The Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association (APSIPA) is a non-profit international organization founded to promote education, research, and industry collaboration in the fields of signal and information processing. Officially incorporated in Hong Kong in 2009, APSIPA supports academic and industrial communities across the Asia-Pacific region through technical committees, international conferences, professional publications, and educational activities. Its scope covers signal processing, speech and language processing, image and multimedia analysis, machine learning, communications and networking, and security technologies with applications spanning engineering, healthcare, and the social sciences.

Established on May 20, 2020, the APSIPA Taiwan Local Chapter serves as a national hub to foster collaboration and talent exchange between Taiwan and the broader Asia-Pacific academic and industry communities. The chapter organizes technical seminars, academic workshops, and industry-oriented events that enhance Taiwan’s visibility in the international research landscape and promote the participation of young scholars in APSIPA’s annual summits and communities.

Sharing the same vision and mission as its parent organization, the APSIPA Taiwan Local Chapter focuses on both global connectivity and local development, with the following core objectives:

• Building bridges among industry, academia, and education to foster cross-disciplinary innovation and collaboration

• Promoting international partnerships across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to elevate Taiwan’s global research presence

• Curating and disseminating high-quality research and educational resources, such as open-access journals and online expert lectures

• Creating diverse career development opportunities and international networking channels for students and professionals alike

By actively engaging in APSIPA’s global initiatives and technical communities, the Taiwan Chapter injects new momentum into the local research ecosystem. It also serves as a vital conduit that links Taiwan to the broader Asia-Pacific and global signal and information processing communities.

亞太訊號與資訊處理協會（APSIPA, Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association）為一非營利國際學術組織，創立宗旨在於推動訊號與資訊處理領域的研究發展、教育推廣與產學交流。自 2009 年正式於香港註冊成立以來，APSIPA 持續透過技術委員會、國際會議、專業出版與教育活動，連結亞太地區並拓展全球影響力。其涵蓋領域包含訊號處理、語音與語言處理、影像與多媒體分析、機器學習、通訊與網路、安全技術等，廣泛應用於工程、醫療、社會科學等場域。

APSIPA 台灣分會（APSIPA Taiwan Local Chapter）於 2020 年 5 月 20 日正式成立，致力於促進本地與亞太地區的學術合作與人才交流。分會積極籌辦學術研討會、講座與產業交流活動，提升台灣學術界的國際能見度，並鼓勵年輕學者參與 APSIPA 年會與技術社群，拓展其國際研究視野。

APSIPA 台灣分會秉持與總會一致的願景與使命，致力於在地深耕與國際接軌，並聚焦於以下核心目標：

• 搭建產業、學術與教育之間的交流橋樑，促進跨領域合作與技術推進

• 推動與亞太及全球機構的合作計畫，強化本地研究團隊的國際影響力

• 整合並分享高品質的研究成果與教育資源，例如開放式期刊、線上專題演講等

• 提供研究人員與學生多元的職涯發展資訊與國際交流機會

藉由積極參與 APSIPA 各項全球性活動與技術社群，台灣分會不僅為本地學術界與產業界注入新能量，也扮演著連結亞太與世界的重要節點，協助台灣學術界在全球訊號與資訊處理領域中發聲與發光。
