The workshop is 22nd in the series, organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, with the aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, passionate about multimedia signal processing, to share their knowledge, exchange ideas, explore future research directions and network.

The use of machine-learning for multimedia forensics is gaining more and more consensus, especially due to the amazing possibilities offered by modern machine learning techniques. By exploiting deep learning tools, new approaches have been proposed whose performance remarkably exceed those achieved by state-of-the-art methods based on standard machine-learning and model-based techniques. 

COVID-19 has disrupted the day-to-day activities of governments, corporates, and people across the globe. It is unfortunate that this virus has taken humanity to a stage where most of us spend time in isolation worrying about the future.

The First TReNDS Neuroimaging Competition is LIVE! The competition features the largest normative dataset of its kind and will push the limits of current predictive technologies to help determine the translational value of the provided features for future clinical use. Find more about this unique opportunity here.

The ALASKA 2 Steganalysis Challenge is now open!  The goal of the competition is to push the community towards image steganalysis, “into the wild” facing two main challenges: 1) The very high heterogeneity of image "sources", with widely different type of content, processing operations, sensor noises, etc. and 2) Designing machine learning method for detection with low false positive, ideally that could be guaranteed.  The entry deadline is 13 July 2020 at 11:59 PM (UTC). 

Given the impossibility of travel during the COVID-19 crisis,  Computational Imaging TC is launching an SPS Webinar Series SPACE (Signal Processing And Computational imagE formation) as a regular bi-weekly online seminar series to reach out to the global computational imaging and signal processing community.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society would like to express our concern and support for the members of our global community and all affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate your continued patience and support as we work together to navigate these unforeseen and uncertain circumstances. We hope that you, your families, and your communities are safe!

Virtual reality (VR) holds tremendous potential to advance our society. It is expected to make impact on quality of life, energy conservation, and the economy, and reach a $162B market by 2022. 

Dr. Birsen Yazici received her B.S. degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics from Bogazici University, Istanbul Turkey, in 1988, and the M.S.and Ph.D.degrees in mathematics and electrical engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA, in 1990 and 1994, respectively.
