IEEE Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop

The IEEE ASRU Workshop is a biennial flagship event of the IEEE Speech

and Language Processing Technical Committee.

The workshop will be held on December 13-17, 2021. Since the global

situation is still uncertain and given the slow vaccination progress

worldwide, it is likely that the workshop will be virtual. We are making

several efforts to make it in-person, but we depend on external

unpredictable factors. In any case appropriate and timely information

will be published in the website and widely distributed using all

possible ways. Even if the workshop is virtual, we hope that sometime

soon we will be able to welcome you all in Cartagena.

Topics

All papers related to automatic speech recognition and understanding

are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Automatic speech recognition
