SPS President-Elect Visits China

From 12-18 July 2015, SPS President-Elect Rabab Ward visited China to provide support and expand outreach efforts to our quickly-expanding Region 10 membership base. In particular, Dr. Ward engaged with SPS’ newest conference, ChinaSIP, as well as connected with SPS Chapters in Beijing and Chengdu to discuss membership development, member services, and explore better ways to better serve SPS members and Chapters.From 12-18 July 2015, SPS President-Elect Rabab Ward visited China to provide support and expand outreach efforts to our quickly-expanding Region 10 membership base.

What should we learn from...Memories in the Future of Information Processing

In our “What should we learn from… ” series we report a special issue of the Proceedings of the IEEE in August, Memories in the Future of Information Processing aiming to explore memories and information processing multidimensionally. It covers the subject of memory in its multitudinous forms in circuits and systems.

Object Recognition for Robots

John Leonard’s group in the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering specializes in SLAM, or simultaneous localization and mapping, the technique whereby mobile autonomous robots map their environments and determine their locations.

Contests in Signal Processing and Machine Learning

During the last couple of months, a number of machine learning and signal processing contests have recently finished and the final rankings have been announced.

Privacy in the Era of Surveillance: Lifting up the Doormat

On July 6 a technical study titled: Keys Under Doormats: Mandating Insecurity by Requiring Government Access to All Data and Communications has been published. The scientists behind this work are more than domain experts. Among the others: Steven M. Bellovin known for his work in the encrypted keys exchange; Josh Benaloh who invented the Benaloh cryptosystem; Matt Blaze who worked on cryptographic files systems; Whitfield Diffie universally known as one the pioneers of public key cryptography; Peter G. Neumann who worked on Provably Secure Operative Systems; Ronald L. Rivest who is “R” in RSA; Jeffrey I. Schiller known for being one of the creator of Kerberos and Bruce Schneier one the biggest expert in security and cryptography.

Odyssey 2016: The Speaker and Language Recognition Workshop: First Call for Papers

The general themes of the conference include speaker and language recognition and characterization.

Video of the month: SPS Video Series - MLSP Video

Signal processing applications surround us and the technologies we interact with. And while signal processing is one of the most pervasive fields of engineering, it is also one of the least understood. In an effort to increase awareness about signal processing, SPS has been working on a series of videos to explain elemental signal processing technologies and applications.

2016 IEEE Technical Field Award Recipients

Each year, IEEE recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions or exercised leadership within IEEE-designated technical areas. The Signal Processing Society is honored to announce five of its members as recipients of the 2016 IEEE Technical Field Awards: IEEE James L.
