Well deserved recognition to Prof. Shrikanth Narayanan. Advanced speech communication technologies can unlock more creative applications if we prioritize and trust in human-centric approaches as the driving force behind their development. At Behavioral Signals , the relentless pursuit to advance tonal voice analytics has led to some amazing achievements in solving business challenges of #CX and #conversationalAI. More important, the use cases are impressive beyond CX in overall deepfake analytics and fraudBot detections, and in better understanding of employee wellness and burnouts.

The VASSAL project was recently showcased at the 16th Alpine Verification Meeting (AVM'24) hosted by the University of Freiburg, Germany. AVM is an annual gathering of researchers and PhD students from the Alpine region, focusing on current challenges in formal verification. This year's event offered a platform for open discussions, short presentations, and networking! At the recent AVM'24, our team showcased our latest research and explored new collaboration opportunities with partners from TU Vienna. Our work addresses four critical challenges in SW engineering: 1) Logics and Automata 2) Model-Based Design, Analysis, and Synthesis 3) Automated Analysis and Verification at the Source Code Level 4) Economic assessment and implications 🔗https://lnkd.in/eUica92S

New Technology Review Series of Articles The IEEE North Jersey Section Education Committee inaugurates a new series of approachable technical and tutorial articles on existing and emerging technologies. This technology review series will cover a wide set of topics that bridge  the broader interest themes of IEEE members and more specifically topics from the individual chapters. The articles will appear monthly in the newsletter with a title and abstract of the full article. Authors will produce a longer form article, linked to the abstract, so interested readers can click through to read the entire tutorial. The pace of articles will attempt to match the publication schedule of the section's newsletter. The articles will be archived with the newsletters: https://lnkd.in/e4Y-Z-3W Contact with specific questions you have about this effort. The impetus for this technology review series and the  first short article can be found in the last 2024 issue here:   https://lnkd.in/emB39n8x

Advanced Packaging and Heterogenous Integration are critical to shaping the semiconductors of tomorrow. Please join me and other experts for the President's Panel on the Challenges in Workforce Development on Friday (5/31) Morning at 8am at IEEE #ECTC in Denver, CO. Throughout our Workforce Development Blog series in 2023, SRC discussed the dire shortfall in science and engineering talent. We are uniquely positioned to talk about successful, scalable ways to nurture the brilliant talent that fuels the semiconductor industry. The SRC Talent Factory, which produces Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate students, prepared nearly 20% of all semiconductor-related PhD degrees in 2021. The SRC MAPT Roadmap's Chapter 11 covers this and much more which we can discuss at this interactive panel. https://lnkd.in/ei6x-jVa Semiconductor Research Corporation #srcorg #connectinginnovators #maptroadmap #workforcedevelopment

Quite some time ago Indian mathematicians introduced the notion of the number 0. It took the world's mathematicians quite some time until they concluded that this might be a useful concept. Not so long ago the notion of matrices which may exhibit dimensions to be zero were introduced. It took Mathworks a bit of time to conclude that this might be a useful concept. They changed internal structures in Matlab to allow handling matrices with dimensions such as [0x0] or [0xc] or [rx0] without creating an error. In Matlab you can create a simple example by typing A = ones(0,5); The book "Time-variant and Quasi-separable Systems" contains a justification for zero-dimensional matrices based on a consistent theory of time-variant systems. This includes an extension of the rules for matrix multiplication to create consistent results. I am not sure if the introduction of zero-dimensional matrices will have an impact comparable to the introduction of the number 0. Time will tell :-)
