    ========================================

Dear Colleague,

INTERSPEECH is the world's largest and most comprehensive conference on

issues surrounding the science and technology of  spoken language

processing(SLP) both in humans and in machines. It is our great pleasure to

host INTERSPEECH 2010 in  Japan, the birthplace of ICSLP, which has held two

ICSLPs, in Kobe and Yokohama, in the past.

The theme of INTERSPEECH 2010 is 'Spoken Language Processing for All Ages,

Health Conditions, Native Languages and  Environments'. INTERSPEECH 2010

emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach covering all aspects of speech

science and  technology spanning the basic theories to applications. Besides

regular oral and poster sessions, plenary talks by  internationally renowned

experts, tutorials, exhibits, and special sessions are planned.

      'INTERSPEECH conferences are indexed in ISI'

not limited to:
