On June 10, 2023, EASIER consortium members together with DePaul University (USA) and EQ4ALL (Korea) organized the 8th edition of a full-day workshop on Sign Language Translation and Avatar Technology (SLTAT 2023). The goal of this satellite workshop of the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2023) was to bring together researchers engaged in sign language translation with those who develop sign language avatar technologies.
The workshop was a great success having gathered over 170 registered participants from around the world. Among the 25 accepted submissions, eight were authored by authors associated with EASIER.
About ICASSP
ICASSP is a major event on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing and the flagship conference of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). The 48th ICASSP was the first post-pandemic edition, celebrating the return to an in-person experience and the 75th anniversary of SPS. The main theme of this year’s edition was “Signal Processing in the AI era,” promoting the creative synergy between signal processing and machine learning.
ICASSP 2023 has offered a comprehensive technical program with more than 300 oral and poster sessions, complemented by plenaries and perspective talks, tutorials, panels, exhibitions and demonstrations, as well as industry workshops. The unprecedented increase in the number of submissions and participants clearly reflected the central role of signal processing in the modern era, both in academia and industry, and the importance of the SPS community in the development and success of AI.
