If you're submitting to #ICASSP2025 and are wondering why your tables at the top of a column are too low, it's because the template adds a \vskip above the caption.
Easiest fix is to add \vspace{-6pt} just before the \caption to make it flush with the text.
You're welcome🤗

Two bucket list items this weekend: @supergrasshq.bsky.social yesterday at Citizens House of Blues, and Pulp tonight at Suffolk Downs. Both as fresh as ever and amazingly good 🫶

We're pushing the #WASPAA2025 deadline by 1 week, to May 7🤗
Please spread the word📣

IEEE WASPAA 2025 @waspaa.com · Apr 19

We've heard you! Time after ICASSP is feeling tight for many, and thanks to a very strong reviewer pool, we can reduce the review load and shorten the review period.
We are thus happy to announce a 1 week extension🤗
New #WASPAA2025 deadlines:
April 30: First submission
May 7: Final submission

#ICASSP2025 was pretty fun! Lots of good conversations and connections. Jet lag totally killed my sleep for the whole week, but now I know you can survive on 15 hours of sleep over 5 days, and at least I'm still almost on Boston time🤗

Great session indeed!

Jonathan Le Roux @jonathanleroux.bsky.social · Apr 10

Glad to hear that the rebuttal period was extended to the 13th. Monday 14th would have been even nicer, but we'll take it!

Jonathan Le Roux @jonathanleroux.bsky.social · Apr 5

On my way to Hyderabad and #ICASSP2025. Looking forward to catching up with many friends! Sadly not as many as usual given that <50% of participants could get a visa 😅
I'm chairing 3 sessions (SLP-P3, AASP-P8, AASP-L6) and presenting 1 paper (in AASP-L3), good places to find me if you want to chat🤗
