Towards Virtual Classroom Technologies: Challenges and Opportunities
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.
Upcoming Webinar: "Deep Learning on Graphs and Manifolds: Going Beyond Euclidean Data"
In the past decade, deep learning methods have achieved unprecedented performance on a broad range of problems in various fields from computer vision to speech recognition. So far research has mainly focused on developing deep learning methods for Euclidean-structured data.
Upcoming Webinar: "Enabling Identity-Based Integrity Auditing and Data Sharing With Sensitive Information Hiding for Secure Cloud Storage"
With cloud storage services, users can remotely store their data to the cloud and realize the data sharing with others. Remote data integrity auditing is proposed to guarantee the integrity of the data stored in the cloud. In some common cloud storage systems, such as the electronic health records system, the cloud file might contain some sensitive information that should not be exposed to others when the cloud file is shared.
Upcoming Webinar: "FemtoPixel: Lensless Imaging with Compressive Ultrafast Sensing" presented by Dr. Guy Satat
In this webinar, we'll introduce FemtoPixel: A framework for lensless imaging with compressive ultrafast sensing. The FemtoPixel framework provides single-pixel imaging capabilities that are up to 50X faster compared to traditional single-pixel camera techniques.
Upcoming Webinar: "Toward Efficient and Flexible CNN-based Denoising in Photography" presented by Dr. Wangmeng Zuo
This webinar, “Toward Efficient and Flexible CNN-based Denoising in Photography,” begins with the design of denoising CNN (DnCNN) model by incorporating residual learning and batch normalization.
Upcoming Webinar: "Network Topology Inference from Spectral Templates" presented by Dr. Santiago Segarra
This webinar will address the problem of identifying the structure of an undirected graph from the observation of signals defined on its nodes. Fundamentally, the unknown graph encodes direct relationships between signal elements, which we aim to recover from observable indirect relationships generated by a diffusion process on the graph.
Upcoming Webinar and Special Offer!
Upcoming webinar, 29 January 2019 by Dr. Victor Elvira. In many problems of signal processing, the interest is in estimating unknown static variables given a set of observations. The hidden parameters and the available data are usually related through a specific model.
An Opportunity for Electronic Engineering: Training Tomorrow’s Doctor-Engineers
King Li is dean and chief academic officer for Carle Illinois College of Medicine, created in partnership by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Carle Health System. When he went to medical school 40 years ago, he sometimes felt like he was trying to memorize the human body.
Last Opportunity this Year to Apply for Humanitarian Activities Project and Event Funding!
The IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC) and IEEE Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT) have opportunities for interested volunteers to apply for funding for sustainable development or humanitarian technology-related Projects in local communities around the world, as well as relevant Events.
