Plenary Talks on August 29th, 2012 (Wednesday)

➢ Plenary Talk A (09:50h – 10:40h, Room: Ponta Negra)

Speaker: Prof. José C. Príncipe – University of Florida, USA
Title: On-Line Kernel Learning
Abstract: This talk will summarize recent advances in nonlinear adaptive filtering. Designing adaptive
filters in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS) bridges the established procedures of adaptive filter
theory with kernel methods. The end result is a family of filters that are universal approximators in the input
space, that have convex performance surfaces (no local minima), and that are on-line, i.e. they adapt with
every new sample of the input. They are however growing structures therefore special techniques need to be
included to curtail their growth. Although the talk will focus on adaptive filtering, similar techniques can be
applied to the kernel algorithms of machine learning.

Jose C. Principe (M’83-SM’90-F’00) is a Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer
Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida where he teaches
advanced signal processing, machine learning and artificial neural networks (ANNs) modeling.
He is BellSouth Professor and the Founder and Director of the University of Florida

of interest is processing of time varying signals with adaptive neural models. The CNEL Lab
has been studying signal and pattern recognition principles based on information theoretic
criteria (entropy and mutual information).
Dr. Principe is an IEEE Fellow. He was the past Chair of the Technical Committee on
Neural Networks of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, Past-President of the International
Neural Network Society, and Past-Editor in Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical
Engineering. He is a member of the Advisory Board of the University of Florida Brain Institute. Dr. Principe has more
than 500 publications. He directed 72 Ph.D. dissertations and 65 Master theses. He wrote an interactive electronic
book entitled “Neural and Adaptive Systems: Fundamentals Through Simulation” published by John Wiley and Sons
and more recently co-authored three books entitled “Brain Machine Interface Engineering”, Kernel Adaptive Filtering
and Information theoretic Learning.

Plenary Talks on August 29th, 2012 (Wednesday)

➢ Plenary Talk B (16:20h - 17:10h, Room: Ponta Negra)

Speaker: Prof. Hartmut Schmeck – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
Title: Organic Computing - Controlled Self-Organisation in Complex Systems
Abstract: Organic Computing is a recent paradigm for the design and management of complex technical
systems, addressing the need for adaptive, self-organizing systems which are capable of dealing with
changing requirements and unanticipated situations in a robust and trustworthy way and which allow an
external "observer" or "user" to interfere and influence the system whenever it does not show acceptable
behavior by itself. Research in this area has been supported by a priority program of the German Research
Foundation (www.organic-computing.de/SPP). The talk will present the generic observer/controller
architecture of Organic Computing. An essential concept of this architecture is the combined use of online
and offline learning, which is particularly essential in safety-critical scenarios. The application of these
concepts will be described with respect to our research on organic traffic control and on smart energy
systems. Organic traffic control refers to the self-adaptive and self-optimizing control of traffic lights, the
self-organizing establishment of progressive signal systems, and the adaptive generation of routing
recommendations with respect to the objectives of reducing travel delay, number of stops or energy
consumption. Smart energy systems have to respond reasonably to the problems arising from the strongly
volatile and decentralized generation of electric power from renewable sources. This requires a shift from
demand-oriented supply to supply-oriented demand of power, which may be ideally supported by the use of
principles of organic computing for an integrated approach to energy management with respect to
guaranteeing a steady and reliable balance of power demand and supply. Both application scenarios are
typical examples of cyber-physical systems.

Hartmut Schmeck studied at the Universities of Kiel (Germany) and Waterloo (Canada). He got
his academic degrees (Dipl. Inform., Dr.rer.nat., Dr. habil) at Kiel. Since 1991 he is a Full
Professor of Applied Informatics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology – KIT. He is (co-
)author of more than 140 publications on advanced algorithms and architectures, in particular on
bio-inspired methods in optimisation, algorithms for reconfigurable architectures, and, more
recently, on self-organising, adaptive systems. He has been program and conference chair for
numerous international workshops and conferences (a.o. RAW, ARCS, IFIP BICC 2006, 2008,
ATC 2009, ICAC 2011), is a key member of the “Organic Computing Initiative” and
coordinator of the German priority research program SPP 1183 on “Organic Computing”. At
Karlsruhe, he is the Scientific Spokesperson of the KIT-Focus “COMMputation”, addressing the
scientific challenges implied by the inherent combination of communication and computation.

➢ Plenary Talk D (09:50h – 10:40h, Room: Ponta Negra)

Speaker: Prof. André Carvalho – University of São Paulo at São Carlos, Brazil
Title: Using Metalearning For Algorithm Selection
Abstract: Learning and optimization algorithms have been successfully applied over the years to different
application domains. This has resulted in the development of a large number of algorithms and their
variations. However, according to empirical and theoretical results there is no single algorithm that
outperforms the others in every problem. Meta-Learning provides a general framework for the selection of
the most suitable algorithm for a new problem. In this talk I will show some experiments were metalearning
has been successfully used for algorithm selection.

André Carvalho holds a bachelor in Computer Science from Universidade Federal de
Pernambuco (1987), Masters in Computer Science from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco
(1990), Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering – University of Kent at Canterbury (1994) and post-
doctorate from the University of Porto (2006). He is currently a professor at the Universidade de
São Paulo. He is ad hoc reviewer for several national and international foundations to support
research. He is evaluator of teaching conditions at Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas
Educacionais. He has experience in Computer Science, with emphasis on Machine Learning,
mainly in the following subjects: neural networks, machine learning, bioinformatics, genetic
algorithms, data mining and hybrid systems.

Abstract: We approach the problem of projecting n-dimensional data into 2-D. The main goal is to produce
seeable representations that allow good separation of the possible existing clusters. The key idea is to search
for a bi-dimensional subspace on which data could be projected to obtain an optimized separation between
classes. For the precise definition of the separation criterion, both the Cauchy-Schwartz divergence, and the
entropy are taken into account. We also investigate ways of selecting combinations of attributes that best
discriminate between classes. The algorithms are applied to cytometric data aiming to make differential
n
diagnostic between two diseases. Each disease is represented by the mean, in ℝ , of the intensity of
fluorescent emitted by cells marked with conjugated antibodies.

Carlos Eduardo Pedreira (SM’03) was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on April 11, 1956. He
received the B.S. and the M.S. degrees in electrical engineering (Systems) from the Pontiﬁcal
Catholic University (PUC-Rio), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1979 and 1981, respectively, and the
Ph.D. degree from the Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine, University of
London, U.K., in 1987. He is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Medicine and
COPPE-PEE-Engineering Graduate Program, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil. His current research interests include pattern classiﬁcation, cluster analysis,
neural networks, and statistical methods for biomedical applications. Prof. Pedreira was the
Founding President of the Brazilian Neural Networks Society.

Some additional IDEAL 2012 information

1. Place of the Event

Natal City. Natal is the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, a city with around 800 thousand
inhabitants. It receives annually 2 million visitors from all over the world who come to breathe “the
purest air of the Americas”, visit the largest cashew tree in the world and get to know the more than
20 beaches with heavenly views of dunes and a clean calm sea. Natal is among the most sought
after destinations in the Northeast region of Brazil, favored by its location, but mainly for its natural
beauties and infrastructure for leisure that enchants visitors. See some pictures bellow from site
http://canindesoares.com/imagens-do-rn.

Natal has in its history traces of Dutch and Portuguese colonization, but was also an icon as a
military base in World War II; it harbors several beaches and large urban wooded parks, but aside
from all of this, it conserves the charm of an average size city, offering comfort and safety to its

20


visitors. Due to all of these features, Natal was chosen by thousands of visitors from all parts of the
world, not only as a tourist destination, but also as a new place to live, seeing that it is one of the
capitals that have shown the highest growth in the number of residents. Natal, “the city of the sun”,
is also a perfect mix between leisure, life quality and business opportunities.

Natal has the second largest Brazilian’s urban park, the Parque das Dunas. It is an area of 1.172
hectares, 8.5 km in extension, approximately 2 km wide and dunes 120 meters high. It is very
important to Natal because it contributes to improve the city’s weather, recharges and protects the
subterranean waters reservoirs and the life quality of the city’s population. Bosque dos Namorados
is the area of the Parque das Dunas for public use. The park has 3 guided trails for visitation:
Peroba, Ubaia doce and Perobinha. The first one is 2.800 meters long (back and forth) and it can be
walked in 1 hour and a half. Ubaia Doce has 4.174 meters (back and forth) and is a good 2 and a
half hour walk. The Perobinha measures 50 meters (back and forth) and is destined to children. One
can observe native trees, orchids, bromelias, bird nests, some animals, besides a beautiful
panoramic view from the miradors located at the end of the trails, were the sea and the Morro do
Careca can be visualized. Natal has the four biggest Brazilian’s cell phone operators (TIM, Oi,
Claro and Vivo) which support both GSM voice and 3G data services.

State of Rio Grande do Norte. Rio Grande do Norte is located in Brazil’s Northeast region with
Natal as its capitol city. With nearly 3 million inhabitants, the state has a strong appeal for tourists
and attracts more than 2 million visitors a year. These are allured by the natural beauty of its
beaches, mountains, and backlands, the richness of its natural resources such as petroleum and
minerals and the hospitality of the ‘potiguar’ people, which is the name its inhabitants are known
by.

21


Situated on the “corner” of the continent, RN has 410 km of shore line molded by dunes and cliffs
making the state the number 1 destination in Northeast Brazil. The tropical climate favors the
economy, being that the state is known as a great exporter of fruits and also of shrimp. Rio Grande
do Norte is made up of 167 municipalities and presents the best index of human development in the
Norteast. Besides the capital, Natal, the other destinations most visited is the city of Mossoró and
the beaches of Pipa, Genipapu and Maracajaú. But it is not only the sea and sun that enchant the
visitors. The cuisine is a strong point, all over the state, being rich in seafood, ‘carne do sol’, green
beans and ‘macaxeira’.

For those that will arrive earlier to conference, there is a plenty of places to know in Natal and its
north and south coasts. See some information about places to go in Natal at
http://sbic.ct.ufrn.br/ideal2012/?page_id=329.

2. Conference venue - Imirá Plaza Hotel and Convention. (http://www.imiraplaza.com.br/).
