Award Citation:

Dr. Atal is awarded the 2003 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Electrical Engineering in recognition of his important work on voice coding, including the concept of speech analysis-by-synthesis coding, leading to the CELP (Code-excited Linear Predictive) Coder.

The next time you make a call on your cell phone, think of Bishnu Atal, who is internationally recognized for his pioneering work on Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) methods that analyze and synthesize speech signals, which provided not only higher quality digital speech, but also dramatically expanded the benefits of cellular phone technology to millions of users.

His invention reduced the bandwidth required to send high-quality speech signals on narrow-band channels. By reducing the size of the bandwidth, Atal dramatically expanded the carrying capacity of the limited area of the electromagnetic spectrum used by the cellular users.

Atal holds 16 U.S. and numerous international patents in speech processing. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the Signal Processing Society Award and the Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award of the R&D Council of New Jersey.

Born in India, Atal earned his B. S. in physics from the University of Lucknow, India, in 1952; a diploma in electrical communication engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, in 1955; and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, New York in 1968.

Special Issue of
The IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing
On
Speech-to-Speech Machine Translation


Speech-to-Speech Machine Translation (SSMT) is a multidisciplinary research area that addresses one of the most complex problems in speech and language processing. The challenges posed by SSMT have been the subject of several collaborative research projects across universities and laboratories around the world. Over the last decade SSMT has benefited from advances in speech and language processing as well as from the availability of large multilingual databases. These advances have spurred research on statistical machine translation and on exploiting machine translation for cross-lingual information retrieval. There have also been substantial efforts towards automating and evaluating a variety of metrics that are relevant to SSMT systems.

The purpose of this special issue is to present recent advances in Speech-to-Speech Machine Translation. Original, previously unpublished research is sought in all areas relevant to the field. In particular, submissions on theory and methods for the following areas are encouraged:

EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing

Anthropomorphic Processing of Audio and Speech
Call for Papers

Anthropomorphic systems process signals "at the image of man." They are designed to solve a problem in signal processing by imitation of the processes that accomplish the same task in humans. In the area of audio and speech processing, remarkable successes have been obtained by anthropomorphic systems: perceptual audio coding even caused an MP3 hype.

At first sight, it could seem obvious that the performance of audio processing systems should benefit from taking into account the perceptual properties of human audition. For example, front-ends that extract perceptually meaningful features currently show the best results in speech recognizers. However, their features are typically used for a stochastic optimization that is itself not anthropomorphic at all. Thus, it is not obvious why they should perform best, and perhaps the truly optimal features have not yet been found because, after all, "airplanes do not flap their wings."

In general, we believe that there are several situations when an anthropomorphic approach may not be the best solution. First, its combination with nonanthropomorphic systems could result in a suboptimal overall performance (the quantization noise that was cleverly concealed by a perceptual audio coder could become unmasked by subsequent linear or nonlinear processing). Second, other than anthropomorphic approaches might be better adapted to the technology that is chosen for the implementation (airplanes do not flap their wings because it is technically much more efficient to use jet engines for propulsion). Nevertheless, a lot can be learned from imitating natural systems. As such anthropomorphic and, by extension, biomorphic systems can be considered to play an important role in the process of developing new technologies.

The aim of this special issue is to bring together papers from different areas of audio and speech processing that deal with aspects of anthropomorphic processing or in which an anthropomorphic or perceptual approach was taken. Papers with a research nature, review papers, and tutorial papers will be considered, provided that they are unpublished.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Speech and Audio Coding
  • Audio Measurements and Speech Analysis
  • Objective Quality Measures for Audio and Speech
  • Speech Synthesis (Rule-based, Articulatory, ...)
  • Audio Virtual Reality
  • Content-Based Music Search
  • Music and Instrument Recognition
  • Audio Classification and Retrieval
  • Speech and Speaker Recognition

Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the journal site http://asp.hindawi.com/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JASP's manuscript tracking system at http://mts.hindawi.com/asp/, according to the following timetable.

ITU Workshop 

on 

Standardization in Telecommunications for Motor Vehicles

International Telecommunication Union – Telecommunication Standardization Sector is planning to hold a workshop for offering the opportunity to the Automotive and Telecommunication Industries to exchange ideas on the future of communication technologies and standards in motor vehicles http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/telecomauto/index.html. The workshop, planned for 24-25 November 2003, ITU Headquarters, Geneva, will address in particular the resulting needs in telecommunication standardisation. The goal is to create a better understanding between the two industry sectors, and to combine efforts and skills to create standards for the mutual benefit.

Despite extensive work in the field of telematics and other related areas, there has been little effort so far to create standards that allow manufacturers to enjoy a truly open market. The workshop will be a first attempt to bring all interested parties together from around the world to forge standards that will promote innovation and ensure that in-car communication technology moves forward at a rapid pace.

The following areas will be covered by the Workshop:

Area 1: Communications (voice and audiovisual services)
Hands-free kit (built-in or installed after)
Communications inside the vehicle, including voice synthesis and voice recognition
Audiovisual equipment - screens and audio/video equipment (for passengers)
Speech recognition for car control functions
Area 3: Diagnostics and Telematics
Car navigation
Location based services
Integration of mobile equipment into the car infrastructure
Mobile maintenance of cars
Area: 2 Mobile office (data and multimedia services)
What kind of information will be transmitted or exchanged?
Internet access
Future of telematics in motor vehicles
In-vehicle data buses
Entertainment in motor vehicles
Telepayment applications

 

Area: 4 Safety (vehicle and passenger safety, emergency services)
What are the specific needs of ETS (Emergency Telecommunications Services)?
What information needs to be communicated to the emergency services?
Links with telemedicine and experimental psychology
Issues to be solved in relation to frequency allocations for information transmission and the use of radars, and data transmissions between cars (car-to-car communications)
Impact of regulation on the services

Presentations in all areas should focus on: Contacts:
