3-3-2 | (2010-09-16) The Haskins Legacy : The Science of the Spoken and Written Word During 2010-2011 we will be celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Haskins Laboratories. Haskins was founded in 1935 and incorporated in 1936.
The Haskins Laboratories 75th Anniversary Inaugural Event was an 'Alvin and Isabelle Liberman Memorial Workshop' held on May 7, 2010, at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. Presenters included Michael Turvey, Susan Brady, Jim Magnuson, Donald Shankweiler, and Ken Pugh. The agenda of the meeting can be viewed in PDF format.
We are pleased to announce a new speaker series in conjunction with this anniversary: THE HASKINS LEGACY - The Science of the Spoken and Written Word. Approximately twice a month we will feature informal talks by some of the many individuals who have contributed to the scientific legacy of the Laboratories. A preliminary list of speakers can be found at: http://www.haskins.yale.edu/75th_anniversary/speaker_series.html
In conjunction with our 75th Anniversary, we are also announcing the release of the preliminary version of the: Haskins Laboratories Status Report Digital Archive. The Haskins Laboratories Status Report on Speech Research was published from 1965 through 1995 by Haskins Laboratories. The publication reported on the status and progress of studies on the nature of speech, instrumentation for its investigation, and practical applications. We would like to thank Tammy Ursini, Yvonne Manning-Jones, and Michele Sinko for their hard work implementing this project. Thanks also to Dr. J. Bruce Millar for the donation of an additional set of Status Report volumes used in the scanning process. A link to the archive can be found on the 'Publications' page on our website or directly at: http://www.haskins.yale.edu/SR/StatusReportArchive.html

Two page abstract submission: July 1, 2010 Notification of acceptance: July 20, 2010 Final paper (4-8 pages) submission and authors' registration: August 20, 2010 The Workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from universities and industry working in all aspects of multimodal child-machine interaction with particular emphasis on, but not limited to, speech interactive interfaces. Children are special both at the acoustic/linguistic level but also at the interaction level. The Workshop provides a unique opportunity for bringing together different research communities to demonstrate various state-of-the-art components that can make up the next generation of child centred computer interaction. These technological advances are increasingly necessary in a world where education and health pose growing challenges to the core wellbeing of our societies. Noticeable examples are remedial treatments for children with or without disabilities, and first and second language learning. The Workshop should serve for presenting recent advancements in all core technologies for multimodal child-machine interaction as well as experimental systems and prototypes.

Both the interpersonal dynamics and the dynamic interactions among an individual's perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes are swift and complex. How people accomplish these feats of coordination is a question of great scientific interest. Models of human communication dynamics also have much potential practical value, for applications including the understanding of communications problems such as autism and the creation of socially intelligent robots able to recognize, predict, and analyze verbal and nonverbal behaviors in real-time interaction with humans. Modeling human communicative dynamics brings exciting new problems and challenges to the NIPS community. The first goal of this workshop is to raise awareness in the machine learning community of these problems, including some applications needs, the special properties of these input streams, and the modeling challenges. The second goal is to exchange information about methods, techniques, and algorithms suitable for modeling human communication dynamics. After the workshop, depending on interest, we may arrange to publish full-paper versions of selected submissions, possibly as a volume in the JMLR Workshop and Conference papers series. Topics: -------------- We therefore invite submissions of short high-quality papers describing research on Human Communication Dynamics and related topics. Suitable themes include, but are not limited to: * modeling methods robust to semi-synchronized streams (gestural, lexical, prosodic, etc.) * learning methods robust to the highly variable response lags seen in human interaction * coupled models for the explicit simultaneous modeling of more than one participant * ways to combine symbolic (lexical) and non-symbolic information * learning of models that are valuable for both behavior recognition and behavior synthesis * algorithms robust to training data whose labeling is incomplete or noisy * feature engineering * online learning and adaptation * models of moment-by-moment human interaction that can also work for longer time scales * specific applications and potential applications * failures and problems observed when applying existing methods to such tasks * insights from experimental or other studies of human communication behavior Invited speakers (partial list): -------------------------------------------- * Jeff Bilmes (University of Washington) * Dan Bohus (Microsoft Research) * Marian Stewart Bartlett (University of California, San Diego) Submission guidelines: -------------------------------------------- Submissions should be written as extended abstracts, no longer than 4 pages in the NIPS latex style. NIPS style files and formatting instructions can be found at http://nips.cc/PaperInformation/StyleFiles (although we will not enforce the double blind rule). Work that was recently published or presented elsewhere is allowed, provided that the extended abstract mentions this explicitly; work earlier presented at non-machine-learning venues is especially encouraged.

The scope of DEV 2010 is broad covering a wide range of research areas within computer science with a direct focus on development. ACM DEV 2010 aims to bring together all CS researchers with an interest in computing for development. The deadline for paper submissions is July 10th, 2010. We strongly encourage you to submit your best works here. The conference website is: http://dev2010.news.cs.nyu.edu *Call for Papers* DEV 2010 provides an international forum for research in the design and implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for social and economic development. In particular, we focus on emerging contexts where conventional computing solutions are often inappropriate due to various contextual factors - including, but not limited to, cost, language, literacy, and the availability of power and bandwidth. Focusing on innovative technical solutions to these unique application, infrastructure and user challenges, DEV fosters exchange between computer scientists, engineers, and other scholars and practitioners interested in the use of ICTs for development. DEV provides a high-quality, single-track forum for presenting results and discussing new ideas. We expect paper contributions from different existing sub-areas of Computer Science and Engineering with a direct relevance to development. Papers should describe original and previously unpublished research. Three metrics will be applied to judge papers: (a) Relevance of the problem for development; (b) Novelty of the technical solution; (c) Evaluation of the solution, making a case for development-focused impact. All ACM DEV paper submissions should either provide or directly motivate a novel technical solution that has direct implications for development.
