Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) has been proven to be a valuable source of diagnostic information concerning heart health. One application, myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification using first-pass contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion, has aided the detection of coronary artery disease and provides an accurate evaluation of myocardial ischemia, an identifier of coronary artery stenosis.
Speaker age and gender classification is one of the most challenging problems in speech processing. Recently with developing technologies, identifying a speaker age and gender has become a necessity for speaker verification and identification systems such as identifying suspects in criminal cases, improving human-machine interaction, and adapting music for awaiting people queue.
In patent no 9,852,740 a high quality speech is reproduced with a small data amount in speech coding and decoding for performing compression coding and decoding of a speech signal to a digital signal.
So much of our daily lives are powered by signal processing technologies. They go unnoticed mostly because that’s the purpose – to help our lives run more seamlessly, with little to no impact. For example, you’re probably reading this blog on your computer. Guess what? Signal processing is responsible for your computer’s ability to store data and run smoothly.
Our heartiest congratulations to Mari Ostendorf, winner of the 2017 SPS Meritorious Service Award “for exemplary service to and leadership in the Signal Processing Society.” Mari’s service to SPS has included membership many SPS committees, including the Speech Processing Technical Committee (1990-93), the SPS DSP Education Committee (1992-93), the SPS Awards Committee (2009, 2015) and the SPS Awards Board (2015-2016), the SPS Executive Committee (2012-2014). She also served on the SPS Board of Governors (2009-2014) and was Vice President for Publications for SPS (2012-2014).&nb
The 2017 IEEE Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop (ASRU 2017) was held on December 16-20, 2017 in Okinawa, a southern island of Japan.
The workshop gathered the record number of participants (271 registrations, 48% from industry and 47% from academia). The workshop featured 4 keynote speech and 6 invited talks, some of which are outlined in more detail below.
This April at ICASSP, Alejandro (Alex) Acero will receive the Society Award from IEEE Signal Processing Society for "contributions to speech technology and leadership in the signal processing community." The Society Award is the highest honor awarded by the Signal Processing Society, and it honors members who have demonstrated both outstanding technical contributions in the signal processing field and outstanding leadership to the society.
