Proposal to Fund 1994 IEEE Information Theory Workshop on Information Theory and Statistics

1994年IEEE/IMS关于“信息理论和统计”的信息理论研讨会将发表以下相关领域的论文：（1）随机复杂性和通用数据压缩，（2）随机复杂性和信息理论，（3）马尔可夫随机场，（4）矢量量化、分类和回归树，（5）小波理论和应用，（6）非参数函数估计。除了这些具体专题外，还将举行两次公开海报会议，支持与讲习班主题有关的所有领域的研究。研讨会将于1994年10月27日至29日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市的老城假日旅馆举行。IEEE信息理论研讨会在探索和支持通信系统利用和数字数据存储等广泛领域的关键研究趋势方面发挥着重要作用。这个研究领域通常被称为信息理论领域，在过去的四十年里，它在国家通信基础设施的发展中发挥了核心作用。最近，由信息理论家和统计学家进行的共同研究有了显著的增长。1994年IEEE/IMS关于“信息理论和统计”的信息理论讲习班的目的是加强这项工作，并改进各自研究界之间的思想交流。为了支持这一合作，本次研讨会由IEEE信息理论学会和数理统计研究所共同主办。

The 1994 IEEE/IMS Information Theory Workshop on "Information Theory and Statistics" will present papers in the related fields of (1) Stochastic complexity and universal data compression, (2) randomization complexity and information theory, (3) Markov random fields, (4) Vector quantization, classification, and regression trees, (5) theory and applications of wavelets, and (6) nonparametric function estimation. In addition to these specific topics, there will be two open poster sessions supporting research in all fields related to the theme of the workshop. The workshop will be held in the Old Town Holiday Inn, Alexandria, Virginia over the dates of October 27 through October 29, 1994. The IEEE Information Theory Workshops play an important role in exploring and supporting critical research trends in the broad areas of communication system utilization and digital data storage. This area of research is commonly referred to as the field of Information Theory and over the last forty years has played a central role in the development of the nation's communications infrastructure. Recently, there has been a significant rise in common research conducted by Information Theorists and Statisticians. It is the aim of the 1994 IEEE/IMS Information Theory Workshop on "Information Theory and Statistics" to enhance this work and improve the cross-fertilization of ideas between the respective research communities. To support this collaboration, this workshop is being co-sponsored by the IEEE Information Theory Society and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
