With the rapid progress of recent years, techniques that generate and manipulate multimedia content can now provide a very advanced level of realism. The boundary between real and synthetic media has become very thin.

As the most widely-used spatial filtering approach for multi-channel signal separation, beamforming extracts the target signal arriving from a specific direction. We present an emerging approach based on multi-channel complex spectral mapping, which trains a deep neural network (DNN) to directly estimate the real and imaginary spectrograms of the target signal from those of the multi-channel noisy mixture.

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for future wireless communications. Owing to its remarkable capability in reshaping the propagation environment, IRS has a great potential to boost spectral efficiency, mitigate interference, and enhance physical security. 

The Audio Engineering Society (AES), the IEEE Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc), and the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) cordially invite you to a first-of-a-kind joint event discussing the state of the art perspectives in this rapidly evolving field.

This webinar presents ‘Tapestry’, a single-round pooled testing method with application to COVID-19 testing using quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) that can result in shorter testing time and conservation of reagents and testing kits, at clinically acceptable false positive or false negative rates.

With the blooming of AI and machine-learning-based data-hungry applications and services, managing personal data and ensuring data privacy and security have become critical challenges.

This SPS webinar will introduce a novel data-driven cooperative localization and location data processing framework, called FedLoc, in line with the emerging machine learning and optimization techniques.
