International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) 2023

Apple is sponsoring the International Conference on Acoustics, Signal Processing, and Speech (ICASSP), which will take place in person from June 4-10 on the island of Rhodes, Greece. ICASSP is the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s flagship conference on signal processing and its applications. Below is the schedule of Apple-sponsored workshops and events at ICASSP 2023.

Manifestation

Contextual understanding in Siri

This is a demonstration of the context-aware technology included in Siri. Users can refer to a previously mentioned entity using anaphoras or nominal ellipses, refer to an on-screen entity, or correct a previous Siri or user error. Context Understanding for Siri takes advantage of several back-end ML solutions, such as query rewrite and reference resolution. This work is a step towards having more natural conversations with Siri and shipped in iOS 16.

All ICASSP attendees are invited to stop by the Apple booth (booth number 16, located next to the main entrance of the Dome Bar at the Rodos Palace Luxury Convention Resort) to experience this demo in person.

Thanks

Tatiana Likhomanenko, Arnav Kundu, Stefan Braun, Vikram Mitra, and Pawel Swietojanski are reviewers for ICASSP 2023.

Yannis Stylianou is Chairman of Short Courses and Seasonal Schools for ICASSP 2023.
