3-1-4 | ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARS Now's the time of year that seminar programmes get fixed up.. please direct the attention of whoever organises your seminars to the ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARS scheme (introduction below). There is now a good choice of speakers: see https://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/distinguished-lecturers/online-seminars ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARSA seminar programme is an important part of the life of a research lab, especially for its research students, but it's difficult for scientists to travel to give talks at the moment. However, presentations may be given on line and, paradoxically, it is thus possible for labs to engage international speakers who they wouldn't normally be able to afford.
Speakers may pre-record their talks if they wish, but they don't have to. It is up to the host lab to contact speakers and make the arrangements. Talks can be state-of-the-art, or tutorials. If you make use of this scheme and arrange a seminar, please send brief details (lab, speaker, date) to education@isca-speech.org If you wish to join the scheme as a speaker, we need is a title, a short abstract, a 1 paragraph biopic and contact details. Please send them to education@isca-speech.org PS. The online seminar scheme is now up and running, with 7 speakers so far:
Jean-Luc Schwartz, Roger Moore, Martin Cooke, Sakriani Sakti, Thomas Hueber, John Hansen and Karen Livescu.

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.

Discours, littérature et littératie numérique : Enjeux et perspectives artistiques et pédagogiques
Le jeudi 6 janvier 2022, de 8h30 (accueil) à 17h15, à Aix-Marseille Université.
Adresse exacte : Aix-Marseille Université UFR ALLSH, Bâtiment T1, Pôle Multimédia, Salle de Colloque 29 Av. Robert Schuman, Aix-en-Provence
Cette JE « Discours, littérature et littératie numérique : enjeux et perspectives artistiques et pédagogiques » vise à valoriser la littérature numérique à des fins éducatives et formatives. Elle cherche en outre à fédérer à Aix-Marseille Université - et au-delà - celles et ceux intéressés par cette question afin d’insuffler une dynamique de recherche qui pourrait enrichir l’offre de formation en français (langue première comme étrangère) et plus largement en langues, du primaire à l'université. Cette rencontre permettra en outre d’envisager collaborativement des exploitations pédagogiques possibles des ressources disponibles, en collaboration éventuelle avec les artistes, tout en documentant scientifiquement ce pan de la littérature encore mal connu.

33rd Conference on Electronic Speech Signal Processing (ESSV)
2-4 March, 2022, Sonderborg, Denmark
Dear colleagues!
We are pleased to announce that the 33rd edition of the Conference on Electronic Speech Signal Processing (ESSV) will take place in early March in Sondeborg, DK. The ESSV conference series spans a wide range of fields that concern the creation, analysis, and (digital) processing of speech signals, with a special focus on applied research, i.e. practical applications and technologies. We therefore ask for contributions (in German or English) on the following topics:
- Speech synthesis and speech generation;
- Speech dialogue systems, also multimodal ones;
- Human-robot and human-computer interaction;
- Quality assessment of spoken language and speech technology;
- Speech recognition and natural language comprehension;
- Nonspeech signals related to speech: Music, biosignals and technical signals;
- Applications in medical, nursing, and rehabilitation technology;
- Cognitive and neural systems;
- Speech technology in industrial and home sectors;
- Measurement, processing and modeling of articulation;
- Phonetic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of speech technology;
- Studies and applications of paralinguistics;
- Modeling of speech acquisition processes;
- Acoustic and visual pattern recognition related to speech communication.
Contributions on related topics are also very welcome. We particularly encourage students to submit papers and apply for ESSV's annual ?Best Student Paper Award?, which will be presented on the last day of the conference. In addition, guests from research, industry and public institutions as well as interested students are warmly welcome even without an own conference paper. All accepted papers will be published in a conference volume, which will appear in the series 'Studientexte zur Sprachkommunikation' (TUDpress), as well as in the public online archive of the ESSV, see http://www.essv.de/ .

-----------------
As of today, we are firmly determined to hold 'our' ESSV as a conference in the real world or, alternatively, at least as a hybrid conference. The chances of switching back to the real world for the ESSV are good. You will always find the latest travel and pandemic regulations on the website of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs: https://en.coronasmitte.dk/rules-and-regulations/entry-into-denmark
We will also keep you up to date by email, especially if there are or must be new decisions about how we can hold the conference. If you have any questions about the trip or any other matters relating to the 33rd ESSV, please contact us at ***essv2022@essv.de*** at any time!
Have a great autumn time and stay healthy!

3-3-8 | (2022-05-20) 2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) 2022 , Sonderborg, DK 2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) 2022 Theme: Articulation and Prosody: Between Interface and Integration Date: 20-21 May 2022, Sønderborg, Denmark
The links between articulation and prosody are a subject of growing interest. The growing interest is, among other things, driven by increasingly powerful measurement, analysis and recording techniques, by the discovery of syntagmatic and paradigmatic structures in prosody and the simultaneous undermining of strictly linear-segmental models in articulation, as well as by the rapid rise of speech technology and the associated increasing relevance of emotions, speaking styles, attitudes, social hierarchies, social-role marking, etc. But, how far have we really come in understanding the links between articulation and prosody?
As a satellite meeting to the 11th Speech Prosody, the 2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) will be a forum to discuss these questions. Continuing the successful concept of the first SEFOS, SEFOS II shall again be a strongly interdisciplinary event. We therefore cordially invite not only all members of the speech-science (and speech-prosody) communities to take part in SEFOS II, but also interested members from related fields such as general linguistics, medicine, audiology, psychology, rhetoric, pedagogy, language/speech technology, and engineering sciences.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS --------------------------------
Prof. Dr. Cécile Fougeron Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Birkholz
IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------
Note that SEFOS II has teamed up with the proceedings branch of deGruyter, 'Sciendo', to be able to publish your contributions as widely visible (open access) proceedings papers in journal-article length (max. 15 pages including figures and references; shorter papers are accepted too, of course). The SEFOS II proceedings will be submitted to major indexing services, such as DOAJ, Publons, Web of Science (CPCI), Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, etc.
PAPER TEMPLATES ----------------------------- https://event.sdu.dk/sefos/downloads
SELECTION OF SCIENTIFIC AREA TOPICS ------------------------------------------------------------
- Coarticulation within and across the segment-prosody divide - Effects speaker-specific features (age, gender,…) on patterns of articulation and prosody
