Saturday, February 10, 2024 by Chris Wellekens |
INTERSPEECH 2024 Venue Due to the current security situation in Israel and after consulting the ISCA board, the Interspeech 2024 organizing committee decided to move the conference venue to another country in the eastern Mediterranean - Greece. Details will follow. We hope that one of the upcoming editions of Interspeech will take place in Jerusalem. To stay updated, we invite prospective participants to regularly visit the website www.interspeech2024.org and reach out to IS24 PCO, Ortra, at interspeech2024@ortra.com and/or ISCA conference coordinators at conferences@isca-speech.org.
Call for Paper
Important Dates
Paper Submission Portal Open: 17 January 2024 Paper Submission Deadline: 2 March 2024 Paper Update Deadline: 9 March 2024 Paper Acceptance Notification: 6 June 2024
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. Interspeech 2024 will feature oral and poster sessions, plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, tutorials, special sessions and challenges, show & tell, exhibits, and satellite events. The theme of Interspeech 2024 is Speech and Beyond. For decades, our focus has been on enhancing speech technologies across various dimensions: spontaneous speech, large vocabulary, different conditions, robustness in adverse acoustic environments, multiple languages, speaker verification, and language identification. This effort continues. As technology evolves, we are ready to embrace the next set of challenges and explore new application domains. The organizing committee of Interspeech 2024 is committed to the advancement of speech technology in the wider sense while seeking new challenges. A non-exhaustive list of topics that goes beyond the traditional Interspeech topics includes: speech and health, animal voice recognition and understanding, speech for memory and heritage, voice communication across ages, and human-machine interaction, including gaming, virtual and augmented reality, and robot audition. We hope you will join our vision on 'Speech and Beyond'.
Paper Submission
Interspeech 2024 seeks original and innovative papers covering all aspects of speech science and technology. The language of the conference is English, so papers must be written in English. The paper length is up to four pages in two columns with an additional page for references only. Submitted papers must conform to the format defined in the author's kit provided on the conference website and may optionally be accompanied by multimedia files. Authors must declare that their contributions are original and that they have not submitted their papers elsewhere for publication. Papers must be submitted electronically and will be evaluated through rigorous peer review on the basis of novelty and originality, technical correctness, clarity of presentation, key strengths, and quality of references. The Technical Programme Committee will decide which papers to include in the conference programme using peer review as the primary criterion, with secondary criteria of addressing the conference theme, and diversity across the programme as a whole.
Blue Sky Track
This year, we also encourage the authors to consider submitting to the new BLUE SKY track of highly innovative papers in fields or directions that have not yet been explored with strong theoretical or conceptual justification. Large-scale experimental evaluation will not be required for papers in this track. Incremental work will not be accepted. If you think your work satisfies these requirements, please consider submitting a paper to this challenging and competitive track. Please note that to achieve the objectives of this BLUE SKY track, we will ask the most experienced reviewers (mainly our ISCA Fellow members) to assess the proposals.
Scientific Areas and Topics
Interspeech 2024 embraces a broad range of science and technology in speech, language and communication, including - but not limited to - the following topics:

Call for Tutorials
Important Dates
Proposals of tutorials due: 15 February 2024 Notification of pre-selection: 31 March 2024 Final list of tutorials: 15 May 2024
Submissions for tutorials are invited for Interspeech 2024 https://interspeech2024.org/. The tutorial Day of Interspeech 2024 (on September 1st) is an opportunity for experts in a speech domain to deliver rich learning experiences to attendees in areas that include longstanding research challenges, current topics of research and emerging areas. The potential audience for tutorials includes a broad spectrum of Interspeech attendees ranging from experienced researchers with an established track record in speech science and technology, to early-stage researchers and researchers interested in learning about a new domain. In order to offer a high quality and diverse set of tutorials at Interspeech 2024, we invite proposals that address introductory and advanced topics in a tutorial style. Proposals that target early-stage researchers, as well as those aimed at experienced researchers who might want to delve deeper into a new speech-related area are welcome. Tutorials will be 3 hours in duration, and can introduce an emerging or currently active area of speech-related research, or present an overview of an established area of research, rather than focus on the presenter's individual research area. The theme of Interspeech 2024 is Speech and Beyond. Whilst it is not a requirement to address this theme in a Tutorial, we encourage proposers to keep it in mind and to explore ways it might resonate in their Tutorial. We also encourage proposals that address the pillars of responsible AI (fairness, explainability, sustainability, security, ...). Date and Venue of the Tutorial
Proposals should follow the proposed format:
Submission Procedure:
Proposals for the Interspeech 2024 tutorials must be no more than 4 pages long and must conform to the format stated above (please, ensure that the headings listed above are identified clearly).
Proposals should be submitted by email to tutorials@interspeech2024.org
By submitting a proposal, the presenter(s) understand the ISCA policy of strongly encouraging video recording of the tutorial for education purposes if the proposal is accepted. Access to recording materials will be given through the ISCA Video Archives.

Each special session proposal must contain the following information:
Proposals will be evaluated by the organizing committee in consultation with the ISCA Technical Committee for relevance and significance to the conference. Papers for approved Special Sessions must be submitted according to the same schedule and procedure as used for regular papers. Papers will undergo the same review process by anonymous and independent reviewers. Special Session organizers will be involved in the reviewer assignment and in the final decisions. Note that the ISCA board has decided that challenges/special sessions can run for a maximum of three years in total. If this rule makes your proposal ineligible, we encourage you to organize your event as an Interspeech Satellite Workshop instead. Proposals as well as any questions should be submitted to the Special Session Chairs: Mathew Magimai Doss (Idiap Research Institute, Switzerland) and Elizabeth Shriberg (Ellipsis Health, USA) at specialsessions@interspeech2024.org.
