| 3-1-2 | (2015-09-06) Call for Satellite Workshops of INTERSPEECH 2015, Dresden, Germany**** Call for Satellite Workshops ****
INTERSPEECH 2015 will be held in the beautiful city of Dresden, Germany, on September 6-10, 2015
The theme is 'Speech beyond Speech - Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important
Biosignal'. The Organizing Committee of INTERSPEECH 2015 is now inviting proposals for
satellite workshops, which will be held in proximity to the main conference.
The Organizing Committee will work to facilitate the organization of such satellite workshops,
to stimulate discussion in research areas related to speech and language, at locations in Central
Europe, and around the same time as INTERSPEECH. We are particularly looking forward to
proposals from neighboring countries. If you are interested in organizing a satellite workshop,
or would like a planned event to be listed as an official satellite event, please contact the organizers
or the Satellite Workshop Chair at fmetze@cs.cmu.edu The Satellite Workshop coordinator along
with the INTERSPEECH team will help to connect (potential) workshop organizers with local
contacts in Germany, if needed, and will try to be helpful with logistics such as payment, publicity,
and coordination with ISCA or other events. Proposals should include:
* workshop name and acronym * organizers' name and contact info
* website (if already known)
* date and proposed location of the workshop
* estimated number of participants
* a short description of the motivation for the workshop
* an outline of the program and invited speakers
* a description of the submission process (e.g. deadlines, target acceptance rate)
* a list of the scientific committee members
Proposals for satellite workshops should be submitted by email to workshops@interspeech2015.org
by August 31st, 2014 We strongly recommend that organizers also apply for
ISCA approval/ sponsorship, which will greatly facilitate acceptance as an INTERSPEECH satellite
event. We plan to notify proposers no later than October 30, 2014. If you have any questions about
whether a potential event would be a good candidate for an INTERSPEECH 2015 satellite workshop
feel free to contact the INTERSPEECH 2015 Satellite Workshops Chair.
Sincerely,
Florian Metze
Satellite Workshops Chair fmetze@cs.cmu.edu

INTERSPEECH is the world’s largest and most comprehensive conference on the science and technology of spoken language processing. INTERSPEECH conferences emphasize interdisciplinary approaches addressing all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from basic theories to applications.
INTERSPEECH 2015 will be organized around the theme Speech beyond Speech: Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important Biosignal, which acknowledges the fact that speech is the most important biosignal humans can produce and perceive. It is evident that not all characteristics of speech are already fully understood. We therefore encourage contributions that analyze and model speech as a biosignal in a broad understanding, e.g. for extracting information about the speaker, for identifying processes leading to speech production, or for generating speech signals with specific bio-characteristics. Contributions to all other areas of speech science and technology are also welcome.
Important Dates 30 Nov 2014 special sessions: paper submission deadline
Call for Papers The Organizing Committee of INTERSPEECH 2015 is now inviting for paper submissions. Please refer to our CfP page for more details. 15.09.2014 – Details on paper submission and topics can be found on our CfP page.
Call for Special Sessions Submissions of Special Sessions & Challenges proposals are encouraged for INTERSPEECH 2015, covering interdisciplinary topics and/or important new emerging areas of interest related to the main conference topics. 16.10.2014 – For more information please refer to our SS-CfP page.
Call for Show and Tell The Organizing Committee of INTERSPEECH 2015 is now inviting for contribution to Show and Tell special event. Please refer to our Show and Tell page for more details. 17.04.2015 – Full submission deadline, proposals should be submitted by email tois2015showntell@gmx.de.
Call for Tutorials The Organizing Committee of INTERSPEECH 2015 is now inviting proposals for tutorials, which will be held on September 6 (first day of conference) in the main venue Maritim International Congress Center (ICD) location. Please refer to here for more details. 15.10.2014 – Proposals for tutorials should be submitted by email to Alexander Raake.

SPECIAL TOPIC Speech Beyond Speech: Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important Biosignal
MOTIVATION Speech is the most important biosignal humans can produce and perceive. It is the most common means of human-human communication, and therefore research and development in speech and language are not only paramount for understanding humans, but also to facilitate human-machine interaction. Still, not all characteristics of speech are fully understood, and even fewer are used for developing successful speech and language processing applications. Speech can exploit its full potential only if we consider the characteristics which are beyond the traditional (and still important) linguistic content. These characteristics include other biosignals that are directly accessible to human perception, such as muscle and brain activity, as well as articulatory gestures.
INTERSPEECH 2015 will therefore be organized around the topic “Speech beyond Speech: Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important Biosignal”. Our conviction is that spoken language processing can make a substantial leap if it caters for the full information which is available in the speech signal. By opening our prestigious conference to researchers in other biosignal communities, we expect that substantial advances can be made discussing ideas and approaches across discipline and community boundaries.
ORGANIZERS
The following people organize INTERSPEECH 2015:
LOCATION The event will be staged in the recently built Maritim International Congress Center (ICD) in Dresden, Germany. As the capital of Saxony, an up-and-coming region located in the former eastern part of Germany, Dresden combines glorious and painful history with a strong dedication to future and technology. It is located in the heart of Europe, easily reached via two airports, and will offer a great deal of history and culture to INTERSPEECH 2015 delegates. Guests are well catered for in a variety of hotels of different standards and price ranges, making INTERSPEECH 2015 an exciting as well as an affordable event.
