2014 IEEE SPS AWARDS PRESENTED

IN BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

The IEEE SPS congratulates the following

SPS members who will receive the Society’s

prestigious awards during ICASSP 2015 in

Brisbane, Australia, 19–24 April 2015.

The Society Award honors outstanding

technical contributions in a field within

the scope of the IEEE SPS and outstand-

ing leadership within that field. The Soci-

ety Award comprises a plaque, a certifi-

cate, and a monetary award of US$2,500.

It is the highest-level award bestowed by

the IEEE SPS. This year’s recipient is K.J.

Ray Liu, “for influential technical contri-

butions and profound leadership impact.”

The IEEE Signal Processing Magazine

Best Paper Award honors the author(s) of an

article of exceptional merit and broad inter-

est on a subject related to the Society’s tech-

nical scope and appearing in the Society’s

magazine. The prize comprises US$500 per

author (up to a maximum of US$1,500 per

award) and a certificate. In the event that

there are more than three authors, the max-

imum prize shall be divided equally among

all authors and each shall receive a certifi-

cate. This year, the IEEE Signal Processing

Magazine Best Paper Award recipients are

Sergios Theodoridis, Konstantinos Slavakis,

and Isao Yamada for their article “Adaptive

Learning in a World of Projections: A Unify-

ing Framework for Linear and Nonlinear

Classification and Regression Tasks,” pub-

lished in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine,

vol. 28, no. 1, Jan. 2011.

The IEEE Signal Processing Magazine

Best Column Award honors the author(s)

of a column of exceptional merit and broad

interest on a subject related to the Soci-

ety’s technical scope and appearing in the

Society’s magazine. The prize shall consist

of US$500 per author (up to a maximum

of US$1,500 per award) and a certificate. In

the event that there are more than three

authors, the maximum prize shall be di-

vided equally among all authors and each

shall receive a certificate. This year, the

IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Best

Column Award recipients are Göran

Bergqvist and Erik G. Larsson for their ar-

ticle “The Higher-Order Singular Value

Decomposition: Theory and an Applica-

tion,” published in IEEE Signal Processing

Magazine, vol. 27, no. 3, May 2010.

Two Technical Achievement Awards

will be presented this year. Moeness G.

Amin will receive the award “for funda-

mental contributions to signal processing

algorithms for communications, satellite

navigations, and radar imaging.” Richard

G. Baraniuk will be recognized “for con-

tributions to the theory and applications

of sparsity and compressive sensing.” The

Technical Achievement Award honors a

person who, over a period of years, has

made outstanding technical contribu-

tions to theory and/or practice in techni-

cal areas within the scope of the Society,

as demonstrated by publications, patents,

or recognized impact on this field. The

prize for the award is US$1,500, a plaque,

and a certificate.

The Meritorious Service Award is pre-

sented this year to V. John Mathews “for

exemplary service to and leadership in the

IEEE Signal Processing Society.” The

award comprises a plaque and a certificate;

judging is based on dedication, effort, and

contributions to the Society.

The SPS Education Award honors ed-

ucators who have made pioneering and

significant contributions to signal pro-

cessing education. Judging is based on a

career of meritorious achievement in sig-

nal processing education as exemplified

by writing of scholarly books and texts,

course materials, and papers on educa-

tion; inspirational and innovative teach-

ing; and creativity in the development of

new curricula and methodology. The

award comprises a plaque, a monetary

award of US$1,500, and a certificate. The

recipient of the SPS Education Award is

Sergios Theodoridis, “for sustained con-

tributions to education in the area of ma-

chine learning for signal processing.”

The Sustained Impact Paper Award

honors the author(s) of a journal article of

broad interest that has had sustained im-

pact over many years on a subject related

to the Society’s technical scope. The prize

consists of US$500 per author (up to a

maximum of US$1,500 per award) and a

certificate. In the event that there are

more than three authors, the maximum

prize shall be divided equally among all

authors and each shall receive a certifi-

cate. To be eligible for consideration, a pa-
