good morning ladies and gentlemen my name is one that chernotsky and i serve as co chair of these i guess it's my great pleasure we welcome you here and the only about the program of this morning let me present you the people on the podium but that if F T I was broadcast kind myself are the co chairs of the conference and but the tchaikovsky will present the general chairs message after i'm finished i've also the pleasure to welcome our technical program chair only on one that of a you know and the jonathan chamber i on a real shortly introduce the technical uh program ieee signal processing society the organiser of this conference and it this tradition that ieee S P S it words are presented in this sort of money therefore it's my pleasure to come the following important ieee officers most cover ieee sps president john track were ieee sps vice president president words since membership i'll here ieee director of division nine and thirty granny ieee vice president educational activities the sort money will be around my drum track where the last are isn't that the table is a likes uh a a zero from microsoft research and a like to present the ieee spoken language processing student grow i guess is a forward looking conference but let me take the opportunity to devote it's two thousand eleven addition to the memory of a remarkable there's for a clearly neck was born in a of a i in nineteen thirty two at is the leader of D M speech recognition group and like the preface order at the johns hopkins university he's can see to the founder of statistical speech recognition but is the mean eighteen the domain and wide spread everywhere from research what to commercial road red at close links to the checks peace and match language processing community and after eighty nine he was the man that help us in getting back to the international compact he was on the organising more of these i guess and we are looking for to hear he's critical remarks are now was in his loud check accent english here in prague unfortunately suddenly passed the very last a so please join all in making this i guess attribute to his work thank you this is closing my introductory remarks and but the you ski will continue with general chairs message each but their P Q comes down like this and and uh on behalf of the organising committee i have all come you though i cost two thousand eleven in brock the cup bit though of the czech republic it is and on our and privilege the whole the walls most prestigious technical conference in the field of signal processing organised by to i two E signal processing society um this is the uh the conference attended by some two thousand sixty three experts from fifty eight countries for all five continents but uh_huh on side i just that uh participants are not the content mm thank you all for coming your presence confirms that this is meaningful organise such major events despite several challenges such as carbon dioxide production or what time so that's of das from of all carnal or increased cost compared to small or even when i'm some of them the main benefit is that fits your house we have a to get a and X and technical program which includes fourteen to the of well special sessions and setting X but some monies they should provide and uh mm a fact of what do that if for people to need to get or and show the knowledge and inspire a each other um in the recent years i cost has been how out in the note double C these such as loss like gauss type a and the dollar at a continues this done as it is not only a model sit it was about the a lot infrastructure structure but also uh right sit the H this cultural and historic shows uh_huh it has many buildings and a few dolls which represent master thesis architecture from a the of times but also no S a sit the of music i'm it namely a classical music so we have tried uh to key if you an opportunity to sound but is had a touch as that our social even which will be held out in the of in paris for also might not appreciate a classical music we also have a jazz band and the uh_huh you and those who have not yet bought that the kit can still do so uh registration hmmm now it is my pleasant to do T to thank my colleagues in organising committee for their hard namely on that chernotsky and a last cost a as can not all cultures a lay on a one to of and and to not done champ as technical program chose and everyone else who have how but that that is not enough time to mention second i must thank our partners time i you know hands and texas instruments for that support done dot of sis a novel as such i be M at a size for that the nations for student best a but of ours support support of student at time for of tutorials and uh_huh and the and to be thanks so or X a bit us for training finally it thank all orders so yours and technical are at channels for their are uh_huh i we should all to have enjoyable and memorable stay in power and hope you find i cost two thousand eleven both informative and stimulating this my place a now to invite a on a fund of and four and put a microphone to present an overview of technical program our calm morning we one look and to plug well after have seen all these uh pretty pictures i i'm sure you want to go to uh down turn then see all the things that only life so it's my duty no to convince you to stay site here and enjoy joy all the technical talks so be show you a little bit of what's the what we're going to have yet and and i guess for the regular program if this it the number of submissions this probably as high as ever that's a about three thousand and that's five percent more than last year and ten percent or twelve percent more than two years ago that's that that's rate was it's like low fifty percent so we have about fifteen and that the and that i a pro you've never been at icassp them that we W you little bit about what we do here it's a very brought that rate approximately forty percent of the submissions are in speech and spoken language and audio an acoustic uh processing we have maybe twenty five percent of image processing video multimedia by a from ethics by a uh imaging information for than six and good X twenty percent discovered by signal processing for communications are they processing and the twenty percent but few the "'em" efforts including machine learning and the rest of the submissions are in design implementation but they shouldn't in the C technology and dedication and to wise the use a still dominates although europe as a whole is bigger than uh then that's so that the mount and the just going significantly number two in fact that submissions is china and the before this uh japan but the regulars pitch just to form the core of the program that we be noting but temporal of sessions we on each part of the day five lecture sessions and nine poster sessions are running in parallel the lectures so single B down on that the station level that that behind to and the poster sessions will be one level up where was the exhibition a bit beyond that okay know something about the special features of the program the fall we have for these the really in the morning the first one will be made at the off to you what sort of money a just in the moment and i about this tall the titles of the ah a but not is because you can find them in the in the conference got we have twelve special sessions ranging from finance medical imaging it's at the to secure signal processing as smart it's these are lecture sessions running input parallel with all the other lecture session if that yesterday fourteen tutorials and some in two workshops get spending a wide range of topics musical signal processing wrote of the filters that set to these are you you got that then that i think we had over a six in that if the at and these used to that we also have show and tell sessions these are like to sessions but if interesting hard for the most stations for example you can listen to the real time do you reverberation for hearing it this sessions are next to the post sessions and at any time there are two demos running in but a little and the program is not to integrated is the lectures in the uh both the session then you your programs we have to look at the front part to see which uh special uh uh which show tell sessions so don't running a small i'm have to announce a new feature perhaps not so new then the expert over these or sessions which each of the technical comedy speech and the latest trends in the research which are served in these are S we that's these sessions and unix some forty years ago and then the year after that but since then the what i but this time to set the is a little bit different the scale of during lunch breaks and they're not somebody's of the conference but their visions of what this coming in now when in the future it's technical comedy generally has two experts that give the presentation and it's supposed to be interactive so you can collect them if the wrong what if the forgot to mention you this she's will start tomorrow during lunch and you over fuse will be published later in the signal processing magazine later finally something only you the sentence well they will be menu words later on the this source signal processing society ward but you also have some conference towards i guess board uh these are students paper towards for for the best to student presentation and after pre-selection but a technical comedies is more comedy from the conference that's identified the five best papers and they're listed in the conference guiding which you in case you want to to look which papers they are but they will receive do what's the model doing the bank at session the model you've one putting putting a to mention that the signal processing society that has decided to use part of it's resources tell students and other participants from low income countries to be able to travel to the can in total there are over fifty such travel occurrence so it's quite a significant them finally at like to thank the technical comedy chick a teachers for the help deaf that you don't most of the work in coordinating the views and putting to got to the program thank you when a switch to the word sessions so i invite a jumped right audio good morning ladies gentlemen colleagues and friends my name is john track an and the ieee signal processing society use by president of awards and membership uh is like great pleasure to attend icassp cast with you this week uh the general chairs uh patch or to house key was not sure now ski and at which has got and they're amazing team have the symbol an X and program for you uh it's my privilege to have the ieee

contributions in a field within the scope of the society and i outstanding leadership and that field the a word consists of a and a carry ward uh twenty five hundred dollars this year pardon me it is my honour the year to present the society order to martin better remote okay for fun the contributions the signal processing theory technology and education good morning everybody so i i i i to the existing of to be able to say a few words um so first that would like to thank all my friends it's a signal processing sort D to make use happen as you can guess is the social network and uh so it work uh a it's of course of the extreme a or here to receive the highest all of the signal processing society uh which is my home town for my technical work what i would like really to do is to dedicate just aboard to all my former and current phd students a a which will it great place to work and thanks to whose work i'm actually you're to be thank you room it is a social network martin and i have known each other for uh almost forty here's it's a scary thing oh and a wonderful thing actually yeah okay as most of you know the ieee has a category of awards known as the technical field of war they are typically created through the efforts of an ieee society or a council and recognise an area there's is women the scope of that society the ieee signal processing society worked with the ieee to sound of the ieee james L flanagan speech and audio processing technical field award the society sponsors the ward i would like to well up to the podium al here uh the ieee division and director and to rick running the ieee vice president of educational activities to present the ieee james of flanagan again the speech and audio processing technical field yield or i Q john good morning uh like isn't channel but uh a a director trigger on the and i are uh very pleased to be here today to represent the ieee board of directors in presenting uh this uh i to play james L flanagan speech and audio processing award um the ieee J L in speech and audio processing a is sponsored well the ieee signal process side and recognizing recognises nice is outstanding contributions the the the speech and that war audio signal prof they we're honouring to early a her per as professor in the part Q were science at columbia university new york uh doctor her per as they recognised pioneering contributions in speech synthesis and prosody research joey first burg is an innovator in building viable computational models of human prosody in uh uh uh speech said a goal is to has been to make a human computer interaction in spoken dialog symptom the uh systems more natural and in active she was one of the architects of the and break indices also known as total B uh the this system uh labels you when prosodic contours that a a use in many text speech speech systems and uh widely used and prosody we sir initially a used for intonational description standard american english tell has been extended to other languages um and doctor first berg is also i working a motion all the speech uh on audio browsing and retrieval research both in a a a a techniques to improve audio search and to make a search engines that is audio search and it's more usable uh doctor hurst work is in the ieee senior member oh one of the endorse or is a for this ward right in terms of prosody modeling uh she was among the first to build a usable computational models of human prosody based on knowledge of human speech a language processing and real day or work is had strong influence on most of the current work in this area big applied in many are perhaps most speech synthesis just system like in general then please join me in congratulating the two thousand eleven recipient of the ieee jane's L fighting in speech and audio processing ward julie hersh per while not of formal part a today sir mountie i would like to take just a moment to recognise not to beam but don a long time a member of the signal processing society you happens this year to be the winner of the ieee is a right triple us S A is i'm and toward a a be if you're in the crowd at appreciate if you would stand for just a moment will give you round of applause the in presented for the first time this year is the ieee garnish rum salami in memorial student growing a a guy from a swami memorials student grant find a
