NC² New Challenges in Neural Computation (NC2)
Workshop of the GI-Fachgruppe Neuronale Netze and the German Neural Networks Society in connection to GCPR 2013, Saarbrücken

The workshop New Challenges in Neural Computation and Machine Learning takes place for the fourth time as a workshop jointly organized by the GI Fachgruppe Neuronale Netze and by the German Neural networks society, this year accompanying the prestigious GCPR in Saarbrücken. The goal of the workshop is to provide a platform for researchers in the field to exchange ideas about ongoing work, open problems, challenges, or also yet unsuccessful approaches in this domain, and to provide a gentle audience also for comparably new researchers in the field.

Best presentation award

The best presentation award for NC2 2013 has been given to Henry Schütze for the presentation of the contribution Learning Orthogonal Bases for k-Sparse Representations by Henry Schütze, Erhardt Barth, Thomas Martinetz. Congratulations!

Proceedings and Special Issue

Proceedings will be available in electronic form in the TR series Machine Learning Reports.

After the success of last year, we plan a special issue in the journal Neurocomputing opening a platform towards research or discussions, which reach a matured state after the workshop.


ENNS The workshop is sponsored by the European Neural Networks Society and by the CITEC centre of excellence CITEC: Cognitive Interaction Technology - Center of Excellence
