Dr. Keikichi Hirose received Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering in 1977 from the University of Tokyo. He was a professor at the University of Tokyo from 1994. In 2015, he retired from the University of Tokyo, and was received Professor of Emeritus title.  He also has been a visiting professor of National Institute of Informatics from 2015, and served as a project professor during June 2019 - March 2023.  From March 1987 to January 1988, he was Visiting Scientist at the Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, U.S.A.  He has been engaged in a wide range of research on spoken language processing, including analysis, synthesis, recognition, dialogue systems and computer-assisted language learning. From 2000 to 2004, he was a principal investigator of the national project “Realization of advanced spoken language information processing utilizing prosodic features,” supported by the Japanese Government. He served as the general chair for INTERSPEECH 2010, Makuhari, Japan.  During 2010 - 2018, he served as the chair of ISCA Special Interest Group on Speech Prosody (SProSIG).  Also, he served as a board member of ISCA during 2009-2017.  He is a member of International Advisory Council of ISCA from January 2021.   He received ISCA fellow grade in 2018.  He became an honorary member, Polish Phonetic Association, in 2013.  For his long-term and remarkable contribution to spoken language processing, he received Achievement Award from Acoustical Society of Japan in 2020.  In 2015, he was honored as a Named Person of Merit in Science and Technology by the Mayor of Tokyo.  He published more than 100 journal papers and more than 380 conference papers. Dr. Deepak Joshi is currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering, at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), Surat, Gujarat, India. He obtained his doctoral degree from IIT Guwahati in the area of Microelectronics and VLSI Design. His areas of research include the design and optimization of analog circuits, CAD for VLSI Design, and Metaheuristics. Dr. Shankha Sanyal is a Ph.D. in the field of Cognitive Neurophysics from Sir C.V. Raman Centre for Physics and Music, Jadavpur University. He completed Graduation and Post-Graduation in Physics from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. He is currently a post-doctoral research associate at the School of Languages and Linguistics, Jadavpur University. His primary research interest currently revolves around studying the acoustical and neural manifestations of speech and music signals using state-of-the-art signal processing algorithms. He has published in more than 25 peer-reviewed international journal papers and more than 100 conference papers including a book from Springer. He is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, Asiatic Society, Kolkata as well as a reviewer of several international journals such as Frontiers in Neuroscience, Cognitive Neurodynamics. He has been part of the Organizing and Program of FRSM conference series since 2015.
