| 3-1-2 | (2022-09-18) INTERSPEECH 2022 HUMAN AND HUMANIZING SPEECH TECHNOLOGY, Incheon Songdo Convensia, Korea. INTERSPEECH 2022 INTERSPEECH 2022 will be held in Incheon, Korea on September 18-22, 2022. INTERSPEECH is the world's largest and most comprehensive conference on the science and technology of spoken language processing. INTERSPEECH conferences emphasize interdisciplinary approaches addressing all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from basic theories to advanced applications. The theme of INTERSPEECH 2022 is 'Human and Humanizing Speech Technology'. Over the history of mankind, human's ability to formulate thoughts and complex feelings, and communication has been evolved by basically talking to the people around them. However, as machines become ever more present in our daily lives, so grows our need for realizing natural interaction with them. With the rapid progress in AI on speech and language applications over the 5G network services provided worldwide, we are at the onset of building our vision of creating a full ecosystem of natural speech and language technology applications. The conference theme of 'Human and Humanizing Speech Technology' formulates the vision of the scientific and industrial community to commit endeavors to continue the effort in speech science toward humanizing the spoken language technology, so the impact becomes a game changer that goes beyond the current state-of-the-art we serve, and ultimately the society as a whole experie nce the benefits. The paper submission has been opened on January 21, 2022. Submit your papers by March 21, 2022 to be considered! Call for Papers INTERSPEECH 2022 seeks original, novel and innovative papers covering all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from basic theories to advanced applications. Papers addressing scientific area topics related to the conference theme should be submitted electronically through the START V2 system. The working language of the conference is English, and papers must be written in English. The paper length should be up to four pages in two columns. An additional page can be used for references only.

| 3-1-8 | 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.
