The Latest News, Articles, and Events in Signal Processing

Aalborg University

Large language models(LLMs) have demonstrated increasingly powerful capabilities for reasoning tasks, especially in text. The project aims to explore and advance these capabilities in reasoning across multiple data modalities, including but not limited to text, speech and audio. The integration of multiple modalities can lead to more robust and general systems capable of understading and reasoning about the world in a more human-like manner.

IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing

Most current models for analyzing multimodal sequences often disregard the imbalanced contributions of individual modal representations caused by varying information densities, as well as the inherent multi-relational interactions across distinct modalities. Consequently, a biased understanding of the intricate interplay among modalities may be fostered, limiting prediction accuracy and effectiveness.

IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing

Audio and visual signals complement each other in human speech perception, and the same applies to automatic speech recognition. The visual signal is less evident than the acoustic signal, but more robust in a complex acoustic environment, as far as speech perception is concerned. 

IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing

Conventional fine-tuning encounters increasing difficulties given the size of current Pre-trained Language Models, which makes parameter-efficient tuning become the focal point of frontier research. Recent advances in this field is the unified tuning methods that aim to tune the representations of both multi-head attention (MHA) and fully connected feed-forward network (FFN) simultaneously, but they rely on existing tuning methods and do not explicitly model domain knowledge for downstream tasks.

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 Technical Committees that support a broad selection of signal processing-related activities defined by the scope of the Society.

IEEE SPS has built a streamlined mechanism for employers to add a job announcement by simply filling in a simple job opportunity submission Web form related to a particular TC field. To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and selecting a particular TC.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society is happy to announce the addition of 43 new Chapters formed in 2024. We welcome the following SPS Chapters and wish them great success in their future activities and events.

We are excited to announce that registration for the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) 2025 is now open! Join us from April 14-17, 2025, in Houston, TX, USA for the premier forum that brings together researchers and practitioners at the forefront of biomedical imaging science and technology.

 

The IEEE Transactions on Multimedia is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Multimedia Prize Paper Award. Nominations are due no later than 31 March 2025.

Chanwoo Kim is a professor at the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Korea University. Till 2023, he has been a corporate Executive Vice President (EVP) at Samsung Research, leading the Language and Voice Team (LVT).

IEEE Transactions on Multimedia

Existing High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) selective encryption algorithms only consider the encoding characteristics of syntax elements to keep format compliance, but ignore the semantic features of video content, which may lead to unnecessary computational and bit rate costs. To tackle this problem, we present a content-aware tunable selective encryption (CATSE) scheme for HEVC. First, a deep hashing network is adopted to retrieve groups of pictures (GOPs) containing sensitive objects.

IEEE Transactions on Multimedia

Image set compression (ISC) refers to compressing the sets of semantically similar images. Traditional ISC methods typically aim to eliminate redundancy among images at either signal or frequency domain, but often struggle to handle complex geometric deformations across different images effectively. 

IEEE Transactions on Multimedia

Explanatory Visual Question Answering (EVQA) is a recently proposed multimodal reasoning task consisting of answering the visual question and generating multimodal explanations for the reasoning processes. Unlike traditional Visual Question Answering (VQA) task that only aims at predicting answers for visual questions, EVQA also aims to generate user-friendly explanations to improve the explainability and credibility of reasoning models.

IEEE Transactions on Multimedia

Existing JPEG encryption approaches pose a security risk due to the difficulty in changing all block-feature values while considering format compatibility and file size expansion. To address these concerns, this paper introduces a novel JPEG image encryption scheme. First, the security of sketch information against chosen-plaintext attacks is improved by increasing the change rate of block-feature values.

IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing

Deep neural networks have demonstrated considerable effectiveness in recognizing complex communications signals through their applications in the tasks of automatic modulation recognition. However, the resilience of these networks is undermined by the introduction of carefully designed adversarial examples that compromise the reliability of the decision processes.
