Description:

WOCCI: This workshop aims to join researchers and practitioners from universities and
industry working in all aspects of child-machine interaction including computer, robotics
and multi-modal interfaces. Children are special both at the acoustic/linguistic level as
well as the interaction level. The Workshop provides a unique opportunity for bringing
together different research communities from cognitive science, robotics, speech
processing, linguistics as well as applied areas such as medical and educational
technologies. Various state-of-the-art components can be presented here as key components
for the next generation of child-centered computer interaction. Technological advances
are increasingly necessary in a world where education and health pose growing challenges
to the core wellbeing of our societies. Noticeable examples are remedial treatments for
children with or without disabilities and capabilities for providing individualized
attention. The Workshop will serve as a venue for presenting recent advancements in core
technologies as well as experimental systems and prototypes.

LTLT: The LTLT workshop intends to bring together researchers from different countries on
the topic of language teaching/learning. Papers submitted here do not have to employ any
technology yet. We are looking for contributions from users that may not be aware of all
the possibilities that the technologies have to offer to solve educational research
problems. What these papers bring to the table are problem statements and data
collections that the speech and text processing community may in turn not be aware of.
Thus we are looking for symbioses between the two disciplines in research about
learning/teaching language. It is important for both areas to get to know each other's
research questions and potential application for technologies. ---
