INTERSPEECH 2017 CALL FOR PAPERS

The 18th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association (INTERSPEECH 2017) will be held August 20–24, 2017 on the campus of Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden. INTERSPEECH is the world’s largest and most comprehensive conference on the science and technology of spoken language processing. INTERSPEECH emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach covering all aspects of speech science and technology, spanning basic theories to clinical and technological applications.

INTERSPEECH 2017 will be organized around the theme SITUATED INTERACTION. Face-to-face interaction is the primary use of speech, and arguably also the richest, most effective and most prevalent kind of speech communication. The situation, context and human behaviors are intrinsic parts that continuously shape and form the interaction. In attempting to understand this situated interaction, we face a fruitful and real challenge for the speech communication community: To investigate what kinds of situational awareness, social sensibilities and conversational abilities we should endow machines with for them to engage in conversations with humans on human terms. Contributions to all other aspects of speech science and technology are also welcome.

In addition to regular oral and poster sessions, the conference will also feature plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, tutorials, special sessions, show & tell sessions, and exhibits. A number of satellite events will take place immediately before and after the conference. INTERSPEECH papers get digital object identifiers (DOI) and they are indexed in ISI, Engineering Index, Scopus, and Google Scholar.

The Calls for INTERSPEECH 2017 papers, special sessions & challenges, tutorials, and satellite workshops, are now open. Please follow the details of these and other news at the conference website www.interspeech2017.org.

Paper submissions must conform to the format defined in the INTERSPEECH 2017 Author’s Kit (available now). Paper submission will open in late January 2017, and the Paper submission deadline is Tuesday, 14 March 2017. See http://interspeech2017.org/papers for further details.

CALL FOR TUTORIALS

We encourage proposals for tutorials addressing introductory topics or advanced topics in an introductory style, and tutorials targeting experienced researchers who want to dig deeper into a given new topic. Tutorials may introduce an emerging area of speech-related research, or present an overview of an established area of research. Tutorials will be held on Sunday, 20 August 2017. Brief proposals should be submitted by Wednesday, 1 February 2017. See http://interspeech2017.org/tutorials for further details.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS & CHALLENGES

We encourage proposals for special sessions & challenges, covering interdisciplinary topics and/or important new emerging areas of interest related to the main conference topics. Submissions related to the special focus of the conference, Situated Interaction, are particularly welcome. Apart from supporting a particular theme, special sessions may also have a format that is different from a regular session. Brief proposals should be submitted by Thursday, 8 December 2016. See http://interspeech2017.org/special-sessions for further details.

CALL FOR SATELLITE WORKSHOPS

We encourage proposals for Satellite Workshops, to be held in proximity to the main conference. The Organizing Committee will work to facilitate the organization of such satellite workshops, to stimulate discussion in research areas related to speech and language, at locations in Europe, and around the same time as INTERSPEECH 2017. We are particularly looking forward to proposals from neighboring countries. The (extended) deadline for Satellite Workshops proposals is Thursday, 1 December 2016. See http://interspeech2017.org/satellites for further details.

We look forward to welcoming you in Stockholm next summer!
