About WiSSAP:
The series of Winter School on Speech and Audio Processing provides a regular forum for research students, faculty and R & D engineers working in these areas to enhance their background and simplify the intricate research aspects involved in these areas. The schools work on a non-profit basis and hope to provide a platform for a qualitative exchange of ideas for utilizing speech technology in the Indian context. WiSSAP-10 is the fifth one in the series, following the very successful WiSSAP-06, WiSSAP-07 ,WiSSAP-08 and WiSSAP-09.
WiSSAP 2010
The focus is on Audio Content Analysis and Retrieval. While information extraction from written text is routinely done by search engines, access to information in other media (audio, images, video) is still very difficult. Audio search and retrieval is fast becoming one of the central problems for audio researchers around the world. On the first day of the School, lectures given by active researchers from within India will cover the fundamentals of these topics. Over the next three days, invited overseas speakers will cover in depth the theory, applications and practical aspects of audio content analysis and description, as well as building large-scale retrieval systems. In addition, there will be evening sessions for presentations from sponsors, interaction with experts and discussions on open problems in this area.
WiSSAP-10 is targeted mainly towards post-graduate students, faculty in educational institutions and scientists / researchers in research labs / industry.
WiSSAP-10 is being organized by Department of Electrical Engineering , IIT Bombay .
