The International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) is an annual event, and is the most widely-attended gathering of experts from the signal processing community. In 2016, it will take place in Shanghai, China. Historically, about 25% of the ICASSP participants have been students. This is a very healthy statistic because the future of this all-pervasive discipline is largely determined by the number of young people adopting signal processing as their field of endeavor. Many of the students are coauthors of accepted papers and presenters at the conference. For them, ICASSP is a unique opportunity to meet many of the leaders in the field and to broaden their horizons by being exposed to areas of research different from their own. The conference is also an excellent opportunity for them to start networking with people who will likely be their future collaborators. Unfortunately is expected that the number of US-based students attending the conference in Shanghai will be smaller than usual. This is largely due to the high travel costs to get to Shanghai from North America. This proposal aims at providing travel support for some of these students, hence, insuring better representation of US students at ICASSP 2015.

国际声学语音和信号处理会议 (ICASSP) 是一年一度的盛会，是信号处理界专家参加最广泛的聚会。 2016年，它将在中国上海举行。从历史上看，大约 25% 的 ICASSP 参与者是学生。这是一个非常健康的统计数据，因为这个无处不在的学科的未来很大程度上取决于采用信号处理作为其努力领域的年轻人的数量。许多学生是会议上被接受论文的合著者和演讲者。对于他们来说，ICASSP 是一个独特的机会，可以结识该领域的许多领导者，并通过接触与自己不同的研究领域来拓宽视野。这次会议也是他们开始与可能成为未来合作者的人建立联系的绝佳机会。不幸的是，预计参加上海会议的美国学生人数将比平时少。这主要是由于从北美前往上海的旅行成本高昂。该提案旨在为其中一些学生提供旅行支持，从而确保美国学生在 2015 年 ICASSP 上有更好的代表性。
