During the last couple of months a number of machine learning and signal processing contests have been initiated. Some of those recent ones include a Bosch contest on internal failure prediction and TalkingData aiming at predicting users' demographic characteristics.

Please visit the Conferences and Events page on the IEEE Signal Processing Society website for upcoming Lectures by Distinguished Lecturers.

You may have received an email from Howard E. Michel, IEEE 2015 President and CEO, instructing you to vote FOR the IEEE Constitutional Amendment on this year’s member ballot. As you know, the Board of Governors of our Signal Processing Society has unanimously voted against the amendment. Actually, the governing bodies of the majority of IEEE societies are against it, including the largest ones such as Computer, Communications, and Power and Engineering.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is honored to announce the elevation of 8 of its members to the grade of IEEE Senior Member. These members have demonstrated outstanding professional performance, exhibited professional maturity through long-term experience, and established themselves as leaders in their respective IEEE-designated fields of interest.

IEEE has revised the tagline terminology used on all IEEE digital communications, promotional materials, websites, and mobile apps. Please review and update all existing applications using the new language shown below, including the footer and any other areas of the materials where it may be used. Current: A not-for-profit organization, IEEE is the world's largest professional association for the advancement of technology.

The IEEE Maker Project competition has launched and will run through 17 September 2016. This year, Thomas Coughlin, IEEE Senior member and Chair of the IEEE Public Visibility Committee, will serve as the host of this competition and will be featured in an ongoing video series that will highlight cool projects and events on the contest website. If you’ve been tinkering with a tech project that solves complex problems and has application in the real world, here’s your chance to showcase your work.

At its 18 June 2016 meeting, the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities (MGA) Board approved changing the geographic unit close/end date for prior year financial reporting to the last day of February. This change applies only to the financial reporting deadline. The geographic unit officer reporting and meeting reporting deadlines remain as 15 March, and the bonus deadline remains as the third Friday of February. The rebate algorithm and calculation remain unchanged. This information will be further communicated with all Sections over the next few months.

The IEEE Board of Directors has approved the 2017 IEEE Technical Field Awards including the IEEE James L. Flanagan Speech and Audio Processing Award, the IEEE Fourier Award for Signal Processing, the IEEE Joseph F. Keithley Award in Instrumentation and Measurement, the IEEE Leon K. Kirchmayer Graduate Teaching Award and IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits.
