Newsletter - March 2018
Welcome to the IEEE Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee Newsletter.
Spectrum sensing in a large-scale heterogeneous network is very challenging as it usually requires a large number of static secondary users (SUs) to obtain the global spectrum states. To tackle this problem, the paper, entitled Mobile Collaborative Spectrum Sensing for Heterogeneous Networks:...
The field of information theory - dating back to the seminal work by Claude E. Shannon in 1948 - is considered to be one of the landmark intellectual achievements of the 20th century, underpinning advances in compression and communication of data that underpins the information age. In particular, information-theoretic methods have been used to illuminate fundamental limits and gauge the effectiveness of algorithms for various problems in statistical decision theory, data communications, data compression, security, and networking.
This webinar will provide an in-depth survey look into 40 years of cross-disciplinary academic and industrial research and development work on radar tracking systems, starting from the former implementations based on the α – β, the Kalman filter, and up to the modern implementations based on random set filters.

The IEEE SPS Speech and Language Technical Committee (STLC) has 53 elected members to help manage the ICASSP review process and run various aspects of SLTC business; the committee convenes at every ICASSP meeting to discuss SLTC business items and new initiatives. The meeting at ICASSP 2018 was full of information for members.
This year's Interspeech conference took place in Hyderabad. This was the first time for India to host Interspeech and the organizers have done a remarkable job to ensure that it will be remembered as a truly special event. Immediately upon arrival to Rajiv Gandhi airport participants were greeted by volunteers, who promptly escorted delegates to numerous available taxi that took them to many hotels conveniently located in the Hitec area of Hyderabad, where Interspeech was hosted.
The 2018 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2018) was held on April 15-20, 2018 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
