Activities in IEEE Signal Processing Society

Mathews has been very active in the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). He was the Vice President (Finance) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society during 2003-2005 and the Vice President (Conferences) of the Society during 2009-2011. As VP-Finance, he inherited a deficit budget from prior years and managed three consecutive years of balanced budgets while allocating substantial resources to improve and increase the Society’s publication activities. As VP-Conferences, he was instrumental in creating reduced conference rate structures for SPS members and student members, as well as working closely with the Publication Board to align the missions of the conferencing and publication activities of the Society. As VP-Conferences, he contributed substantially to the globalization of SPS. The Society’s flagship conferences, IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) and IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), were held or approved to be held in ten different countries on five different continents during his tenure.

Signal processing models and analyzes data representations of physical events

Signal processing is a subfield of electrical engineering that concerns the analysis, synthesis, and modification of signals, which are broadly defined as functions conveying "information about the behavior or attributes of some phenomenon", such as sound, images, and biological measurements. For example, signal processing techniques are used to improve signal transmission fidelity, storage efficiency, and subjective quality, and to emphasize or detect components of interest in a measured signal.

Warped linear predictive coding is a variant of linear predictive coding in which the spectral representation of the system is modified, for example by replacing the unit delays used in an LPC implementation with first-order allpass filters. This can have advantages in reducing the bitrate required for a given level of perceived audio quality/intelligibility, especially in wideband audio coding.

In signal processing, a kernel adaptive filter is a type of nonlinear adaptive filter. An adaptive filter is a filter that adapts its transfer function to changes in signal properties over time by minimizing an error or loss function that characterizes how far the filter deviates from ideal behavior. The adaptation process is based on learning from a sequence of signal samples and is thus an online algorithm. A nonlinear adaptive filter is one in which the transfer function is nonlinear.
