| 3-2-1 | (2011-06-27) CfP Symposium on Machine Learning in Speech and Language Processing, Bellevue, Washington
Call for Participation Symposium on Machine Learning in Speech and Language Processing June 27, 2011 Bellevue, Washington, USA http://www.ttic.edu/sigml/symposium2011/
The symposium will be held in Bellevue, Washington on June 27th, 2011. It will bring together members of the Association for Computational Linguistics ( http://www.aclweb.org/ ), the International Speech Communication Association (http://www.isca-speech.org/), and The International Machine Learning Society (http://www.machinelearning.org/) . Its goal is to foster communication and collaboration between researchers in these synergistic areas, taking advantage of the nearby locations of ACL-HLT 2011 and ICML 2011.
Topics The workshop will feature a series of invited talks and general submissions. Submissions focusing on novel research are solicited and we especially encourage position and review papers addressing topics that are relevant both to Speech, Machine Learning and NLP. These areas include but are not limited to the use of: SVMs, log-linear models, neural networks, kernel methods, discriminative transforms, large margin training, discriminative training, active, semi-supervised & unsupervised training, structured prediction, Bayesian modeling, deep learning , and sparse representations. Application areas include natural language processing, speech recognition, language modeling, and speaker verification.
Paper Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit papers written in English via the symposium website. Style guidelines and further submission information will be available from the website. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, and each accepted paper must have at least one registered author.
Important Dates
Venue, Accommodation and Registration Venue: SIG-ML will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bellevue, Washington, the site of ICML. Accommodation: A wide variety of lodging is available in the Bellevue area. Registration: Please see the website for details.

| 3-2-6 | (2011-09-01) IWSDS2011 Workshop on Paralinguistic Information and its Integration in Spoken Dialogue Systems: satellite event of Interspeech 2011IntroductionDear colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in this IWSDS2011 Workshop on Paralinguistic Information and its Integration in Spoken Dialogue Systems to be held at Following on the success of IWSDS2009 (in Irsee, Germany) and IWSDS2010 (in Gotemba Kogen Resort, Japan) this 3rd International Workshop on Spoken Dialogue Systems (IWSDS2011) will bring together researchers from all over the world working in the field of spoken dialogue systems. It will provide an international forum for the presentation of research and applications and for lively discussions among researchers as well as industrialists. This year's workshop designates 'Paralinguistic Information and its Integration in Spoken Dialogue Systems' as a special theme of discussion. We would also like to encourage discussions of common issues of spoken dialogue systems. We welcome you to the workshop.
