The IEEE Signal Processing Society 2005 Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop (ASRU2005) was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico from November 27 to December 2, 2005. It was an exciting process to move the venue from the original venue which was to have been Cancun after hurricane Wilma flattened much of the coast. |

Our interest is in mapping user interface functions that are easy to perform on a desk-top computer with high resolution display and keyboard to small wireless mobile devices with small displays and limited input modalities. |  |
| This work has included several research areas. These include developing continuous unsupervised techniques for reconfiguring acoustic models to a given device, to a given user, and given environment. It also includes the development of efficient client-server communications frameworks to support large populations of users of mobile ASR services. Finally, we have investigated the use of finite state networks to invoke task constraints in combining user responses in ASR applications. We have developed and evaluated a framework that supports hundreds of users, and have implemented prototype services on Compaq Ipaq handheld devices connected over IEEE 802.11 networks. |  |

I was the founding editor of the IEEE
Signal
Processing Society Speech Technical Committee Newsletter. It contains
announcements for STC related events, employment opportunites, and
information about the activities of the STC. We invite anyone to
contribute announcements of any kind that they think would be of
interest to the community. A more current archive of current and
past STC newsletters can be found here. |

We gave a tutorial on ASR for wireless mobile devices at ICSLP2002 that was held in Denver, Colorado in September of 2002. We gave an updated version of the tutorial at the Rutgers CAIP Lab on April 1, 2003. |
