About 5MPT Contest
The summer school at DA-IICT announces the fifth edition of 5 minute Ph.D. thesis (5MPT) contest after four such successful events in India during S4P 2019, S4P 2018, S4P 2017, S4P 2016, where several doctoral students across India and abroad have participated. The main aim of this event is to provide a unique opportunity for doctoral students to present their research work concisely in the broad areas of speech and audio signal processing in 5 minutes. Doctoral students will get an opportunity to interact with eminent researchers both from academia and industry. This will help them to gain visibility of their work and improve their research communication skills. Based on the reviews of the presentations
by a panel of international experts, four scholars will be awarded ISCA Endorsed cash prizes.
