The Latest News, Articles, and Events in Signal Processing

Overview
The Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has allocated $40,000 for Member-Driven Initiatives for the 2016 calendar year. The funding is open to all Signal Processing Society members, Chapters and Committees. However, all proposals must include the involvement of the local Chapter to encourage geographic development. Allocation of funds will be competitive.

For our November 2016 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of handwriting recognition, proposing novel hardware and software tools and signal processing algorithms for character separation and recognition, word extraction and content analysis.

What are things that all EEs know? What is the commonality of training and experience that holds us together as a profession, and how is it changing? What will it mean to be an EE in the future? Read about Robert W. Lucky's article “The ever-evolving field of electrical engineering” published in IEEE Spectum,

SPS Vice President-Publications

IEEE is pleased to announce a new program that allows members and non-members alike to give the gift of IEEE membership.

Please help promote this new program to your members and others who might want to share the opportunities of IEEE membership.

Jose M.F. Moura, SPS Vice President-Awards and Membership and
Sadaoki Furui, Chair, SPS Fellow Reference Committee

IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership of the IEEE. It honors members with an outstanding record of technical achievements, contributing importantly to the advancement or application of engineering, science and technology, and bringing significant value to society.

The Executive Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) appointed two new Chairs who will start their terms on 1 January 2017: H.Vincent Poor and Isabel Trancoso.

The IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) is a scientific conference dedicated to mathematical, algorithmic, and computational aspects of biomedical imaging, across all scales of observation. It fosters knowledge transfer among different imaging communities and contributes to an integrative approach to biomedical imaging.

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

The IEEE Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee reports on the Interspeech conference and an interview with Geoffery Zweig.

Researchers from Disney Research have built a cordless one-legged hopping robot that can bounce up to 7 seconds/19 times without falling over. They employed a linear elastic actuator in parallel (LEAP), which placed a voice coil actuator (VCA) in parallel with compression springs, to act as the primary weight-bearing actuator for the one-legged hopping robot.

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.

Please refer to the following webpage for the latest updates on upcoming conferences in Signal Processing.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society was recently awarded the IEEE Educational Activities Board Society/Council Professional Development Award! The award citation states, “for innovative educational and professional development programs that engage professionals, students and the general public in signal processing,” will be presented during the IEEE Meeting Series in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA later this month. SPS President Rabab Ward will accept the award on behalf of the Society.

University of California, Davis

A Postdoctoral Scholar position in the area of Neuroengineering is available in the laboratory of Dr. Jochen Ditterich at the Center for Neuroscience, University of California, Davis, for developing a closed-loop neural stimulator for use in basic neuroscience. The project involves multiple investigators and is funded by NIH and NSF.

When you first hear about Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing (AASP) it’s likely you don’t think of the movies, music and modern smartphones that it gives life to. As a sub-category of signal processing, AASP specifically deals with the analysis, processing and synthesis of sound that has been either recorded by one or more microphones or artificially generated by, for example, a computer program or synthesizer. 

EML European Media Laboratory GmbH

Experience IT – Intuitive Technology: this principle guides our work at the European Media Laboratory. We are an IT enterprise, based in Heidelberg, Germany, focusing on the automatic conversion of speech into text for a variety of markets.

Johannes Kepler University Linz

At the Institute of Signal Processing and the Institute for Communications Engineering and RF-Systems at Johannes Kepler University Linz five open positions for research assistants are to be filled by January 1st, 2017.

University of Pittsburgh

A computational speech and language postdoctoral position is available in the University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurosurgery’s Brain Modulation Laboratory.
