SPS Webinar: 4 May 2022, presented by Dr. Christos Masouros, Dr. Fan Liu, Dr. J. Andrew Zhang
This webinar, part of the new IEEE JSTSP webinar series on recent special issues (Sis), will overview the Joint Communication and Radar Sensing (JCR) for Emerging Applications. The webinar will start with a brief motivation of the area of JCR, followed by a summary of the technical papers that appear in the SI.
SPS Webinar: 12 April 2022, by Dr. Hengtao He - "Model-Driven Deep Learning for MIMO Detection"
In this talk, we investigate the model-driven deep learning for multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) detection. In particular, the MIMO detector is specially designed by unfolding an iterative algorithm and adding some trainable parameters.
SPS Webinar: 25 March 2022, by Dr. Kaiming Shen - "Fractional Programming for Communication Systems"
In this talk, we discuss a new transform technique for solving fractional programming (FP), i.e., a family of optimization problems with ratio terms. The classic FP techniques such as the Charnes-Cooper and Dinkelbach’s methods typically deal with a single ratio, and in general, do not work for multiple ratios.
IEEE SPS-DSI Webinar: 17 February 2022, by Dr. Alexander Jung
Many important application domains generate distributed collections of heterogeneous local datasets. These local datasets are related via an intrinsic network structure that arises from domain-specific notions of similarity between local datasets. Networked federated learning aims at learning a tailored local model for each local dataset.
SPS Webinar: 24 February 2022, by Dr. Samet Akcay - Recent Advances of Deep Learning within X-ray Security Imaging
X-ray security screening is widely utilized in aviation and transportation, and its importance has sparked interest in automated screening systems. The goal of this webinar is to explore computerized X-ray security imaging methods by classifying them into traditional machine learning and modern deep learning applications.
SPS Webinar: 26 January 2022, by Dr. Ba-Ngu Vo - Bayesian Multi-object Tracking: Probability Hypothesis Density Filter and Beyond
In his seminal paper, Dr. Ronald Mahler not only developed the Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter, but also detailed the Random Finite Set (RFS) framework for multi-object systems. These complex dynamical systems, in which the number of objects and their states are unknown and vary randomly with time, have a wide range of applications from surveillance, computer vision, robotics to biomedical research.
SPS Webinar, 20 December 2021: Infinite-Dimensional Expansion for Sound Field Estimation with Application to Spatial Audio
Sound field estimation using a microphone array is a fundamental problem in acoustic signal processing, which has a wide variety of applications, such as visualization/auralization of an acoustic field, spatial audio reproduction using a loudspeaker array or headphones, and active noise cancellation in a spatial region.
SPS Webinar: 10 December 2021: Image Fusion with Convolutional Sparse Representation
As a popular signal modeling technique, sparse representation (SR) has achieved great success in image fusion during the last decade. However, due to the patch-based manner adopted in standard SR models, most existing SR-based image fusion methods suffer from two drawbacks, namely, limited ability in detail preservation and high sensitivity to mis-registration, while these two issues are of great concern in image fusion.

The IEEE DataPort Data Competition Contest is Now Open
Data Competitions are a great way to engage the global technical community to provide insight and analysis on your research data. IEEE DataPort is holding its inaugural Data Competition contest. As part of the contest, IEEE DataPort will select three Data Competitions to sponsor, providing $5000 in cash prizes for the winners of the three selected Data Competitions.
