3-1-2 | (2023-08-20) INTERSPEECH 2023 First Call for Papers INTERSPEECH 2023 First Call for Papers
INTERSPEECH is the world’s largest and most comprehensive conference on the science and technology of spoken language processing. INTERSPEECH conferences emphasise interdisciplinary approaches addressing all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from basic theories to advanced applications.
INTERSPEECH 2023 will take place in Dublin, Ireland, from August 20-24th 2023 and 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 2023 is Inclusive Spoken Language Science and Technology – Breaking Down Barriers. Whilst it is not a requirement to address this theme, we encourage submissions that: report performance metric distributions in addition to averages; break down results by demographic; employ diverse data; evaluate with diverse target users; report barriers that could prevent other researchers adopting a technique, or users from benefitting. This is not an exhaustive list, and authors are encouraged to discuss the implications of the conference theme for their own work.
Papers are especially welcome from authors who identify as being under-represented in the speech science and technology community, whether that is because of geographical location, economic status, race, age, gender, sexual orientation or any other characteristic. Paper SubmissionINTERSPEECH 2023 seeks original and innovative papers covering all aspects of speech science and technology. The working 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 (https://www.interspeech2023.org/), 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. Scientific areas and topics
INTERSPEECH 2022 embraces a broad range of science and technology in speech, language and communication, including – but not limited to – the following topics:

3-1-6 | 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.

3-3-3 | (2023-01-04) Workshop on Socially Interactive Human-like Virtual Agents (SIVA'23), Waikoloa, Hawaii CALL FOR PAPERS: SIVA'23 Workshop on Socially Interactive Human-like Virtual Agents From expressive and context-aware multimodal generation of digital humans to understanding the social cognition of real humans Submission (to be openened July, 22 2022): https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIVA2023 SIVA'23 workshop: January, 4 or 5 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://www.stms-lab.fr/agenda/siva/detail/ FG 2023 conference: January 4-8 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://fg2023.ieee-biometrics.org/ OVERVIEW Due to the rapid growth of virtual, augmented, and hybrid reality together with spectacular advances in artificial intelligence, the ultra-realistic generation and animation of digital humans with human-like behaviors is becoming a massive topic of interest. This complex endeavor requires modeling several elements of human behavior including the natural coordination of multimodal behaviors including text, speech, face, and body, plus the contextualization of behavior in response to interlocutors of different cultures and motivations. Thus, challenges in this topic are two folds—the generation and animation of coherent multimodal behaviors, and modeling the expressivity and contextualization of the virtual agent with respect to human behavior, plus understanding and modeling virtual agent behavior adaptation to increase human’s engagement. The aim of this workshop is to connect traditionally distinct communities (e.g., speech, vision, cognitive neurosciences, social psychology) to elaborate and discuss the future of human interaction with human-like virtual agents. We expect contributions from the fields of signal processing, speech and vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, perceptual studies, and cognitive and neuroscience. Topics will range from multimodal generative modeling of virtual agent behaviors, and speech-to-face and posture 2D and 3D animation, to original research topics including style, expressivity, and context-aware animation of virtual agents. Moreover, the availability of controllable real-time virtual agent models can be used as state-of-the-art experimental stimuli and confederates to design novel, groundbreaking experiments to advance understanding of social cognition in humans. Finally, these virtual humans can be used to create virtual environments for medical purposes including rehabilitation and training. SCOPE Topics of interest include but are not limited to: + Analysis of Multimodal Human-like Behavior - Analyzing and understanding of human multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face) - Creating datasets for the study and modeling of human multimodal behavior - Coordination and synchronization of human multimodal behavior - Analysis of style and expressivity in human multimodal behavior - Cultural variability of social multimodal behavior + Modeling and Generation of Multimodal Human-like Behavior - Multimodal generation of human-like behavior (speech, gesture, face) - Face and gesture generation driven by text and speech - Context-aware generation of multimodal human-like behavior - Modeling of style and expressivity for the generation of multimodal behavior - Modeling paralinguistic cues for multimodal behavior generation - Few-shots or zero-shot transfer of style and expressivity - Slightly-supervised adaptation of multimodal behavior to context + Psychology and Cognition of of Multimodal Human-like Behavior - Cognition of deep fakes and ultra-realistic digital manipulation of human-like behavior - Social agents/robots as tools for capturing, measuring and understanding multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face) - Neuroscience and social cognition of real humans using virtual agents and physical robots IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline September, 12 2022 Notification of Acceptance: October, 15 2022 Camera-ready deadline: October, 31 2022 Workshop: January, 4 or 5 2023 VENUE The SIVA workshop is organized as a satellite workshop of the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition 2023. The workshop will be collocated with the FG 2023 and WACV 2023 conferences at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort, Hawaii, USA. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND SUBMISSION DETAILS Submissions must be original and not published or submitted elsewhere. Short papers of 3 pages excluding references encourage submissions of early research in original emerging fields. Long paper of 6 to 8 pages excluding references promote the presentation of strongly original contributions, positional or survey papers. The manuscript should be formatted according to the Word or Latex template provided on the workshop website. All submissions will be reviewed by 3 reviewers. The reviewing process will be single-blinded. Authors will be asked to disclose possible conflict of interests, such as cooperation in the previous two years. Moreover, care will be taken to avoid reviewers from the same institution as the authors. Authors should submit their articles in a single pdf file in the submission website - no later than September, 12 2022. Notification of acceptance will be sent by October, 15 2022, and the camera-ready version of the papers revised according to the reviewers comments should be submitted by October, 31 2022. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the FG'2023 conference. More information can be found on the SIVA website. DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION The format of this workshop will be hybrid online and onsite. This format proposes format of scientific exchanges in order to satisfy travel restrictions and COVID sanitary precautions, to promote inclusion in the research community (travel costs are high, online presentations will encourage research contributions from geographical regions which would normally be excluded), and to consider ecological issues (e.g., CO2 footprint). The organizing committee is committed to paying attention to equality, diversity, and inclusivity in consideration of invited speakers. This effort starts from the organizing committee and the invited speakers to the program committee.

3-3-5 | (2023-04-02) Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23) , Dublin, Ireland ++ CALL FOR PAPERS ++
**************************************************************************** Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23)
Held in conjunction with the 45th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR'23)
April 2nd, 2023 - Dublin, Ireland
Website: https://text2story23.inesctec.pt **************************************************************************** ++ Important Dates ++ - Submission deadline: January 23rd, 2023 - Acceptance Notification Date: March 3rd, 2023 - Camera-ready copies: March 17th, 2023 - Workshop: April 2nd, 2023
++ Overview ++ Recent years have shown a stream of continuously evolving information making it unmanageable and time-consuming for an interested reader to track and process and to keep up with all the essential information and the various aspects of a story. Automated narrative extraction from text offers a compelling approach to this problem. It involves identifying the sub-set of interconnected raw documents, extracting the critical narrative story elements, and representing them in an adequate final form (e.g., timelines) that conveys the key points of the story in an easy-to-understand format. Although, information extraction and natural language processing have made significant progress towards an automatic interpretation of texts, the problem of automated identification and analysis of the different elements of a narrative present in a document (set) still presents significant unsolved challenges
++ List of Topics ++ In the sixth edition of the Text2Story workshop, we aim to bring to the forefront the challenges involved in understanding the structure of narratives and in incorporating their representation in well-established models, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) which are now common and form the backbone of almost every IR and NLP application. It is hoped that the workshop will provide a common forum to consolidate the multi-disciplinary efforts and foster discussions to identify the wide-ranging issues related to the narrative extraction task. To this regard, we encourage the submission of high-quality and original submissions covering the following topics:
++ Dataset ++ We challenge the interested researchers to consider submitting a paper that makes use of the tls-covid19 dataset (published at ECIR'21) under the scope and purposes of the text2story workshop. tls-covid19 consists of a number of curated topics related to the Covid-19 outbreak, with associated news articles from Portuguese and English news outlets and their respective reference timelines as gold-standard. While it was designed to support timeline summarization research tasks it can also be used for other tasks including the study of news coverage about the COVID-19 pandemic. A script to reconstruct and expand the dataset is available at https://github.com/LIAAD/tls-covid19. The article itself is available at this link: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-72113-8_33
++ Submission Guidelines ++
We invite two kinds of submissions:
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published at CEUR workshop proceedings (indexed in Scopus and DBLP) as long as they don't conflict with previous publication rights.
++ Workshop Format ++ Participants of accepted papers will be given 15 minutes for oral presentations.

With its approx. 171,000 inhabitants it is the fourth largest city in the Czech Republic and an important industrial, commercial, and administrative centre. It is also the capital of the Pilsen Region. In addition, it has been elected the European Capital of Culture for 2015 by the Council of the European Union. The city of Plzen has a convenient location in the centre of West Bohemia, close to the German border, on the confluence of four rivers. The place lied on the crossroads of important medieval trade routes and nowadays it naturally forms an important highway and railroad junction; thus, it is easily accessible using both individual and public means of transport. Plzen lies 85 km (53 mi) south-westwards from the Czech capital Prague, 222 km (138 mi) from the Bavarian capital Munich, 148 km (92 mi) from the Saxon capital Dresden, and 174 km (108 mi) from the Upper Austrian capital Linz. The closest international airport is the Vaclav Havel Airport Prague, which is 75 km (47 mi) away and one can get from there to Plzen very easily within about two hours by Prague public transport and a train/bus. |

The 2023 IEEE Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop (ASRU 2023) will be held on December 16 – 20, 2023, at Taipei, Taiwan. The workshop is held every two years and has a tradition of bringing together researchers from academia and industry in an intimate and collegial setting to discuss problems of common interest in automatic speech recognition and understanding. The conference will be an 'in-person' event (with a virtual component for those that can not attend physically). The event will be held in the Beitou Area, the town of hot springs of Taipei. We encourage all to join us for this wonderful event in Taiwan; looking forward to seeing you all in Taiwan. The paper submission deadline is July 3rd, 2023.
