A message from our President Haizhou Li
Dear Members,
Welcome to the November edition of ISCApad!
First of all, I write to give you an update on the activities regarding INTERSPEECH conferences. INTERSPEECH 2016 has
announced various call for proposals for the technical program, which can be found at the conference website. You are
invited to submit proposals and contribute to shaping the technical program and help shape our community direction.
Next, the call for INTERSPEECH 2019 is being met with great enthusiasm. ISCA Board received several bid proposals
to host INTERSPEECH 2019 by the deadline on 1 November. The Board would like to thank all the proposers for their efforts
and willingness to serve the community. The selection outcome will be announced during INTERSPEECH 2016 at San Francisco.
In this edition, I would like to share with you the ISCA Grants and Awards program. This is a program to support and
encourage students and young researchers by providing grants for attending conferences, and to pause and recognize
our colleagues advanced research contributions. At each INTERSPEECH, an ISCA award is given to the 3 best student papers
presented at the conference, based on anonymous review process of the papers and the presentation at the conference. ISCA
also financially supports students and young scientists by providing a limited number of grants for young authors with accepted
papers at INTERSPEECH and ISCA supported workshops. The ISCA board member responsible for coordinating ISCA's Grants
and Awards Program is Torbjørn Svendsen.
ISCA strives to meet the needs of its membership through various outreach programs. We look forward to your participation!
Haizhou Li - ISCA President
