Subject: [AUDITORY] WiSSAP 2019: Winter School on Speech and Audio Processing From: Neeraj Sharma <neerajww@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2019 23:57:07 +0530 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--000000000000df0763057ef67ec0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear Researchers, I would like to bring to your notice the 14th Winter School on Speech and Audio Processing (WiSSAP) 2019 being held in Trivandrum, India. Link: https://wissap.github.io/2019/ ========== 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. More details are available at https://wissap.github.io/2019/ ============= Invited Speakers: ============= * Dr. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Role of attention mechanisms in listening * Dr. Lori L. Holt, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Understanding how humans interpret the complexity of spoken language * Dr. Ratnavalli Ellajosyula, Manipal Hospital & Annasawmy Mudaliar General Hospital Bilingualism and dementia: The vulnerable second language * Dr. Rajakrishnan Rajkumar, IISER Bhopal Eye movements in the perception of speech and languages * Dr. Jithendra Vepa, Observe AI, Bangalore ASR system design using deep learning * Dr. Deepu Vijayasenan, NIT Surathkal, Karnataka Deep Learning for speaker and language recognition. * Dr. V. Ramasubramanian, IIIT Bangalore Deep Learning: The biology and mathematics beneath * Dr. Chandra S Seelamantula. IISc Bangalore Sparsity and Deep Learning. ============ 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. ============= Best regards, Neeraj Sharma, Postdoctoral Fellow, CMU, Pittsburgh Program Committee Member, WiSSAP 2019 --000000000000df0763057ef67ec0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><div>Dear Researchers,<br></div><div><br>= </div><div>I would like to bring to your notice the 14th Winter School on S= peech and Audio Processing (WiSSAP) 2019 being held in Trivandrum, India.
