In many applications, different populations are compared using data that are sampled in a biased manner. Under sampling biases, standard methods that estimate the difference between the population means yield unreliable inferences.
Effectively utilizing the common information in a set of video frames is a vital aspect in video segmentation. However, existing methods that transport the common information from a prior frame to the current frame do not make use of the common information effectively.

This year was one of the largest ICASSP conferences that I have attended with more than 3,000 participants. During opening remarks, SPS president, Ali H. Sayed announced that the membership fees for students has been set to $1, there will be an open access journal for signal processing, IEEE SPS formal policy statement for commitment to diversity, and initiating an E-learning center which are great steps forward to create an open society.
What sparked your interest in speech and language processing?
Early on, I was amazed by the ambiguity of natural language, that so many sentences could in fact be parsed and understood in different ways, and yet we can often times easily communicate with each other and interpret what we hear or read with the intended semantics. Then I found out in college that speech and natural language is actually quite an active area for computer science.
