HSCMA Hands Free Communication and Microphone Arrays March 1–3, 2017 • San Francisco, CA, USA Call for Papers The Fifth Joint Workshop on Hands-free Speech Communication and Microphone Arrays will be held on March 1-3, 2017 at the Google Offices in downtown San Francisco, California. The workshop is devoted to presenting recent advances in distant-talking speech communication and human/machine interaction with an emphasis on multi-microphone systems. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from universities and industry working in distant speech and speaker recognition, speech enhancement, high-quality sound capture, and multiple-input/ multiple-output (MIMO) acoustic signal processing. Demonstrations of experimental systems, applications, and prototypes are especially welcome. HSCMA 2017 is being held with technical sponsorship by the IEEE Signal Processing Society and will immediately precede ICASSP 2017. Workshop Topics Papers in all areas of distant-talking human/human and human/machine interaction are encouraged, including: • Multi-channel and single-channel approaches for speech acquisition, noise suppression, source localization and separation, dereverberation, echo cancellation, and acoustic event detection • Speech and speaker recognition technology for hands-free scenarios, including robust acoustic modeling, novel features, feature enhancement, dereverberation, and model adaptation • Microphone array technology and architectures, especially for distant-talking speech recognition and acoustic scene analysis • Multi-channel rendering, including spatial audio for immersive environments, improvements to intelligibility in noisy environments, and privacy of speech communications • Speech corpora for training and evaluation of distant-talking speech systems • Applications based on microphone arrays and hands-free speech systems. Special Sessions The program will also feature special sessions on new or emerging topics of interest. Proposals for special sessions must include the session title, rationale, outline, and a list of four invited papers. Paper & demo submission The workshop technical program will consist of oral presentations, poster sessions, and demonstrations. Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers up to four pages, with a fifth page permitted for references only. Submissions for proposed demonstrations may be up to two pages in length. Manuscripts should be prepared using the same format as for ICASSP submissions using the ICASSP author kit for LaTeX or Word. Accepted papers will be published in IEEEXplore.
