TRASP 2013: Tools and Resources for the Analysis of Speech Prosody

30 August 2013 – Aix-en-Provence - France

Calls for papers

****************************************

Tools and Resources for the Analysis of Speech Prosody is an

Interspeech 2013 satellite

event.

This workshop will be the occasion to bring together people involved in developing

tools and resources for the analysis of speech prosody in order to evaluate the state of

the art in this area, summarising what tools and resources are currently available and

what other of tools and resources are in greatest need of development.

It will also be an opportunity to discuss ways in which work in this area might benefit from

harmonisation and collaboration.

In order to increase comparability for the different tools, contributors will be asked to apply

their tools to a common corpus which, when possible, will be made available by the

organisers. Since it is expected that tools may concern several different languages, a multilingual

corpus will be used:
