== Topic:
MLSLP is a recurring workshop, often joint with machine learning or speech/natural language processing conferences. While research in speech and language processing has always involved machine learning, current research is benefiting from even closer interaction between these fields. Speech and language processing is continually mining new ideas from machine learning (ML) and ML, in turn, is devoting more interest to speech and language applications. This workshop aims to be a venue for identifying and incubating the next waves of research directions for interaction and collaboration. The workshop will not be yet another venue for applications of deep learning to speech and language processing, as this is already well covered by major conferences. It will, however, include new directions for deep learning in speech/language, as well as other emerging ideas. In general, the workshop will (1) discuss the emerging research ideas with potential for impact in speech/language and (2) bring together relevant researchers from ML and speech/language who may not regularly interact at conferences. MLSLP is a workshop of SIGML, the Special Interest Group on machine learning in speech and language processing of ISCA (the International Speech Communication Association).
== Call for Participation
Abstracts should be submitted electronically via the following submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mlslp2018
Abstracts are limited to 2 pages of text, plus one page (maximum) for references only. Please use the main Interspeech two-column format, with the 2-page limit. Submissions that exceed the page limit or do not conform to the guidelines will be rejected without review. Submissions must be submitted in PDF format.
Submitted abstracts may include new work and/or a summary of the authors' work that has been recently published or is under review in another conference or journal. In the interest of spurring discussion, we also encourage authors to submit work in progress with only preliminary results.
== Preliminary Program:
The workshop will include the following events:
* A series of talks by senior researchers in the field of speech and language processing
* A series of short talks by postdoctoral scholars/graduate students
* A poster session for workshop attendees to present their own research
* A lunch for all the attendees
