Deep Learning Can Be Crucial for Smart Consumer Electronics [Notes from the Editor]

I would like to introduce the current issue with the announcement of a couple of items of good news. First, IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine is now indexed in DBLP. I think this will enhance this publication's visibility. In effect, it may attract a wider variety of authors from the computer science and computer engineering fields. Second, three members of the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society were recently awarded the title of IEEE Fellow. The three members and their contributions to CE are as follows: Petronel Bigioi for leadership in advancing digital-imaging technology for handheld consumer devices Michael Isnardi for contributions to compliance testing and vision-based video-compression technologies Shaomin Peng for contributions to scalable video-decoding methods in the MPEG2 standard. Please join me in congratulating them for their noteworthy honor and achievements.
