About theme:
==========
The theme of WiSSAP 2019 is: "Deep dive into brain and machine perception: Bridging the gap in speech processing". With the advent of techniques to capture sensory signals associated with speech cognition and computational approaches to analyze these signals, curiosity to strengthen our understanding of human speech processing has increased. In this WiSSAP, we will meet to dive deeper into these and related topics, and identify how the insights can aid in design of machine systems for robust speech processing.

About WiSSAP:
============
WiSSAP started in 2006, has become the flagship annual event for the speech and audio research community in India. The who's who of the Indian speech and audio research groups from top research institutes and labs participate in this 3-4 day annual school. It also witnesses participation from budding speech and audio researchers pursuing PhD and Masters.
