3-1-4 | (2017-08-20) Interspeech 2017 update The preparations for Interspeech 2017 are in full swing! As you may have noticed, we had a serious virus attack to Interspeech 2017 website and it too us a while to restore it. The website is now up and running again, although with still some issues concerning links that are not yet completely operational, at this time. We have received a good number of proposals for Satellite Workshops as well as for Special Sessions and Challenges and we are working on the schedules and logistic details. We can announce that co-registration will be possible. Participants will be able to select participation in Satellite Workshops and pay the registration fee in connection with the registration for Interspeech 2017. The organizers of satellite events will be in touch with our PCO to get information on the registered participants and the universities involved in the satellite events will request from our PCO transfers of the events’ registration amounts. Except for the credit card fee (about 2 %), we do not expect any other costs for the organizers of the satellite events. Sponsorships and exhibition requests are dropping in, which is a very good sign. We have started a Facebook page and taken over a Twitter account for Interspeech 2017. There is still some work to be done to activate properly those social media but we are working on it. The three main Interspeech 2017 partners, Stockholm University, KTH and Karolinska Institute are coordinating efforts to make the conference a success and are deeply involved in the planning. To the good news, we can add that Stockholm University will not be charging Interspeech 2017 for the lecture halls or use of other spaces at the university and KTH/TMH will be hosting the Technical Committee meeting in May. Meanwhile, we are having regular planning meetings involving Stockholm University’s representatives of various infrastructures, like wifi, media services, restaurants and cafeterias, security, etc. and working hard to make sure that Interspeech 2017 will flow as smoothly and effectively as possible. See you in Stockholm in August! Francisco Lacerda

Few studies have examined changes in speech production or perception measures across the lifespan using common materials and experimental designs. Lifespan studies can further our understanding of the extent and direction of these changes for key measures of speech communication and of how these changes interact with cognitive, social or sensory factors. Such knowledge is essential to refine and extend models of speech perception and production.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for interactions between researchers from areas of speech and language sciences research that may be focused on different developmental stages, e.g. early development and ageing. It will also discuss methodological issues, such as how to overcome the difficulty of developing tests that are equally appropriate for children, younger and older adults, and will consider ?missing gaps? in the developmental trajectory, e.g. data for older teenagers and middle-aged adults. Invited speakers Paul FOULKES (University of York) Sandra GORDON-SALANT (University of Maryland) Mitchell SOMMERS (Washington University) Hayo TERBAND (University of Utrecht) Call for papers We invite submissions for oral and poster presentations. Presentations can include or consist of demonstrations of tests and software. We expect submitted papers to report experimental and modelling studies relating to more than one age group or longitudinal work. See further detail of topics at http://sppl2017.org/call-for-papers

JPC7 - 7èmes Journées de Phonétique clinique Paris, 29 juin - 30 juin 2017
Organisées pour la première fois à Paris en 2005 puis rééditées successivement à Grenoble (2007), Aix-en-Provence (2009), Strasbourg (2011) et Liège (2013), Montpellier (2015), les Journées de Phonétique Clinique (JPC) réunissent des chercheurs et des ingénieurs, des médecins, et des orthophonistes s?intéressant tous aux questions liées au fonctionnement normal et pathologique de la voix, de la parole et du langage.
Les 7èmes Journées de Phonétique Clinique se dérouleront à Paris du 29 juin au 30 juin 2017.
Deux conférences plénières seront organisées avec la présence des Professeurs Jody Kreiman (UCLA, USA) ?Perception of normal and disordered Voice and Speech? et Hermann Ackermann (Tuebingen, Allemagne) ?Disorders of spoken language in neurological diseases?
L?objectif de ces Journées interdisciplinaires sera de faire progresser les connaissances fondamentales relatives aux troubles phonétiques de la voix et de la parole et les interactions avec d'autres troubles dans le but de mieux comprendre, évaluer, diagnostiquer et remédier aux troubles de la production et de la perception de la voix et de la parole, chez les sujets pathologiques. Dans ce contexte, cette série de colloques internationaux Francophone représente une opportunité pour des professionnels, des chercheurs confirmés et des jeunes chercheurs de formations différentes de présenter des résultats expérimentaux nouveaux et d?échanger des idées de diverses perspectives.
Les propositions de communications porteront ainsi sur les études de la voix et de la parole normale et pathologiques, chez l?adulte et chez l?enfant. Les thèmes des 7èmes Journées de Phonétique Clinique incluront donc, de façon non exhaustive, les problématiques suivantes : - troubles phonétiques / phonologiques - troubles de la production / de la perception - troubles voix / parole - communication verbale / non verbale - troubles moteurs de la parole - Instrumentation et ressources en phonétique clinique
Pour cette 7° édition, une attention toute particulière sera accordée au control moteur de la parole et ses perturbations.

3-3-32 | (2017-09-28) Workshop at BICLCE2017 (7th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English), Vigo, Spain Speech Rhythm in L1, L2 and Learner Varieties of English Workshop at BICLCE2017 (7th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English) in Vigo, 28-30 September 2017 https://sites.google.com/site/rflinguistics/workshops/rhythm2017 Convenor: Robert Fuchs (Hong Kong Baptist University)
Speech rhythm has long been recognised as an important supra-segmental category of speech, yet its measurement, relevance and the theoretical soundness of the concept continue to be hotly debated. The arguably most widely supported approach considers speech rhythm to consist of a continuum ranging from (1) a syllable-timed pole, with relatively small differences in prominence between syllables, to (2) a stress-timed pole, with relatively large differences in prominence between syllables. Most L1 varieties of English are widely regarded to be more stress-timed than most L2 and learner varieties, and this is supported by a considerable amount of empirical evidence (e.g. Deterding 1994, 2001, Fuchs 2016, Gut 2005, Gut and Milde 2002, Low 1998). Yet, upon closer inspection, many of the concepts underlying this research appear to be contested. For one, L1 varieties of English are themselves heterogeneous in their rhythm. There is, for example, regional variation, with some dialects spoken in the British Isles being more syllable-timed than others (Ferragne 2008, Ferragne and Pellegrino 2004, White and Matty 2007a, 2007b, White et al. 2007). Similarly, in L2 varieties, sociolinguistic differences such as that between acrolect and basilect might go hand in hand with a difference in speech rhythm. As for learner Englishes, while there is good evidence of the transfer of rhythmic characteristics from L1 to L2 (e.g. Dellwo et al. 2009, Gut 2009, Jang 2008, Sarmah et al. 2009), more research is needed to show that this has consequences in terms of foreign accent and accent recognition. More generally, research on speech rhythm would benefit from studies showing that quantitative measures of speech rhythm (so-called rhythm metrics) are perceptually relevant and psychologically ?real? in the sense that what is measured is reflected in a certain kind of percept. Finally, the very nature and reliability of these rhythm metrics has been discussed extensively, but arguably inconclusively, in the past years, with some researchers attempting to identify those duration-based metrics that are most reliable (White and Mattys 2007a, White et al.2007, Wiget et al. 2010), others concluding that none of them are reliable (Arvaniti 2009, 2012, Arvaniti et al. 2008), and yet others suggesting metrics that focus on acoustic correlates of prominence other than duration, such as intensity (Fuchs 2016, He 2012, Low 1998), loudness (Fuchs 2014a), f0 (Cumming 2010, 2011, Fuchs 2014b) and sonority (Galves et al. 2012).
In order to address these issues, this workshop aims to bring together researchers working on one or more of the following aspects:
Apart from addressing one or more of the issues above, papers need be concerned with (a variety of) English or a language contact situation involving English (in keeping with the scope of the conference).
The workshop will consist of full papers and work in progress reports, which will be allotted 20 minutes for presentation (plus 10 minutes for discussion). The deadline for submission of abstracts (ca. 500 words, excluding title, references and keywords) is 15 December 2016. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by the end of January 2017. Abstracts should be sent to rfuchs@hkbu.edu.hk .

The International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. Developing systems that can robustly understand human-human communication or respond to human input requires identifying the best algorithms and their failure modes. In fields such as computer vision, speech recognition, and computational linguistics for example, the availability of datasets and common tasks have led to great progress. We invite the ICMI community to collectively define and tackle the scientific Grand Challenges in our domain for the next 5 years. ICMI Multimodal Grand Challenges aim to inspire new ideas in the ICMI community and create momentum for future collaborative work. Analysis, synthesis, and interactive tasks are all possible. Challenge papers will be indexed by ACM.
The grand challenge sessions are still to be confirmed. We invite organizers from various fields related to multimodal interaction to propose and run Grand Challenge events. We are looking for exciting and stimulating challenges including but not limited to the following categories:
- Dataset-driven challenge. This challenge will provide a dataset that is exemplary of the complexities of current and future multimodal problems, and one or more multimodal tasks whose performance can be objectively measured. Participants in the Challenge will evaluate their methods against the challenge data in order to identify areas of strengths and weakness.
- Use-case challenge. This challenge will provide an interactive problem system (e.g. dialog-based) and the associated resources, which can allow people to participate through the integration of specific modules or alternative full systems. Proposers should also establish systematic evaluation procedures.
We are also soliciting proposals that align with the theme of the conference which is machine learning for multimodal interactions.
Prospective organizers should submit a five-page maximum proposal containing the following information: 1. Title 2. Abstract appropriate for possible Web promotion of the Challenge 3. Detailed description of the challenge and its relevance to multimodal interaction 4. Plan for soliciting participation 5. Description of how submissions will be evaluated, and a list of proposed reviewers 6. Proposed schedule for releasing datasets (if applicable) and receiving submissions 7. Short biography of the organizers 8. Funding source (if any) that supports or could support the challenge organization.
Proposals will be evaluated based on originality, ambition, feasibility, and implementation plan. The ICMI organizers will offer support with basic logistics.
Important Dates and Contact Details Proposals should be emailed to both ICMI 2017 Multimodal Grand Challenge Chairs, Dr. Mohammad Soleymani (mohammad.soleymani@unige.ch) and Dr. Manuel Giuliani (manuel.giuliani@sbg.ac.at). Prospective organizers are also encouraged to contact the co-chairs if they have any questions. Continuation of or variants on the 2016 challenges are welcome, though we ask for submissions of this form to highlight the number of participants that attended during the previous year and describe what changes will be made from the previous year.
