KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Eneko Agirre, Universidad del PaÃs Vasco, Spain
Anna Rogers, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
The conference is organized by the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk
University, Brno, and the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of
West Bohemia, Pilsen. The conference is supported by International
Speech Communication Association.
Venue: Brno, Czech Republic
TUTORIAL
The conference program will be supplemented with a hands-on tutorial
Speech recognition on the edge
Prof. Daniel Hromada; Hyungjoong Kim
Keywords: Automatic Speech Recognition; Speech Command Classification;
DeepSpeech; RaspberryPi; NVIDIA Jetson; Python; Linux; Websockets
During this workshop, participants will be introduced to diverse ways
how speech-to-text (STT) inferences can be realized on non-cloud, local
(i.e. edge-computing) architectures. Participants will acquire
knowledge and competence concerning intricacies and nuances of
execution of two different types of ASR systems (DeepSpeech and Random
Forests) on three different hardware architectures (e.g.
RaspberryPiZero (armv6); RaspberryPi 4 (armv7 without CUDA) and NVIDIA
Jetson Xavier (armv8 / aarch64 with CUDA). Thus, the hands-on workshop
participants will experience the transformation of all three hardware
platforms into a low-cost local STT inference engine.
TSD SERIES
TSD series evolved as a prime forum for interaction between researchers in
both spoken and written language processing from all over the world.
Proceedings of TSD form a book published by Springer-Verlag in their
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. TSD Proceedings
are regularly indexed by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation
Index/Web of Science. Moreover, LNAI series are listed in all major
citation databases such as DBLP, SCOPUS, EI, INSPEC or COMPENDEX.
TOPICS
Topics of the conference will include (but are not limited to):
Corpora and Language Resources (monolingual, multilingual,
text and spoken corpora, large web corpora, disambiguation,
specialized lexicons, dictionaries)
Speech Recognition (multilingual, continuous, emotional
speech, handicapped speaker, out-of-vocabulary words,
alternative way of feature extraction, new models for
acoustic and language modelling)
Tagging, Classification and Parsing of Text and Speech
(morphological and syntactic analysis, synthesis and
disambiguation, multilingual processing, sentiment analysis,
credibility analysis, automatic text labeling, summarization,
authorship attribution)
Speech and Spoken Language Generation (multilingual, high
fidelity speech synthesis, computer singing)
Semantic Processing of Text and Speech (information
extraction, information retrieval, data mining, semantic web,
knowledge representation, inference, ontologies, sense
disambiguation, plagiarism detection, fake news detection)
Integrating Applications of Text and Speech Processing
(machine translation, natural language understanding,
question-answering strategies, assistive technologies)
Automatic Dialogue Systems (self-learning, multilingual,
question-answering systems, dialogue strategies, prosody in
dialogues)
Multimodal Techniques and Modelling (video processing, facial
animation, visual speech synthesis, user modelling, emotions
and personality modelling)
Papers on processing of languages other than English are strongly
encouraged.

LOCATION
Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic with a
population of almost 400.000 and is the country's judiciary and
trade-fair center. Brno is the capital of South Moravia, which is
located in the south-east part of the Czech Republic and is known
for a wide range of cultural, natural, and technical sights.
South Moravia is a traditional wine region. Brno had been a Royal
City since 1347 and with its six universities it forms a cultural
center of the region.
Brno can be reached easily by direct flights from London, and by
trains or buses from Vienna (150 km) or Prague (230 km).
For the participants with some extra time, nearby places may
also be of interest. Local ones include: Brno Castle now called
Spilberk, Veveri Castle, the Old and New City Halls, the
Augustine Monastery with St. Thomas Church and crypt of Moravian
Margraves, Church of St. James, Cathedral of St. Peter & Paul,
Cartesian Monastery in Kralovo Pole, the famous Villa Tugendhat
designed by Mies van der Rohe along with other important
buildings of between-war Czech architecture.
For those willing to venture out of Brno, Moravian Karst with
Macocha Chasm and Punkva caves, battlefield of the Battle of
three emperors (Napoleon, Russian Alexander and Austrian Franz
- Battle by Austerlitz), Chateau of Slavkov (Austerlitz),
Pernstejn Castle, Buchlov Castle, Lednice Chateau, Buchlovice
