Introduction of New Associate Editors

W would like to express our sincere gratitude to Joachim M. Buhmann and Mandyam Srinivasan who are retiring as TPAMI Associate Editors. While they’ll remain active for a few more months as they wrap up papers still in their charge, they will be missed. They have both been among the most reliable and dedicated editors on the board, returning sound judgements in a very timely manner. This exemplary effort has been an important contribution to TPAMI in helping to reduce the time from submission to editorial decisions, something greatly appreciated by all. Thank you guys! We are also pleased to announce that Professor Kaleem Siddiqi and Professor Max Welling have joined TPAMI as Associate Editors and will strengthen our depth in machine learning. Professor Kaleem Siddiqi will handle papers in the areas of shape analysis, medical image analysis, and geometric fl ows, PDEs, and variational methods. Professor Welling will oversee papers in graphical models, approximate inference, object recognition, and Bayesian learning. Welcome to TPAMI’s editorial board, and we look forward to working with you.
