Upcoming Distinguished Lectures – May 2010
.
Information Theoretic Learning: Renyi's Entropy and Kernel Perspectives (2010)
by J. C. Príncipe, Springer, April 2010.
Description from the publisher: This book presents the first cohesive treatment of Information Theoretic Learning (ITL) algorithms to adapt linear or nonlinear learning machines both in supervised or unsupervised paradigms.
Statistical Signal Processing of Complex-Valued Data (2010)
by Peter Schreier and Louis Scharf, Cambridge University Press, 2010.
From the book publisher's description: Complex-valued random signals are embedded in the very fabric of science and engineering, yet the usual assumptions made about their statistical behavior are often a poor representation of the underlying physics.
Doctoral research assistantship jointly at Georgetown University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute
The Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC, jointly with the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), has an one opening for doctoral research assistant.
We are seeking highly qualified and motivated candidates with B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering, bioinformatics, computer science, or related field and relevant experience in signal processing and high dimensional data analysis.
Nomination Period Extended for SPS Regional Director-at-Large
The nomination period for the Regional Director-at-Large positions has been extended until FRIDAY, 23 APRIL 2010. In accordance with the Bylaws of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS), the membership will elect, by direct ballot, ONE Regional Director-at-Large for the corresponding regions: Regions 1-6 (US), Regions 7 and 9 (Canada and Latin America), Region 8 (Europe/Middle East/Africa) and Region 10 (Asia/Pacific Rim) for two-year terms commencing 1 January 2011 and ending 31 December 2012.
THEMES 2011 Request for Proposals
IEEE Thematic Meetings in Signal Processing (THEMES) is a recent joint initiative by the Conference Board and Publication Board of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The inaugural THEMES event was held in March 2010 as a one-day event collocated with ICASSP 2010 in Dallas, Texas. The THEMES 2011 will be held on 22 May 2011 in Prague, Czech Republic, at the Prague Congress Centre.
