- Empirical comparisons and applications of related methods

Special focus will be given to papers tackling "big data" problems.


Submission
------------------

We encourage attendees for contribution of an extended abstract (up to
4 pages using NIPS style). Abstracts should be sent via EasyChair
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=greedy2013
Accepted submissions will be presented as short talks or posters.

The numbers and modalities of digital information sources being captured
to monitor our traffic, weather, power, personal context, goods,
factories, utilities, ports, health, IT infrastructure, and social
networks, is continuing to grow at an incredible rate. Commercial,
government organizations, and individuals depend on the ability to
automatically mine data from different types of sensor platforms (from
large sensor networks to an individual's smartphone) in order to
monitor, alert, learn from, and in some cases affect and control our
surroundings.

The research involved in developing applications for these classes of
problems lies at the intersection of several diverse disciplines,
including sensing systems, signal processing, machine learning and data
mining, data management, and large-scale distributed systems - for both
online as well as offline analysis. ???In this workshop, colocated with
AMC SenSys 2013, we will include state-of-the-art approaches and
technical solutions in the area of extracting knowledge, by mining data
from sensor networks in large-scale settings. The goal of the workshop
is to establish a new research community and a venue for researchers,
practitioners, and academics to present their results in these
disciplines. We expect this workshop to be a long-term, continued venue
for this research community, and to also lead to the setup of
appropriate special issues and journals.

As part of this workshop, we will include both peer-reviewed and invited
papers. All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings
and the ACM digital library. Original contributions, previously
unpublished, and not currently under review by another journal or
conference, are solicited in relevant areas, including, but not limited
to:

* Mining data from large-scale sensor networks and smartphone sensing
deployments
- Distributed, parallel, and scalable mining algorithms
- Multi-modal mining algorithms
- Resource-adaptive (power, network, compute) mining
- Handling sparsely sampled data, noisy, and untrustworthy data
- Mining big data collected from large-scale smartphone sensing
deployments
- Supporting visualization and user interaction

* Distributed Processing for Sensor
- Network Data Distributed processing at edge and core of sensor
network
- Stream processing systems, Hadoop/MapReduce, cloud, cross-platform
computing

* Sensor Systems and Machine-to-Machine architecture Design
- Large-scale sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine architectures
- Smartphone sensing deployments for big data collection

* Novel Applications of Mining Sensor Network Data: Energy, Healthcare,
Security, Transportation, P2P Systems, Enterprise Environments, Social
Networks, Smartphones
