Workshop Abstract

Nonlinear signal processing using neural network models is a topic of recent interest in various application areas. Recurrent networks offer a potentially rich and powerful modelling capability though may suffer from some problems in training. On the other hand, simpler network structures which have an overall feedforward structure, but draw more strongly on linear signal processing approaches have been proposed. The resulting structures can be viewed as a nonlinear generalizations of linear filters. This workshop is aimed at addressing issues surrounding networks which may be viewed in a nonlinear signal processing framework, focussing in particular on those which employ some form of time delay connections and generally limited recurrent connections. We intend to consolidate some of the recent theoretical and practical results, as well as addressing open issues.
