4-2Cambridge's Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence MPhil

Cambridge's Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence MPhil

 

Are you interested in speech and language processing, computer vision & robotics, human-computer interaction, or machine learning? Please consider applying to the University of Cambridge?s Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence (MLMI) MPhil programme. 

 

The MLMI MPhil is an elite 11 month programme with a small cohort of about 30 students each year. Due to its small size there is the opportunity to carry out PhD-like research projects on the course (see here for previous students? dissertations), as well having a number of bespoke taught modules with lots of opportunities to interact with the faculty and other members of the course (see here for a list of modules and here for a list of the teaching staff).

 

Previous members of the MPhil have gone on to study for PhDs in top research groups (e.g. at Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, and MIT), and have gone into top industry positions (e.g. Microsoft Research, Facebook AI Research, Open AI, and AstraZeneca).

 

This year our programme is restructuring around four overlapping tracks: speech and language processing, computer vision & robotics, human-computer interaction, and machine learning. You apply to one of these tracks and this choice shapes your module options and the research project that you will take on. We are especially interested in candidates who are interested in speech and language processing, computer vision & robotics, and human-computer interaction as we have significant capacity to expand in these areas this year.

 

Details about the application process can be found on our website. The application deadline is 2nd December 2021.

4-3Serveur Discord pour jeunes chercheurs.
Nous souhaitons vous faire part aujourd'hui de la création d'un serveur Discord pour les jeunes chercheurs en parole: https://discord.gg/kSgaZp7yg9

Cet espace de discussion a pour but de rassembler la communauté des jeunes chercheurs en parole en France (étudiants en master, doctorants, post-doctorants...).
Vous pourrez notamment y partager vos derniers papiers publiés, vos questions ou appels à l'aide pour l'utilisation d'un logiciel (ou autre), ou simplement rentrer en contact avec des personnes qui travaillent dans votre domaine ou des domaines liés au votre. Rien n'est fixe, le serveur est voué à évoluer au cours de son utilisation! Il peut aussi nous servir à nous retrouver lors d'une conférence ou autre. En tant que jeunes chercheurs avec un petit réseau, on connaît tous ce sentiment peu confortable d'être seul(e) à une conférence, malgré les 1500 personnes autour de nous. Alors plutôt que de stresser chacun dans notre coin, autant nous retrouver et partager tout ça ensemble en nous donnant rendez-vous grâce au serveur de discussion!

La création de ce serveur Discord fait suite à l'appel du comité d'organisation des JEP pour l'organisation d'un événement à destination des jeunes chercheurs en parole lors des Journées d'Etudes en Parole qui auront lieu à Noirmoutier du 13 au 17 juin 2022 (https://jep2022.univ-nantes.fr/). Nous l'avons d'abord créé pour discuter entre jeunes chercheurs sur ce que l'on pourrait imaginer comme événement, puis nous avons pensé qu'il serait intéressant de l'ouvrir à tous pour recueillir vos besoins/envies et voir ce qui pourrait intéresser un maximum de personnes. Il est donc également destiné à essayer de mieux cerner les besoins de formation de chacun. Rassurez-vous, il est partagé en deux: une catégorie pour tous, et une catégorie pour celles et ceux intéressés par l'organisation de journées d'études, ainsi, pas de spam inutile. Si vous souhaitez rejoindre cette deuxième catégorie, il faudra me le notifier dans le canal #général ou me le demander par message privé*.

Rendez-vous sur le serveur pour faire vivre notre communauté de jeunes chercheurs!
 
Merci aux organisateurs des JEP et à l'AFCP pour leur soutien.

4-5The new ISLRN Web Portal is now open (ELRA)

Press Release – Immediate

Paris, France, March 23, 2022

The new ISLRN Web Portal is now open.

ELRA is happy to release a new version of ISLRN (International Standard Language Resource Number) web portal.

In order to improve the performance of the portal, with an up-to-date technical infrastructure, ISLRN was ported into latest versions of Django and Python frameworks. Consequently, the website design was also adapted to make the navigation and the functionalities clearer and faster for users.

Some of the main design changes currently are:

-          The main page now offers an extensive description of ISLRN and a single click button to request for an ISLRN number. Subpages can now be viewed from the top menu at all levels of the portal;

-          The search tool that allows for looking for resources “by ISLRN” or “by resource name” has been combined into one single search box with predictive typing function and is also accessible at all levels of the portal;

-          Expressive icons allow users to locate the functionalities in a more intuitive way;

-          Language Resources description pages are better structured and the ISLRN ID of the resource may be copied directly from the Language Resource description page;

-          Functionalities of management pages (both for users and administrators), such as profile pages or user internal submission pages are improved.

 

About ISLRN

The ISLRN (International Standard Language Resource Number) is a unique persistent identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The establishment of ISLRNs was a major step in the networked and shared world of Human Language Technologies. Unique resources must be identified as they are, and meta-catalogues require a common identification format to manage data correctly. Therefore, Language Resources should carry identical identification schemes regardless their representations, their types and their storage place (hard drives, internet or intranet).

To find out more about ISLRN, please visit the website: http://islrn.org/

4-9CHiME Challenge Call for Proposals
CHiME Challenge Call for Proposals

http://www.chimechallenge.org/current/cfp 

CHiME is a challenge series whose purpose is to produce scientific advances in the field of distant microphone speech processing. The challenge’s six previous iterations from 2011 until 2020 have resulted in major improvements in word error rate and diarisation error rate for single-speaker voice commands in various environments and for multi-speaker conversations in homes. These six previous iterations have been centrally organised.

We now wish to introduce a more open model, where the annual CHiME Challenge features independent tasks organised by teams who work within a schedule defined by the CHiME Steering Group. Teams will be responsible for managing the tasks, i.e., providing data and instructions, scoring submissions and results, etc. The CHiME Steering Group will then work to support teams in the development of their task. The Steering Group will also organise a CHiME workshop where the tasks will be presented.

The CHiME Steering Group is now inviting task proposals for the CHiME 2023 Challenge. Proposed tasks will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
  • relevance to the CHiME goals
  • methodology - ie. likelihood to lead to robust and novel scientific findings
  • accessibility - i.e. how easy is it for teams to engage with
  • feasibility - likelihood to complete on schedule, risk management
  • reproducibility - e.g. openness of data, baseline
  • diversity - amongst organisers and expected participants, e.g. academia vs industry, geography, gender etc.
We wish to foster a collaborative proposal process that minimises overlap between proposals. To this end, if you are considering proposing a task, please sign up to the CHiME mailing list and feel free to discuss your plans. Or if you wish information to be shared more privately, i.e., amongst other bidders only, then you may share details or initial plans with the CHiME Steering Group who will then share with others whose plans may overlap.

Proposal
Task bidders should submit a task proposal for review by the Steering Group. The proposal should be a maximum of two pages (pdf format preferred) including the following information:
  • Task name
  • Coordinators
  • Keywords (e.g. enhancement, diarization, speaker recognition, etc)
  • Definition (one sentence)
  • Short description (incl. research question the task is tackling)
  • Dataset description: development, evaluation (short description, how much data is already available and prepared, how long would it take to prepare the rest, mention if you allow external data/transfer learning or not)
  • Evaluation method / metric
  • Baseline system (brief description, planned method if you do not have one from a previous challenge)
  • List of expected participants
  • Contact person (for main communication, website)
Submission
The proposal should be sent to the CHiME Steering Group (chimech...@gmail.com) by 26th September. The Steering Group will review the proposals and provide feedback by 10th October. In case task amendments are requested, the task acceptance decision will be finalized by 4th November.

4-10NLP4NLP Corpus 5 Years After

Following a survey of the Interspeech conference presented for the 25th anniversary of
ESCA/ISCA at Interspeech 2013, the NLP4NLP corpus was gathered for conducting an analysis
of the main conferences and journals in the field of speech and language processing over
50 years (1965-2015). The results of this analysis was published in 2019 as a series of
two papers in a special issue on 'Mining Scientific Papers: NLP-enhanced Bibliometrics'
of the 'Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics' journal, which attracted a large
audience:

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frma.2018.00036/full

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frma.2018.00037/full

This corpus has now been extended over the recent past 5 years (2016–2020), which show a
strong activity in that field: as many articles have been published in the single year
2020 than over the first 25 years of NLP4NLP for example. This new analysis concludes in
identifying profound changes in research topics as well as in the emergence of a new
generation of authors and the appearance of new publications around artificial
intelligence, neural networks, machine learning, and word embedding. These results have
just been published in a second special issue on 'Knowledge Discovery and Data
Exploitation' of the 'Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics' journal:

4-11About JSALT
About JSALT
 

Each summer, CLSP organizes and hosts a few international teams for an intensive 6-week research workshop on speech and language engineering. These very successful workshops have had a widespread impact on the Human Language Technology community. Recently, we are beginning to experiment with broadening their reach to adjacent research communities.

Each workshop team spends 6 weeks together at CLSP (after some advance preparation), working in close proximity on some challenging problem or a promising solution technique that has not yet been well studied. Many teams have had a lasting influence on subsequent research and practice through the publications, software, and data that they produce. For many workshop participants, the biggest benefit is the interaction with other researchers, seeding new and lasting collaborations.

The workshops also contribute to the pool of trained specialists in the fields of speech and natural language processing by providing immersive training to undergraduate and graduate students, allowing researchers from different backgrounds to learn from one another, and educating all workshop participants through guest lectures, participant seminars, and team research updates.

This year, the ESPERANTO team contributes to the development of speech-to-speech translation systems with a special focus on enabling 
the adaptation of such models for under-resourced languages.

4-12Cf special sessions @ICASSP 2023

 

 

 

 

Call for Special Sessions at ICASSP 2023! 
The organizing committee of ICASSP 2023 invites proposals for Special Sessions on emerging topics in signal processing. Please find the submission link and the proposal template on the ICASSP website.

Proposal Submission

Each session proposal should include an Abstract (limited to 2,000 characters) along with a Background-and-Justification paragraph (limited to 3,000 characters), in which the session organizers elaborate on i) the motivation behind the special session, and ii) the collective quality and potential impact of the committed papers in the proposed session. Each proposal should also include a title, list of authors, and Abstracts of the committed papers. It will be appreciated for the six (6) committed papers per proposed session to reflect geographic diversity to the maximum extent possible. All papers of proposed special sessions will be rigorously reviewed, and every effort will be made for the accepted ones to be presented in oral sessions.

No author can appear as co-author in more than one paper of a single special session.

ICASSP 2023 will be the first post-pandemic edition of the IEEE-SPS flagship conference, and the special sessions are expected to foster the return to an in-person experience. Accordingly, there must be an author of each accepted paper presenting it in-person.

Proposal Selection


Special session proposals will be evaluated based on i) the proposed topic; ii) the expected impact and quality of the contributed papers; and, iii) the session organizer(s) and contributing authors. A special session should preferably address an emerging topic in signal processing that is not fully aligned with a specific Technical Committee of the Signal Processing Society.

Selection of a special session proposal does not guarantee final acceptance of the special session. Papers submitted to special sessions will undergo rigorous review similar to that for regular submissions. The acceptance of a special session to the ICASSP technical program hinges upon the quality of the papers submitted to the special session.

Important Dates
  • Special Session Proposal Deadline: 18 August 2022
  • Special Session Acceptance Notification: 12 September 2022
  • Special Session Paper Submission Deadline: 19 October 2022
     

ICASSP 2022 is a flagship event of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, a global network of signal processing and data science professionals. A membership to IEEE SPS connects you with more than 18,000 researchers, academics, industry practitioners, and students advancing and disseminating the latest breakthroughs and technology.

4-14Speech Enhancement for Augmented Reality ( SPEAR) Challenge

SPeech Enhancement for Augmented Reality
(SPEAR) Challenge
Augmented reality devices of the future will likely fuse sensor data from several modalities, allowing multichannel speech enhancement algorithms to exploit, for example, head orientation and accurately estimated source directions. Augmented hearing therefore offers the potential for easier communication in noisy environments, such as restaurants and bars.
 
The SPEAR challenge offers the opportunity for researchers to benchmark existing speech enhancement algorithms and try out new ideas in the context of head-worn microphone arrays where positional information is available to the algorithm. Using recorded and simulated data, participants will obtain their best estimate of a binaural target signal from a given microphone array where real time information of the wearer head rotation and of the target direction of arrival is available. Enhanced signals will be evaluated through metric calculation and crowdsourced listening tests. To help get started a baseline algorithm is provided.
 
The challenge is being run by the Speech and Audio Processing lab at Imperial College London in partnership with Reality Labs Research (Meta).

More information can be found on the website along with all the freely available data and tools.

We encourage people to register for the latest information and to follow the SPEAR challenge on Twitter.

Important Dates

  • September 2022:
    • Start of the challenge.
    • Release of Train and Dev datasets.
    • Release of baseline and tools.
  • 4 January 2023:
    • Evaluation data released.

4-15Jeunes chercheurs en parole sur serveur DISCORD
Bonjour à tous les jeunes chercheurs,
 
L’année 2022 aura marqué le début du groupe des jeunes chercheurs en parole https://jcparole.github.io/. De notre volonté de nous réunir, d’apprendre à nous connaître et de partager sont nés un serveur de discussion Discord (voir lien ci-dessous), une newsletter, et des rendez-vous en ligne mensuels avec pour ligne conductrice la vulgarisation. Un grand merci à tous ceux qui nous ont déjà rejoint ou qui nous lisent régulièrement ! Notre dynamisme nous aura conduits récemment à nous rattacher à l’Association Francophone de Communication Parlée, que nous remercions encore une fois pour leur confiance. Charge à nous maintenant de faire vivre notre jeune communauté !
 
Nous lançons aujourd'hui un appel à ceux d’entre vous qui souhaiteraient nous rejoindre et nous aider à maintenir le groupe. Plusieurs rôles sont à pourvoir : développer/maintenir le discord, améliorer/maintenir notre site internet, participer à l’élaboration de la newsletter, chercher des intervenants pour nos sessions « présente tes recherches », faire connaître notre groupe et ses actions… L’engagement n’est pas trop lourd : une réunion une fois par mois, et une participation aux tâches en fonction du temps disponible. Le bénévolat est un travail annexe, qui ne doit pas prendre le dessus sur les travaux de recherche: Chacun de ces rôles est pré-définit et les coordinateurs du groupe sont là pour vous guider. Vous pouvez donc prendre le train en marche et choisir de continuer avec les formats proposés ou proposer de nouvelles idées. N'hésitez pas à venir vers nous pour en savoir plus! :)
 
Nous avons également décidé de reprendre les Rencontres de Jeunes Chercheurs en Parole (RJCP) qui se sont arrêtées en 2011. Ces journées seront l’occasion de nous rencontrer, de présenter nos travaux et d’échanger sur les divers domaines de la Parole. Nous mettons tout en œuvre pour organiser une rencontre à Grenoble, en novembre 2023. Si vous souhaitez rejoindre le comité d’organisation local, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter ! Note aux masterants, doctorants et post-doctorants : l’organisation d’événements scientifiques est un point valorisable pour la suite de votre carrière académique. Elle peut également mener à la validation d’heures de formation obligatoires dans le cadre de la thèse.
 
Enfin, si vous ne souhaitez/pouvez pas vous impliquer dans un milieu associatif ou un comité d’organisation, vous êtes tout de même invités à nous rejoindre sur le serveur Discord: https://discord.gg/c3b96JksTS. Celui-ci est ouvert à tous les jeunes chercheurs en parole francophones (donc hors France compris)! Nous nous en servons pour partager les actions du groupe, mais il a également été pensé comme un espace où poser librement ses questions, demander de l’aide ou partager des infos. On espère vous y voir toujours plus nombreux.
 
A très bientôt,
 
Le groupe des Jeunes Chercheurs en Parole
