The invited speakers will give presentations focusing on overviews of
automatic pronunciation detection methods in commercial applications
and research projects, ongoing development of pronunciation analysis
algorithms, and the pedagogical or pragmatic needs in future
development.
The symposium program will also include regular scientific
presentations, a demo session, panel discussion plus a social program
(included common lunches, symposium dinner and guided visit to the
Stockholm City Hall).
