APSIPA 2025 – International Forum on Signal and Information Processing Held at IUH 28-07-2025

In the context of continuous advancements in information technology and artificial intelligence (AI), the field of signal and information processing is undergoing profound transformations, accompanied by new opportunities and challenges. Emerging technologies such as deep learning, image and audio processing, and intelligent communication systems are reshaping approaches to traditional technical problems and paving the way for groundbreaking applications in healthcare, industry, and daily life.

IUH representatives, including the University Board of Rectors, the Office of Science Management and International Cooperation, and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Technology, presented thank-you letters to the keynote speakers.

The conference was honored by the presence of Prof. Woon-Seng Gan – President of APSIPA; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Canh Minh – Vice President and General Secretary of the Radio-Electronics Association of Vietnam; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Huynh Trung Hieu – Vice Rector of IUH; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trinh Ngoc Nam – Head of the Office of Science Management and International Cooperation, along with leaders from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Technology and numerous experts, lecturers, researchers, and students in the field.

At the plenary session, participants heard in-depth reports from renowned international scholars, including:

  • Prof. Woon-Seng Gan (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore): "Spatial Audio Intelligence: From Representation to Understanding and Control of Auditory Environments"
  • Prof. Tatsuya Kawahara (Kyoto University, Japan): "Making a Robot to Communicate with Social Signals"
  • Prof. Toshihisa Tanaka (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Japan): "Decoding and Synthesizing Speech from ECoG Using Transformer-Based Models"
  • Prof. Ho Pham Huy Anh (Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology – VNU): "Online Adaptive Neural Observer for Prescribed Performance Hyper-Chaotic Systems"
  • Assoc. Prof. Bonnie Law (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University): "Source Camera Identification in Image Forensics"

In addition to the plenary session, two specialized sub-sessions featured 10 scientific presentations, focusing on emerging research directions such as:

  • Biomedical signal and image processing: AI in medical imaging diagnostics, ultrasound image enhancement, vascular motion analysis;
  • Artificial Intelligence & Deep Learning: Application of representation learning models, Transformers, and CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks) for information extraction, medical data analysis, and health index prediction;
  • Sensor systems and embedded devices: Presentations included advanced technologies such as single-pixel imaging systems, compressed data cameras, and smart devices integrated with FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays).

These presentations provided not only academic value but also sparked lively discussions. Many attendees and experts engaged in direct Q&A and feedback sessions with the speakers, creating an open and insightful academic exchange. These discussions helped clarify technical aspects and affirmed the relevance and applicability of the presented research, particularly in addressing real-world challenges in signal and information processing.

APSIPA, founded in 2009, aims to promote research, education, and knowledge sharing in signal processing, information, and communications. Its annual summit and conference (APSIPA-ASC) has previously been held in major cities like Sapporo, Singapore, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Chiang Mai, Taipei, and Macau. This year marks the first time the event was hosted by IUH, following the success of APSIPA 2024 at Hanoi University of Industry.

During his speech at the conference, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Canh Minh, Vice President and General Secretary of the Radio-Electronics Association of Vietnam, expressed his admiration for IUH's vision and motto: "Innovative thinking, enriching knowledge – enriching life," and for the Faculty of Electronics' guiding principle: "Innovation for new heights – Dynamism for global integration." He also emphasized IUH's crucial role in connecting Vietnam's academic ecosystem with the global research community, highlighting the University leadership's bold decision to host a regional-level event such as APSIPA.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Huynh Trung Hieu – Vice Rector of IUH – expressed his gratitude to the experts and delegates attending the international conference.

The successful organization of the APSIPA 2025 International Conference on Signal and Information Processing once again affirms IUH's position as a prestigious academic destination in the region. It shows the university's professional capacity, its ability to engage in international scholarly collaboration, and its strong commitment to supporting the global research community. IUH is not only a center for high-quality human resource development but also a hub of knowledge dissemination, where advanced academic values converge, contributing to the sustainable development of science and technology in Vietnam.

This year's event marks the 14th edition of the APSIPA annual conference. According to the plan, the next summit will take place in Shangri-La, Singapore, from October 22–24, 2025, continuing its mission to connect knowledge across the region and the world.
