Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States after skin cancer. MRI has been proven to be highly sensitive to breast cancer however it suffers from moderate specificity, resulting in an increased number of false positive.
Postdoctoral Fellow Machine Learning
The University of Texas at San Antonio is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to be part of an interdisciplinary research alliance (Cognition and Neuroergonomics Collaborative Research Alliances (CNACTA)) working to develop data analysis and management methods and tools for mobile brain/body imaging data in support of a research program in neuroergonomics (the study of the brain and body at work).
Member-Driven Initiatives – Funding Available
Overview The Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has allocated $40,000 for Member-Driven Initiatives for the 2014 calendar year. The funding is open to all Signal Processing Society members, Chapters and Committees. All proposals must include the involvement of one or more local Chapters to encourage geographic development. Allocation of funds will be competitive. Access the application here.
Postdoctoral Research Associate/Research Fellow in Optical Signal Processing
The Centre for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) group at the University of Sydney currently has a vacancy for an experienced researcher in the field of optical signal processing for coherent communication systems working in the Terabit per Second (Tb/S) flagship project.
IEEE Special Technical Community on Social Network E-Letter
Since Feburary 2013, IEEE Special Technical Community on Social Network (STCSN) has launched its E-letter on social network related projects and researches every three months on the website (http://stcsn.ieee.net/e-letter).
The aim of the STCSN E-Letter is to provide timely updates on recent developments, hot research topics, and society news in the area of social networking.
The Inaugural Signal Processing Cup at ICASSP 2014
The aim of the Signal Processing Cup (SP Cup) competition is to provide undergraduate students with an opportunity to form teams and work together to solve a challenging and interesting real-world problem using signal-processing techniques and methods. The inaugural event was held on 8 May 2014, at ICASSP2014, Florence, Italy. Three teams were selected to present their work for the final competition, and the prizes were awarded at the conference.
News from the Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing (AASP)-TC
The Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing (AASP) Technical Committee promotes the advancement of technologies and applications in audio and acoustic signal processing and enhances interaction with similar organizations within IEEE and throughout the world.
Special Interest Groups
Last year, the SPS Board of Governors approved the creation of Special Interest Groups. Special Interest Groups are provisional groups that are created to quickly address emerging technical areas.
Nominations Open for 2014 Major SPS Awards
The SPS Awards Board is now accepting nominations for 2014 major SPS awards. Each year, SPS honors outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions related to signal processing through the Society Award, the Technical Achievement Award, the Education Award, and the Meritorious Service Award.
