As every year, this past November saw the election of new members to the Speech and Language Technical Committee to take the places of those whose 3-year terms are coming to an end. SLTC membership is grouped by subject area, and in this year’s election (for the 2017-2019 term) we had 17 openings in 8 areas. Current members are eligible to run for a consecutive term once.

This welcome message marks the start of the new year and comes at the tail end of a several months long busy period of the SLTC. First of all, there is the yearly election cycle, carefully administered by our election sub-committee. Please join me in thanking 12 member who retired their position at the end of 2016: Tomoki Toda, Gernot Kubin, Maurizio Omologo, Nicholas Evans, Larry Heck, Peder Olsen, Frank Seide, Mark Hasegawa-Johnson, Deep Sen, Svetlana Stoyanchev, Jasha Droppo and George Saon. And please join me in welcoming the class of 2019.

Kush R. Varshney, research staff member and manager in the Data Science Group at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
Communication, speech processing, seismology and radar are well-known applications of signal processing that contribute to the betterment of humanity. But is there a more direct way that signal and information processing can reduce poverty, hunger, inequality, injustice, ill health and other causes of human suffering?

A self-proclaimed “scholar in the making,” SPS Student Member Sean Young credits his growth in the field to his time with the Society. From connecting with like-minded individuals to attending conferences, Sean recognizes the impact it’s had on his career and his research. To kick off Engineers Week (running from February 19-25, 2017), we spoke with Sean about his journey with SPS, his future in the field, and what advice he’d offer to those just getting started.

How would you feel if electronic devices could recognize your emotion and take actions based on it? They could cheer you up with a joke when you are sad. They’d recognize sleepiness while you were driving, and help you understand if a person was in real pain or just claiming to be. They could differentiate the Duchenne smile from the forced one or detect depression using facial muscle movements. These applications aren’t promises of the future: they’re possible today with recent developments in signal processing and machine learning algorithms.
