DESCRIPTION:Dr. Akihiko Sugiyama\, NEC Information and Media Processing La
 bs\nBio: Akihiko Sugiyama (a.k.a. Ken Sugiyama)\, affiliated with NEC Info
 rmation and Media Processing Labs.\, has been engaged in a wide variety of
  research projects in signal processing such as audio coding and interfere
 nce/noise control. His team developed the world's first Silicon Audio in 1
 994\, the ancestor of iPod.\nHe served as Chair of Audio and Acoustic Sign
 al Processing Tech. Committee\, IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) [2011
 -2012]\, as associate editors for several journals such as IEEE Trans. SP 
 [1994-1996]\, as the Secretary and a Member at Large to the Conference Boa
 rd of SPS [2010-2011]\, as a member of the Awards Board of SPS [2015- ]\, 
 and as the Chair of Japan Chapter of SPS [2010-2011]. He was a Technical P
 rogram Chair for ICASSP2012. He has contributed to 16 chapters of books an
 d is the inventor of over 150 registered patents with more pending applica
 tions in the field of signal processing in Japan and overseas.\nHe has rec
 eived 13 awards such as the 2002 IEICE Best Paper Award\, the 2006 IEICE A
 chievement Award\, and the 2013 Ichimura Industry Award. He is Fellow of I
 EEE and IEICE\, and a Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE SPS. He is also know
 n as a big host for a total of over 70 internship students.\nThis lecture 
 presents the 30-year history of audio coding technology. Focusing on MPEG 
 Audio Coding that is the most widely used international standard in our da
 ily life\, some important techniques we contributed are explained along th
 e history. Recent standardization activities are briefly touched to show t
 he unlimited potential of audio coding.\nAn encounter with the Silicon Aud
 io\, developed in 1994 and the real ancestor of iPod\, is the highlight of
  this lecture\, which cannot be experienced elsewhere. The audience will s
 ee how iPod started its function 20 years ago.
