3-1-1 | (2019-09-11) CfSS SIGDIAL 2019, Stockholm, Sweden SIGDIAL 2019 11-13 September 2019, Stockholm, Sweden Second Call for Special Sessions http://workshops.sigdial.org/conference20
Special Session Submission Deadline: January 28, 2019 Special Session Notification: February 18, 2019 The Special Interest Group on Dialogue and Discourse (SIGDIAL) organizers welcome the submission of special session proposals. A SIGDIAL special session is the length of a regular session at the conference, and may be organized as a poster session, a panel session, a poster session with panel discussion, or an oral presentation session. Special sessions may, at the discretion of the SIGDIAL organizers, be held as parallel sessions. The papers submitted to special sessions are handled by the special session organizers, but for the submitted papers to be in the SIGDIAL proceedings, they have to undergo the same review process as regular papers. The reviewers for the special session papers will be taken from the SIGDIAL program committee itself, taking into account the suggestions of the session organizers, and the program chairs will make acceptance decisions. In other words, special session organizers decide what appears in the session, while the program chairs decide what appears in the proceedings and the rest of the conference program. We welcome special session proposals on any topic of interest to the discourse and dialogue communities. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to Explainable AI, Evaluation, Annotation, and End-to-end systems. Submissions: Those wishing to organize a special session should prepare a two-page proposal containing: a summary of the topic of the special session; a list of organizers and sponsors; a list of people who may submit and participate in the session; and a requested format (poster/panel/oral session). These proposals should be sent to conference[at]sigdial.org by the special session proposal deadline. Special session proposals will be reviewed jointly by the general chair and program co-chairs. Links: Those wishing to propose a special session may want to look at some of the sessions organized at recent SIGDIAL meetings.

3-1-2 | (2019-09-15) Welcome to INTERSPEECH 2019 (updated) Welcome to INTERSPEECH 2019 - Willkommen in Graz, Austria, Sept 15-19, 2019 Important Dates Coming Up Soon
INTERSPEECH 2019 is the 20th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association ISCA and this anniversary edition will introduce several innovative features. These innovations will certainly contribute to raise the attractiveness of the conference beyond the high levels developed already over the past two decades: Crossroads of Speech and Language: Our conference theme comprises three key elements important in speech research today: language diversity, diversity of applications, and diversity of representation. A complete list of the scientific areas and topics including special sessions is available at https://www.interspeech2019.org/calls/areas-and-topics/. Survey presentations have been evolved from the perspective talks at INTERSPEECH 2018 in Hyderabad. The presentations will be scheduled at the start of suitable oral presentation sessions, and will be allocated a 40-minute time slot for presentation and discussion. Presentations should aim to give an overview of the state-of-the-art for a specific topic covered by one or more of the main technical areas of the conference. The presenters will also be invited to submit survey papers to the ISCA supported journals of Computer, Speech and Language and Speech Communication. For further details, see https://www.interspeech2019.org/program/surveys/. For our Show & Tell Demonstrations we have evolved the submission format in order to improve the reviewing process. Therefore, next to a two-page description, we have asked for the upload of a simple video of your demonstration that will help deciding which demonstrations will raise the highest interest at the conference. For more details see https://www.interspeech2019.org/program/show_and_tell/. The 1st INTERSPEECH Hackathon will set a stimulating atmosphere for the most creative developers in our community and beyond: through jams and challenges, we will bring together some of our brightest minds, students who are speech science and technology aficionados and who come to Graz as conference participants, as well as students who are representing the highly interdisciplinary community of several partner universities in Graz and beyond. Watch out for details on our website https://www.interspeech2019.org/program/special_events/ or contact directly our hackathon chairs Elmar Nöth (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) and Johanna Pirker (TU Graz) at hackathon@interspeech2019.org. We look forward to your participation in INTERSPEECH 2019! We strive to make this a memorable event for all of you - one highlight to watch out for will be the Dancing INTERSPEECH Soiree, An Austrian Ballroom Extravaganza at Congress Graz. If you have time to arrive a few days earlier, you can enjoy the 'Aufsteirern' festival of Styrian folk culture https://www.aufsteirern.at/aufsteirern/english-information/ and right after the conference the 'Steirische Herbst' takes over - a contemporary arts festival of all genres https://www.steirischerherbst.at/en .
