3-1-5INTERSPEECH 2016 SPECIAL SESSION: SHARING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION RESOURCES FOR UNDERSTANDING SPEECH PROCESSING

INTERSPEECH 2016 SPECIAL SESSION: SHARING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION RESOURCES FOR UNDERSTANDING SPEECH PROCESSING

Organizers: Eric Fosler-Lussier, The Ohio State University; Rebecca Bates, Minnesota State University, Mankato;  Florian Metze, Carnegie Mellon University
Contact email: speech-kitchen@lists.andrew.cmu.edu
 
Speech processing systems have become increasingly complex and difficult to share across sites. Significant time is spent reimplementing published methods; even when software is shared, the lack of common environments between sites means that reproducing results can require significant effort. Open software repositories, virtual machines, and tools for automatically building container environments in the cloud are beginning to facilitate cross-site collaboration.
 
We seek contributions from creators of resources (such as software, VMs, web services, frameworks, datasets, etc.) describing their experience in production and usage of these resources in recognition, synthesis, or other speech/language processing technologies. In addition, we welcome essay contributions addressing the use of resources in both research and education settings. Featured virtual machines will be shared with session attendees in order to foster community discussion and encourage use after the session.

Please note that there is a split submission deadline - for resource providers, the standard Interspeech submission deadline applies (March 23), but for the essay contributions, we ask for submissions by March 1.  See the link below for more details.

Call for papers

 

 

 

This special session aims at gathering researchers in speech technology and researchers in linguistics (working in language documentation and fundamentals of speech science). Such a partnership is particularly important for Sub-Saharan African languages which tend to remain under-resourced, under-documented and often also un-written.

 

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers in the following areas:

 

  • ASR and TTS for Sub-Saharan African languages and dialects

  • Cross-lingual and multi-lingual acoustic and lexical modeling

  • Applications of spoken language technologies for the African continent

  • Phonetic and linguistic studies in Sub-Saharan African languages

  • Zero resource speech technologies: unsupervised discovery of linguistic units

  • Language documentation for endangered languages of Africa

  • Machine-assisted annotation of speech and laboratory phonology

  • Resource / Corpora production in African languages

 

 

 

Submission deadline

 

Same as regular Interspeech 2016 papers: 23d March, 2016
