Facial expressions are configurations of different muscle movements in the face. The local characters of muscle movements play an important role in distinguishing facial expressions by machines. In this webinar, the presenter will explore the local characters local characters of muscle movements by introducing the attention mechanism into two frameworks.

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have been the main technology used in aerial and ground vehicle navigation systems. As vehicles approach full autonomy, the requirements on the accuracy, reliability, and availability of their navigation systems become very stringent. Due to the limitations of GNSS, namely severe attenuation in deep urban canyons and susceptibility to interference, jamming, and spoofing, alternative sensors and signals are sought. 

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is honored to announce the elevation of 108 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. 

Every person spends around 1/3 of their life in bed. For an infant or a young toddler this percentage can be much higher, and for bed-bound patients it can go up to 100% of their time. In-bed pose estimation is a critical step in many human behavioral monitoring systems, which are focused on prevention, prediction, and management of at-rest or sleep-related conditions in both adults and children.

The Society offers funding under the Member Driven Initiatives program for events that encourage involvement by SPS membership, including local chapters, universities, industry members as well as individual members. Programs under the Member Driven Initiatives include the launched Forums and Regional Meetings, in addition to the existing Chapter Driven Initiatives.

The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 Technical Committees that support a broad selection of signal processing-related activities defined by the scope of the Society.

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

The SPS membership numbers have been stable, albeit low, for many years in Region 9. However, there has been a decrease in student membership even though the number of active students in the areas of interest of signal processing remain high throughout the whole region.

This webinar will discuss the MMSE channel estimator for a simple SIMO system model, without knowledge of the required channel statistics. Although the derived MMSE estimator is computationally intractable in the general form, its structure can be used to motivate a neural network architecture with lower complexity.
