How fast is online learning evolving? Are wind turbines a promising investment? And how long before a cheap hoverboard makes it to market? Attempting to answer such questions requires knowing something about the rate at which a technology is improving. Now engineers at MIT have devised a formula for estimating how fast a technology is advancing, based on information gleaned from relevant patents.

In our "What should we learn from... " series we report on a special issue from IEEE Potentials in March/April 2015. It gave some interesting comments on Biomimicry or Bioinspiration covering fields such as sensors networks, vision systems, health care and robot design which we believe are very relevant to the signal processing community.

Topological data analysis (TDA) is an emerging multi-discipline area of research spanning topology, statistics, machine learning, signal processing and computation geometry. In our video of the month, Gunnar Carlsson, Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University and co-founder of Ayasdi, offers a nice and concise introduction to TDA.

For our May 2015 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of visual gait recognition. The section below covers patents granted recently for gait recognition technologies in computer generated reality, visual behavior recognition, access management and motion classification.

For our April 2015 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of wavelet analysis. The section below covers patents granted recently for seismic data analysis, image stream compression, audio identification, continuous wavelet estimation, multidimensional data analysis, motion tracking, dispersion measurement, time domain network analysis, and video fingerprinting.

Computer scientists at Washington University in St. Louis’ School of Engineering & Applied Science analyzed a huge amount of data regarding an important protein and discovered its connection in human history as well as clues about its role in complex neurological diseases.

With the explosive growth of 5G wireless technology development, signal processing techniques are playing more and more important roles in many aspects. As an industry-oriented technical committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, Industry DSP Technology Standing Committee (IDSP-SC) is actively promoting 5G technology from a practice and industry perspective.

For our March 2015 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of Deep Lerning techniques. The section below covers patents granted recently for natural language processing, research of neural networks, correlation analysis between data streams, document analysis and medical image enhancement.

The AASP TC reports on elections, the latest IEEE SPM special issue on assisted listening, upcoming challenges and conferences.
