Workshop Announcement
We are in the process of organizing a workshop at Tel Aviv University, Israel,
on March 1 - 2, 2010 on
Linear Programming and Message-Passing Approaches to
High-Density Parity-Check Codes and High-Density Graphical Models
The main idea of this workshop is to bring together people interested
in the algorithmic aspects (in particular linear programming,
message passing, etc.) and performance analysis aspects
(stopping sets, near-codewords, pseudo-codewords, etc.) of
high-density parity-check codes and high-density graphical models. As
such, this workshop will provide an informal environment for a
fruitful information exchange with talks and discussion sessions.
We strongly believe that promoting these topics in our community is
important and would lead to concentrated efforts on some of the
challenging problems currently under investigation. Hopefully,
this will for example lead to almost-optimal decoding of relatively
"big" (block size of up to many hundreds of bits) high-density
parity-check codes with practical complexity, as well as to a deeper
understanding of linear-programming- / message-passing-based
processing of high-density graphical models in general.
The workshop will be held on the campus of Tel Aviv University. There will be
no registration fee but travel and accommodation expenses will be the
responsibility of the participants. More information will be provided at a
later stage.
Deadlines:
- October 1, 2009: confirmation of participation / presentation.
- December 1, 2009: submission of titles and abstracts.
