Interspeech 2018: 4th Doctoral Consortium – Submission Open; Deadline Extended

Date: September 1, 2018; 10 am - 5 pm
Location: International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad

The Student Advisory Committee of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA-SAC) is pleased to call for applications for the 4th Doctoral Consortium. This event extends an opportunity for doctoral candidates to present and discuss their research with a panel of experts. The discussion would include a feedback on the evolution and progress of their research. It also helps them to identify the roadmap and additional studies, which could help refine the shape of their thesis.

The doctoral consortium will be a one-day event (including lunch and coffee breaks) being organised on Saturday, September 1, 2018, at the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad, Gachibowli. The applicants are required to submit a two-page extended abstract of their PhD research work. The shortlisted candidates would be invited to the consortium where they are required to present a summary of their research. Each candidate will be given 30 minutes for the presentation, which will be followed by a discussion of 15 minutes, led by a panel of experts.

Prospective doctoral students from speech related disciplines are invited to apply. The selection of participants will be based on the submitted abstracts.

  • The invitation is open to all participants of Interspeech 2018.
