ISCApad #259 |
Friday, January 10, 2020 by Chris Wellekens |
Dear Members,
Welcome to the 1st issue of 2020. I wish you a wounderful year (apparently it does not start very well inthe world). May our reseaerches be very productive and our conferences very convivial. I wish you good research results, excellent accepted papers and recognition of the quality of your work. Let us encourage our Chinese colleagues who are organising INTERSPEECH 2020. I remain at your disposal for propagating news concerning speech science and technology. Please take account that ISCApad is a monthly newsletter and consequently, make your announcements in time.
Happy New Year,
Chris Wellekens ISCApad editor

Vademecum ISCApad is the monthly newspaper of ISCA. It is edited independantly of ISCA web but in collaboration with ISCA secretariat: ISCApad and ISCA web are thus complementary. All announcements are free: it is a service to the community. They must be sent to the editor at iscapad@isca-speech.org before the 5th of each month to be included in the issue of this month (tentatively posted on the web on the 10th of the month). The member mailing list is used to inform the members as soon as a new issue is posted on the web. Members should check whether the mailing is not blocked by the server of their company. ISCA member mailing list is never used by the editor for other reason but on special request of urgency to the editor (cancellation of a conference or modification of its venue or dates). All sections are regularly updated but not at the same frequencies. Section devoted to events (ISCA events or others) are updated each month: event announcements are kept posted up to their date. Only events related to speech science and technology are accepted. The date in front of the title is the first day of the event. organizers who want to modify a deadline between two ISCApad issues should send a personal message to the editor who will modify 'on the fly'. Section announcing new positions is open to every announcer of a speech job; of course disciplines strongly related to speech are also considered like deep and machine learning or to speech applications (medical, robotics, man-machine communication,...). Announcements are deleted after six months but a premature cancellation asked by the announcer. The date in front of the title is the date of the reception of the announcement by the editor. Be attentive: announcers are sometimes employment agencies. Section on ressources is updated at the request of ressource providers (LDC, ELRA, Speechocean,...). Softwares and databases proposed by individual researchers are usually free of charge. They are just announced and ISCA will never serve as an intermediate for a commercial transaction. Section on new books is open to recently published books in speech science. It is not intented to write any comments on them. They are announced together with the introduction (4th cover page) by the book publisher. Usually book announcements are kept on line for one year... Future Journal issues are withdrawn at the tentative publication date or if not known, at the final version deadline. Young PhD's are heartly welcome to announce the title of their recent thesis along the format they can mimic from the current ISCApad issue. 'Old' theses will be skipped after a 'reasonable' delay.
