Yashish Siriwardena and Ahmed Adel Attia present their papers at ICASSP 2023

SCL graduate students Yashish Siriwardena and Ahmed Adel Attia attended IEEE ICASSP 2023 in the Greek island of Rhodes. Siriwardena (left) presented a poster about his paper The Secret Source: Incorporating Source Features to Improve Acoustic-To-Articulatory Speech Inversion and Attia (right) presented a poster about his paper Masked Autoencoders are Articulatory Learners. Yashish also presented a poster showcasing his thesis research in the Rising Stars Workshop which aims to highlight final-year Ph.D. students and postdocs who are at the forefront of research and innovation in the field of signal processing.
