Since attendance is limited to the number of seats available, your participation has to be secured by registering here: http://workshopportugueselanguagedigitalage.eventbrite.com OBJECTIVE With new and increasingly more powerful technologies, we are communicating with more people, more often and more easily. Critically, these new technologies are not only providing extended carriers for the exchange of linguistic information: they are inducing a deep technological shock in the way languages can be used. In sharp rupture with the past, we will be using new technological solutions to communicate instantly in our mother language with people speaking a different language, and accessing information encoded in other languages that we do not speak. And we will be using natural language to interact with all sorts of artificial devices and services in the rapidly unfolding information society. What are the new conditions of usage for natural languages? How will they thrive and which will lose relevance, or eventually get extinct, in the globalized world? And in particular: What are the specific challenges for the Portuguese language? What strategic responses can be devised? Seeking views, answers and strategies that help to answer these questions is the central goal of this workshop.

Paris, France, November 28-30, 2012 http://www.uni-ulm.de/en/in/iwsds2012 Second Announcement Following the success of IWSDS'2009 (Irsee, Germany), IWSDS'2010 (Gotemba Kogen Resort, Japan) and IWSDS'2011 (Granada, Spain),the Fourth International Workshop on Spoken Dialog Systems (IWSDS 2012) will be held in Paris (France) on November 28-30, 2012. The IWSDS Workshop series provides an international forum for the presentation of research and applications and for lively discussions among researchers as well as industrialists, with a special interest to the practical implementation of Spoken Dialog Systems in everyday applications. Scientific achievements in language processing now results in the development of successful applications such as IBM Watson, Evi, Apple Siri or Google Assistant for access to knowledge and interaction with smartphones, while the coming of domestic robots advocates for the development of powerful communication means with their human users and fellow robots. We therefore put this year workshop under the theme 'Towards a Natural Interaction with Robots, Knowbots and Smartphones', which covers: -Dialog for robot interaction (including ethics), -Dialog for Open Domain knowledge access, -Dialog for interacting with smartphones, -Mediated dialog (including multilingual dialog involving Speech Translation), -Dialog quality evaluation. We would also like to encourage the discussion of common issues of theories, applications, evaluation, limitations, general tools and techniques, and therefore also invite the submission of original papers in any related area, including but not limited to: -Speech recognition and semantic analysis, -Dialog management, Adaptive dialog modeling, -Recognition of emotions from speech, gestures, facial expressions and physiological data, -Emotional and interactional dynamic profile of the speaker during dialog, User modeling, -Planning and reasoning capabilities for coordination and conflict description, -Conflict resolution in complex multi-level decisions, -Multi-modality such as graphics, gesture and speech for input and output, -Fusion, fission and information management, Learning and adaptability -Visual processing and recognition for advanced human-computer interaction, -Spoken Dialog databases and corpora, including methodologies and ethics, -Objective and subjective Spoken Dialog evaluation methodologies, strategies and paradigms, -Spoken Dialog prototypes and products, etc. We particularly welcome papers that can be illustrated by a demonstration, and we will organize the conference in order to best accommodate these papers, whatever their category. *PAPER SUBMISSION* We distinguish between the following categories of submissions: Long Research Papers are reserved for reports on mature research results. The expected length of a long paper should be in the range of 8-12 pages. Short Research Papers should not exceed 6 pages in total. Authors may choose this category if they wish to report on smaller case studies or ongoing but interesting and original research efforts Demo - System Papers: Authors who wish to demonstrate their system may choose this category and provide a description of their system and demo. System papers should not exceed 6 pages in total. As usual, it is planned that a selection of accepted papers will be published in a book by Springer following the conference. *IMPORTANT DATES* Deadline for submission: July 16, 2012 Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2012 Deadline for final submission of accepted paper: October 8, 2012 Deadline for Early Bird registration: October 8, 2012 Final program available online: November 5, 2012 Workshop: November 28-30, 2012 VENUE: IWSDS 2012 will be held as a two-day residential seminar in the wonderful Castle of Ermenonville near Paris, France, where all attendees will be accommodated.

NTCIR-10 IR for Spoken Documents Task (SpokenDoc-2)
http://www.cl.ics.tut.ac.jp/~sdpwg/index.php?ntcir10
== INTRODUCTION
The growth of the internet and the decrease of the storage costs are
resulting in the rapid increase of multimedia contents today. For
retrieving these contents, available text-based tag information is
limited. Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) is a promising technology for
retrieving these contents using the speech data included in them.
Following the NTCIR-9 SpokenDoc task, we will continue to evaluate the
SDR based on a realistic ASR condition, where the target documents are
spontaneous speech data with high word error rate and high
out-of-vocabulary rate.
== TASK OVERVIEW
The new speech data, the recordings of the first to sixth annual
Spoken Document Processing Workshop, are going to be used as the
target document in SpokenDoc-2. The larger speech data, spoken
lectures in Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ), are also used as in
the last SpokenDoc-1. The task organizers are going to provide
reference automatic transcriptions for these speech data. These
enabled researchers interested in SDR, but without access to their own
ASR system to participate in the tasks. They also enabled comparisons
of the IR methods based on the same underlying ASR performance.
Targeting these documents, two subtasks will be conducted.
Spoken Term Detection:
Within spoken documents, find the occurrence positions of a queried
term. The evaluation should be conducted by both the efficiency
(search time) and the effectiveness (precision and recall).
Spoken Content Retrieval:
Among spoken documents, find the segments including the relevant
information related to the query, where a segment is either a
document (resulting in document retrieval task) or a passage
(passage retrieval task). This is like an ad-hoc text retrieval
task, except that the target documents are speech data.

Ces journées ont vu le jour à Paris en 2005 (www.cavi.univ-paris3.fr/ilpga/JPC-2005/). En 2007, elles se sont déroulées à Grenoble, en 2009 à Aix-en-Provence (aune.lpl.univ-aix.fr/~jpc3/) et en 2011 à Strasbourg (journees-phonetique-clinique.u-strasbg.fr/). Elles ont lieu tous les deux ans. L’année 2013 sera Liégeoise (Belgique). En effet, elles seront organisées par le service de Logopédie de la Voix de l'Université de Liège de psychologie: cognition et comportement) en étroite collaboration avec le Laboratoires d'Images, Signaux et Dispositifs de Télécommunications de l’Université Libre de Bruxelles.
La phonétique réunit principalement des chercheurs, enseignants-chercheurs, ingénieurs, médecins et orthophoniste / logopèdes ; différentes corps de métiers complémentaires qui poursuivent le même objectif : une meilleure connaissance des processus d'acquisition, de développement et de dégénérescence du langage, de la parole et de la voix. Cette approche interdisciplinaire vise à optimiser les connaissances fondamentales relatives à la communication parlée, dans le but de mieux comprendre, évaluer, et remédier aux troubles de la parole et de la voix chez le sujet pathologique.
Dans ce contexte, cette série de colloques internationaux sur la production et la perception de la parole, chez le sujet pathologique, représente une opportunité pour des professionnels, des chercheurs confirmés etdes jeu nes chercheurs de formations différentes de présenter des résultats expérimentaux nouveaux et d’échanger des idées de diverses perspectives. Les communications porteront sur les études de la parole et de la voix pathologiques, chez l’adulte et chez l’enfant.
Nous espérons vous voir nombreux à ces 5ème Journées de Phonétique Clinique. Vous trouverez plus d’informations en visitant le site à l’adresse suivante : https://w3.fapse.ulg.ac.be/conferences/JPhC5/index.php
