INTRODUCTION
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to cordially invite you to participate in the upcoming ISCA Workshop on Non-Linear Speech Processing (NOLISP2013), which will be held at the University of Mons, Belgium, on the following dates: June 19-21, 2013. The workshop will cover all topics which come under the area of digital speech processing and its applications, with an emphasis on non-linear techniques. In accordance with the spirit of the ISCA workshops, the upcoming workshop will focus on research and results, give information on tools and welcome prototype demonstrations of potential future applications.
We are glad to inform you that the proceedings of the workshop will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, and that the workshop will be followed by a special issue in the Computer Speech and Language journal.
We are also happy to welcome four very interesting invited speakers who will give a talk in their expertise area: Prof. Steve Renals, Prof. Christophe d’Alessandro, Prof. Björn Schuller, and Prof. Yannis Stylianou.
The workshop is being organized by Dr. Thomas Drugman and Prof. Thierry Dutoit, from the University of Mons.
We look forward to your participation!
WORKSHOP THEMES
The Non-Linear Speech Processing (NOLISP) workshop is a biennial international workshop aiming at presenting and discussing new ideas, techniques and results related to alternative approaches in speech processing. New and innovative approaches and their applications are welcome to participate in this workshop.
Contributions are expected in (though not restricted to) the following domains: •Non-Linear Approximation and Estimation •Non-Linear Oscillators and Predictors •Higher-Order Statistics •Independent Component Analysis •Nearest Neighbours •Neural Networks •Decision Trees •Non-Parametric Models •Dynamics of Non-Linear Systems •Fractal Methods •Chaos Modeling •Non-Linear Differential Equations
All fields of speech processing are targeted by the workshop, namely: •Speech Production •Speech Analysis and Modeling •Speech Coding •Speech Synthesis •Speech Recognition •Speaker Identification / Verification •Speech Enhancement / Separation •Speech Perception •Others

Dear colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to announce the forthcoming edition of INTERSPEECH, the annual conference of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), which will be held in Lyon, France, 25-29 August 2013.
INTERSPEECH is the world's largest and most comprehensive conference on Spoken Language Processing science and technology. This edition will be the 14th in the annual series of Interspeech events and will coincide with the 25th anniversary of ISCA, formerly known as ESCA, which was born in France in 1988.
INTERSPEECH 2013 is coordinated by AFCP (Association Francophone de la Communication Parlée, i.e. the “French-speaking” Special Interest Group of ISCA). The conference will be hosted in the Lyon Convention Center, which offers first-grade facilities in a very attractive city and region, at the heart of Europe.
Speech is a fundamental human activity which runs across biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, anthropology or ecology. It is central to the organization and the development of human health, personality and intelligence. It is also essential to the synergy within human groups and their relationship with their environment.
Besides the conventional acoustic and linguistic viewpoints on speech communication, all these related disciplines provide additional approaches to speech as the keystone of communication, cognition and interaction in human societies.
The conference will thus promote an interdisciplinary approach covering all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from fundamental contributions to practical applications, in a wide variety of areas.
INTERSPEECH 2013 will consist of regular oral and poster sessions, plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, tutorials, exhibits, special sessions, show & tells and satellite events. INTERSPEECH papers are indexed in ISI, Engineering Index, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Our website will provide you with information and news including the various calls, the important dates, instructions, programs, and all useful arrangements for participating to the conference.
The INTERSPEECH 2013 Organizing Committee is actively engaged in the preparation of the event and it will be a great honor and pleasure for the French community in Speech Sciences to welcome you to INTERSPEECH 2013 in Lyon, next summer.
