DESCRIPTION:About the IEEE SPS Seasonal School\n\nThe 2025 Cycle 2 IEEE Sig
 nal Processing Society (SPS) Seasonal School on “Future Perspectives in 
 Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing in Recent Advances” will be hosted 
 at Symbiosis Institute of Technology (SIT)\, Pune\, from 27th to 31st Janu
 ary 2026. Organized in collaboration with the IEEE Maharashtra Section\, I
 EEE Gujarat Section\, and their respective IEEE SPS Chapters\, this premie
 r academic event aims to bring together leading researchers\, educators\, 
 and industry professionals to explore the next-generation trends in audio 
 and acoustic signal processing. The school will feature expert-led lecture
 s\, hands-on sessions\, and interactive discussions focusing on cutting-ed
 ge topics such as spatial audio\, acoustic scene analysis\, speech enhance
 ment\, AI-driven auditory modeling\, and immersive sound technologies. Par
 ticipants will gain valuable insights into emerging research directions\, 
 real-world applications\, and collaborative opportunities that shape the f
 uture of signal processing for audio and acoustics.[]\n\nCo-sponsored by:
