Call for papers1st Automatic Assessment of Parkinsonian Speech Workshop (AAPS2019)Cambridge, MA, USA, September 20th-21st, 2019
The organizing committee has the pleasure to invite you to the 1st Automatic Assessment of Parkinsonian Speech Workshop which will be held in Cambridge, MA, USA, at the premises of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MotivationParkinson’s disease affects the cells producing dopamine in the brain. Parkinson’s disease symptoms include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in the speech. After diagnosis, treatments can help relieve symptoms, but there is no cure. Thus an early diagnosis is essential and the speech is one of those biomarkers requiring more research to evaluate its potentiality for this purpose. Despite of the amount of research in the field, there is still room for developing new knowledge, not only about the characteristics of the speech of people affected with Parkinson’s disease, but also about its correlation with the extent of the disease. Automatic systems to evaluate and assess the disease will take advantage of the new knowledge generated in the field to make more accurate and robust systems. AAPS'2019 aims at fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and interactions among researchers in the field of the automatic assessment of parkinsonian speech, thus reaching the whole scientific community. TopicsTopics of interest include, but are not limited to:
SubmissionProspective authors are asked to electronically submit an extended abstract of their contributions using the online management tool.
