A quick guide to Amazon’s 50-plus ICASSP papers 2022

Topics range from the predictable, such as speech recognition and signal processing, to time series forecasting and personalization.

Amazon researchers have more than 50 papers at this year’s International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP). A plurality of them are on automatic speech recognition and related topics, such as keyword spotting and speaker identification. But others range farther afield, to topics such as computer vision and federated learning.
