INTERSPEECH 2017 CALL FOR PAPERS

 

The 18th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association (INTERSPEECH 2017) will be held August 20–24, 2017 on the campus of Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden. INTERSPEECH is the world’s largest and most comprehensive conference on the science and technology of spoken language processing. INTERSPEECH emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach covering all aspects of speech science and technology, spanning basic theories to clinical and technological applications.

 

INTERSPEECH 2017 will be organized around the theme SITUATED INTERACTION. Face-to-face interaction is the primary use of speech, and arguably also the richest, most effective and most prevalent kind of speech communication. The situation, context and human behaviors are intrinsic parts that continuously shape and form the interaction. In attempting to understand this situated interaction, we face a fruitful and real challenge for the speech communication community: To investigate what kinds of situational awareness, social sensibilities and conversational abilities we should endow machines with for them to engage in conversations with humans on human terms. Contributions to all other aspects of speech science and technology are also welcome.

 

In addition to regular oral and poster sessions, the conference will also feature plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, tutorials, special sessions, show & tell sessions, and exhibits. A number of satellite events will take place immediately before and after the conference. INTERSPEECH papers get digital object identifiers (DOI) and they are indexed in ISI, Engineering Index, Scopus, and Google Scholar.

 

The Calls for INTERSPEECH 2017 papers, special sessions & challenges, tutorials, and satellite workshops, are now open. Please follow the details of these and other news at the conference website www.interspeech2017.org.

CALL FOR TUTORIALS

We encourage proposals for tutorials addressing introductory topics or advanced topics in an introductory style, and tutorials targeting experienced researchers who want to dig deeper into a given new topic. Tutorials may introduce an emerging area of speech-related research, or present an overview of an established area of research. Tutorials will be held on Sunday, 20 August 2017. Brief proposals should be submitted by Wednesday, 1 February 2017. See http://interspeech2017.org/tutorials for further details.

 

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS & CHALLENGES

We encourage proposals for special sessions & challenges, covering interdisciplinary topics and/or important new emerging areas of interest related to the main conference topics. Submissions related to the special focus of the conference, Situated Interaction, are particularly welcome. Apart from supporting a particular theme, special sessions may also have a format that is different from a regular session. Brief proposals should be submitted by Thursday, 8 December 2016. See http://interspeech2017.org/special-sessions for further details.

 

CALL FOR SATELLITE WORKSHOPS

We encourage proposals for Satellite Workshops, to be held in proximity to the main conference. The Organizing Committee will work to facilitate the organization of such satellite workshops, to stimulate discussion in research areas related to speech and language, at locations in Europe, and around the same time as INTERSPEECH 2017. We are particularly looking forward to proposals from neighboring countries. The (extended) deadline for Satellite Workshops proposals is Thursday, 1 December 2016. See http://interspeech2017.org/satellites for further details.

 

 

We look forward to welcoming you in Stockholm next summer!

3-1-2(2017-08-20) Interspeech 2017 update

The preparations for Interspeech 2017 are in full swing!

As you may have noticed, we had a serious virus attack to Interspeech 2017 website and it too us a while to restore it. The website is now up and running again, although with still some issues concerning links that are not yet completely operational, at this time.

We have received a good number of proposals for Satellite Workshops as well as for Special Sessions and Challenges and we are working on the schedules and logistic details. We can announce that co-registration will be possible. Participants will be able to select participation in Satellite Workshops and pay the registration fee in connection with the registration for Interspeech 2017. The organizers of satellite events will be in touch with our PCO to get information on the registered participants and the universities involved in the satellite events will request from our PCO transfers of the events’ registration amounts. Except for the credit card fee (about 2 %), we do not expect any other costs for the organizers of the satellite events.

Sponsorships and exhibition requests are dropping in, which is a very good sign. We have started a Facebook page and taken over a Twitter account for Interspeech 2017. There is still some work to be done to activate properly those social media but we are working on it.

The three main Interspeech 2017 partners, Stockholm University, KTH and Karolinska Institute are coordinating efforts to make the conference a success and are deeply involved in the planning. To the good news, we can add that Stockholm University will not be charging Interspeech 2017 for the lecture halls or use of other spaces at the university and KTH/TMH will be hosting the Technical Committee meeting in May. Meanwhile, we are having regular planning meetings involving Stockholm University’s representatives of various infrastructures, like wifi, media services, restaurants and cafeterias, security, etc. and working hard to make sure that Interspeech 2017 will flow as smoothly and effectively as possible.

See you in Stockholm in August!
