IEEE International Workshop on
MACHINE LEARNING FOR SIGNAL PROCESSING

September 21–24, 2020 Aalto University, Espoo, Finland (virtual conference)

Code of Ethics and Policies

Authors who have questions about whether their paper would violate any code of ethics should contact the Program Chairs at mlsp2020-programchairs@ieeemlsp.cc when they plan to submit the paper.

The code of ethics and policies follow IEEE Signal Processing Society Policies and Procedures.

The essential parts are listed below. If any discrepancy between the information stated on this pages and the official IEEE Signal Processing Society Policies and Procedures then the official policies prevail.

IEEE Event Conduct and Safety Statement

IEEE believes that science, technology, and engineering are fundamental human activities, for which openness, international collaboration, and the free flow of talent and ideas are essential. Its meetings, conferences, and other events seek to enable engaging, thought provoking conversations that support IEEE’s core mission of advancing technology for humanity.

Accordingly, IEEE is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all participants, including staff and vendors, at IEEE-related events. IEEE has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at IEEE-related events. All participants have the right to pursue shared interests without harassment or discrimination in an environment that supports diversity and inclusion.

Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others. IEEE seeks to provide a secure environment at its events. Participants should report any behavior inconsistent with the principles outlined here, to on site staff, security or venue personnel, or to eventconduct@ieee.org.

Authors’ Rights

Author Misconduct

The IEEE Signal Processing Society recognizes that there are different forms of author misconduct including:

Paper Formatting

Authors are required to format submissions in accordance with provided formatting procedures provided. Failure to comply will result in rejection of the paper for publication.

No-shows

Non-Presented Paper (No-Show) Policy:

The IEEE Signal Processing Society enforces a “no show” policy. Any accepted paper included in the final program is expected to have at least one author or qualified proxy attend and present the paper at the conference. Authors of the accepted papers included in the final program who do not attend and present at the conference will be added to a “No Show List”, compiled by the Society. The “no show” papers will not be published by IEEE on IEEE Xplore® or other public access forums, but these papers will be distributed as part of the on-site electronic proceedings and the copyright of these papers will belong to the IEEE.

Note: For poster sessions, if the speaker is not present in front of the poster for most of the time during the poster session, this implies “no show”.

Exceptions to this policy will be made by the Technical Program Chair of the conference only if there is evidence that the no show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted. The no show authors may appeal the decision of the Technical Program Chair to the Vice President Conferences.

The Signal Processing Society values diversity. Authors who anticipate inability to travel to a conference because of a government-imposed travel restriction are still encouraged to submit papers. Such papers will be reviewed and accepted on their own merit for publication in Conference Proceedings, without any knowledge of the author’s travel restriction. Within one week of paper acceptance notification, travel-restricted authors must notify the Technical Program Chair of the conference with proof of their restriction. Substitute presenters may be possible or, depending on conference resources, other accommodations may be available, such as a remote presentation or pre-recorded video

Authors’ Handling of Submitted Papers

In order to prevent disclosure of authors’ identities, MLSP does not allow authors to share or post submitted versions of their papers during the review period on any platform. For accepted papers, the general IEEE rules below apply.

As provided by IEEE Policy, all technical, educational and professional publications, including Society newsletters, are required to be copyrighted by the IEEE. Copyright is held by the Institute itself and not by the Society.

In further keeping with IEEE policy, the Society shall ensure that, prior to publication, all authors or their employers shall transfer to the IEEE in writing any copyright they hold for their individual papers. Such transfer shall be necessary for publication, except for material in the public domain or reprinted from a copyrighted publication. In return, the IEEE shall grant authors and their employers permission in writing to make copies and otherwise reuse the material under terms approved by the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board, which shall be specified in the PSPB Operations Manual.
