The 2023 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA 2023) will be held at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York, and is supported by the Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing technical committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). The objective of the workshop is to provide an informal environment for the discussion of problems in audio, acoustics and signal processing techniques leading to novel solutions. Technical sessions will be scheduled throughout the day. Afternoons will be left free for informal meetings among workshop participants. As part of a focus on diversity and inclusion, increased travel grant support will be awarded in partnership with the IEEE SPS and the IEEE Foundation Student and Young Professionals (SYP) Fund on the basis of SYP eligibility, diversity & inclusion eligibility, financial need, and authorship. Papers describing original research are solicited on, but not limited to, the topics of interest.
Submission of Papers
Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers, with up to four pages for technical content including figures and references, and one optional 5th page of references only. The review process for this year will be double-blind.
