The Latest News, Articles, and Events in Signal Processing

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 Technical Committees and 3 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that support a broad selection of signal processing-related activities defined by the scope of the Society.

IEEE SPS Distinguished LecturerDr. Wing-Kin (Ken) Ma, gave a talk on “Hyperspectral Unmixing in Remote Sensing: Insights and Beyond.” The lecture, which included Machine Learning, was held on 14 June 2018 for the SPS German Chapter at Technischen Universität Darmstadt. The talk was hosted and moderated by Marius Pesavento and Gerald Enzner.

For our August 2018 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of Lidar based scene analysis. Patent no. 10,031,231 presents an object-detection system suitable for an automated vehicle which includes a lidar and a controller. The lidar is used to detect a point-cloud that is organized into a plurality of scan-lines. 

Please visit the Conferences and Events page on the IEEE Signal Processing Society website for Upcoming Lectures by Distinguished Lecturers.

Your vote is important! On 15 August, the election of Regional Directors-at-Large for Regions 1-6 and 8 (the term is 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2020) and Members-at-Large (term 1 January 2019 through 31 December 2021) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Board of Governors (BoG) will be open.

When deciding on a career path, you’re likely to have different considerations in mind. You want to have a skillset for which there is a wide demand in growing industries. You also need to be certain your expertise will remain relevant in the technologically uncertain years to come, when AI and automation will change many of our jobs as we know it.

Aston University (Birmingham; UK)

Development of new optical transmission methods based on nonlinear Fourier transform.

Will there be a cure for cancer in our lifetime? Opinions surrounding this question vary, but many people are inclined to think there will be. The unfortunate reality is all types of cancer are fatal if left untreated. 

The IEEE Board of Directors has approved the 2019 IEEE Technical Field Awards. The complete list of recipients and their citations is online at www.ieee.org/awards. Please feel free to send your notes of congratulations and to publicize the recipients within your IEEE and professional affiliations.

HARMAN Internaitonal

Job Description

A Career at HARMAN

Stanford University

Stanford University announces a postdoctoral fellowship, with initial term of October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019 with the potential for renewal.

The postdoc would join our project on using NLP, dialogue, and speech processing to improve police-community relations by processing and studying the language from police body-worn cameras.

Center for Translational Neurophysiology of Speech and Communication (CTNSC) @ Italian Institute of Technology (IIT)

PHD PROGRAM in TRANSLATIONAL NEUROSCIENCES AND NEUROTECHNOLOGIES

The Center for Translational Neurophysiology of Speech and Communication (CTNSC) @ Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), is looking for highly motivated students to work on:

- Improving performance and biocompatibility of electrode arrays for brain-computer interfaces

- Functional investigation of innovative neural interfaces

University of Sheffield

To work on advanced methods for automatic speech recognition with the aim towards building transferable multiple domain end to end recognition systems that are adaptive and can learn over long periods of time.

University of Sheffield

To work on advanced deep learning methods to build robust and high performance methods for speech recognition that can work in the context of many languages and that allow fast building of recognition systems for new languages.

University of Sheffield

To work on unified methodologies to extract information from speech that allows to infer a variety of speech properties relating to the emotional state. Methods should be robust and the work should keep further speech attributes in mind. The position is funded by the Innovate UK (UKRI) project MAUDIE and by IIKE in collaboration with Emotech Ltd. Salaries are at University of Sheffield grade scales 7.1 - 7.9, and the opening is for 12 months.

University of Sheffield

To work on robust methods for direct recognition from the raw waveforms - to achieve robustness against environmental effects. Work should focus on telephony, but further multichannel input is of interest. Funding for 3 years, in the context of the Voicebase Centre for Speech and Language Technologies.

University of Sheffield

Diarisation is the process of recognising who speaks when, with as little prior knowledge as possible. To this day it is implemented as a multi-stage process. Research should focus on integrating what is now typically 4 stages of processing into an end to end . Funded by UKRI for 3.5 years. Funding details to be announced soon.
