The 8th International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing (ISCSLP)

will be held during December 5-8, 2012 at the InnoCentre, Hong Kong, China. It will be jointly organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

ISCSLP is a biennial conference for scientists, researchers, and practitioners to report and discuss the latest progress in all theoretical and technological aspects of spoken language processing.  While ISCSLP focuses primarily on Chinese languages, works on other languages that are applicable to Chinese speech and language are also included.  The working language of ISCSLP is English. ISCSLP takes place in rotation among Singapore, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Technical Program: ISCSLP 2012 will feature world-class invited speakers, and interactive lecture and poster sessions.
