Adaptive (i.e., data-driven) methods have become very popular these last decades. Among the existing techniques, the empirical mode decomposition has proven to be very efficient in extracting accurate time-frequency information from non-stationary signals.

In accordance with the Bylaws of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, I am writing to solicit nominations for the Awards Board and the Nominations and Appointments (N&A) Committee. This year, the Society will be filling THREE positions on the N&A Committee for the term 2022-2023 and TWO positions on the Awards Board for the term 2022-2024. Nominations must be received no later than Friday, 24 September 2021.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society has developed guidelines related to SPS Chapter social media and Chapter Activities.

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.

This webinar will demonstrate how deep learning can solve difficult communication problems that prior approaches often fail with two case studies. The first half will discuss a novel iterative BP-CNN architecture for channel decoding under correlated noise. This architecture concatenates a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) with a standard belief-propagation (BP) decoder. 

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) recently approved the creation of the Synthetic Aperture Standards Committee.  This body is the first Standards Committee created under the auspices of the SPS and it is actively recruiting new members for its initial roster. 

Satoshi Nakamura received his B.S. degree in electronics engineering from Kyoto Institute of Technology, Kyoto, in 1981. He received his Ph.D. in informatics from Kyoto University in 1992. He was the Department Head and Director of ATR Spoken Language Communication Research Laboratories, Kyoto, Japan in the period of 2000-2008.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is honored to announce the elevation of 72 of its members to the grade of IEEE Senior Member. These members have demonstrated outstanding professional performance, exhibited professional maturity through long-term experience, and established themselves as leaders in their respective IEEE-designated fields of interest.
