Dear colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to announce the forthcoming edition of INTERSPEECH, the annual conference of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), which will be held in Lyon, France, 25-29 August 2013.
INTERSPEECH is the world's largest and most comprehensive conference on Spoken Language Processing science and technology. This edition will be the 14th in the annual series of Interspeech events and will coincide with the 25th anniversary of ISCA, formerly known as ESCA, which was born in France in 1988.
INTERSPEECH 2013 is coordinated by AFCP (Association Francophone de la Communication Parlée, i.e. the “French-speaking” Special Interest Group of ISCA). The conference will be hosted in the Lyon Convention Center, which offers first-grade facilities in a very attractive city and region, at the heart of Europe.
Speech is a fundamental human activity which runs across biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, anthropology or ecology. It is central to the organization and the development of human health, personality and intelligence. It is also essential to the synergy within human groups and their relationship with their environment.
Besides the conventional acoustic and linguistic viewpoints on speech communication, all these related disciplines provide additional approaches to speech as the keystone of communication, cognition and interaction in human societies.
The conference will thus promote an interdisciplinary approach covering all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from fundamental contributions to practical applications, in a wide variety of areas.
INTERSPEECH 2013 will consist of regular oral and poster sessions, plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, tutorials, exhibits, special sessions, show & tells and satellite events. INTERSPEECH papers are indexed in ISI, Engineering Index, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Our website will provide you with information and news including the various calls, the important dates, instructions, programs, and all useful arrangements for participating to the conference.
The INTERSPEECH 2013 Organizing Committee is actively engaged in the preparation of the event and it will be a great honor and pleasure for the French community in Speech Sciences to welcome you to INTERSPEECH 2013 in Lyon, next summer.

14th Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue
http://www.sigdial.org/workshops/conference14/ Metz, France 23-24 August 2013
CALL FOR PAPERS
The SIGDIAL venue provides a regular forum for the presentation of cutting edge
research in discourse and dialog to both academic and industry researchers.
Continuing with a series of thirteen successful previous meetings, this conference
spans the research interest areas of discourse and dialogue. The conference is sponsored
by the SIGDIAL organization, which serves as the Special Interest Group on discourse
and dialog for both ACL and ISCA. Topics of Interest We welcome formal, corpus-based,
implementation or analytical work on discourse and dialog including but not restricted
to the following themes and topics:
- Discourse Processing and Dialog Systems
- Corpora, Tools and Methodology
- Pragmatic and/or Semantic Modeling
- Dimensions of Interaction
- Applications of Dialog and Discourse Processing Technology
For a detailed list, see the complete list of topics of interest on the SIGDIAL 2013 website.
Special Theme: Discourse and Dialogue in Social Media Processing language in social
media has attracted a noticeable amount of interest in recent years.
Language in this new kind of media offers many opportunities and challenges,
from the point of view of discourse and dialogue. To start with, an astounding
amount of conversational data is created each day on Twitter and Facebook,
but also on many blogs. Additionally, social media provides a window into a variety
of human behaviors that rarely appear in the controlled data sets our community is
accustomed to work with. We invite submissions on all aspects of discourse and
dialogue processing of language as used in a variety of social media platforms,
from Twitter and Facebook, to any type of blogs, micro-blogs, collaborative wikis,
and multimedia sharing sites. We particularly welcome contributions that highlight
new insights into discourse and dialogue phenomena in this new genre, or describe
new discourse and dialogue processing models emerging from it.

| 3-2-2 | (2013-09-02)CfP Fourth International Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems, Vienna, Austria
Call for Papers --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fourth International Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems PQS 2013 2-4 September 2013 Vienna, Austria ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fourth international workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems aims to bring together leading professionals and scientists from different fields that are all related to perceptual quality. Supported by ISCA and the European COST action Qualinet, this event will serve as a forum facilitating an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas between both academic and industrial researchers working on different aspects of perceptual quality of systems. Inaugurated in Herne/Mont Cenis (2003) and continued in Berlin (2006) and Bautzen (2010), PQS 2013 will be held in Vienna, Austria.
User perceived quality of technical systems is grounded on human experience and therefore a highly complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Thus, any approach to quality assessment and prediction has to take the relevant human perception and judgment factors into account, an issue that has been addressed by a number of scientific disciplines including psychophysics, cognitive psychology, speech and audiovisual quality assessment, human computer interaction (HCI), usability and user experience research, and Quality of Experience (QoE).
Authors are invited to submit extended paper abstracts (1.5-2 pages) according to the guidelines that will be available on the workshop web site. Contributions typically refer to methodological aspects of quality and usability assessment and evaluation, the underlying perception and judgment processes, as well as to user perceived quality of particular technologies, systems or services. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Methodologies and Methods of Quality Assessment and Evaluation * Metrology: Test Design and Scaling * Quality of Speech, Audio and Music * Quality of Images and Video * Quality of Haptics * Quality of Multimodal and Multi-sensory Perception * Perceptual Quality vs. Quality of Experience vs. User Experience vs. Usability * Semio-Acoustics and -Perception * Quality Engineering Processes * Quality and Usability of - Speech Technology Devices - Interactive Telecommunication Systems and Services - Multi-Modal User Interfaces - Haptic and Olfactory Interfaces - Audiovisual, 3D and Virtual Reality Systems
Important Dates: - Submission (Extended Abstracts): March 31, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2013 - Camera-ready submission: June 15, 2013

| 3-3-6 | (2013-04-03) CORIA 2013Neuchatel Suisse CORIA 2013, Neuchâtel (Suisse), du 3 au 5 Avril 2013 CORIA 2013 (http://coria.unine.ch) est la dixième édition de la COnférence en Recherche d'Information et Applications. Organisée avec le support de l'ARIA (Association francophone de Recherche d'Information et Applications, http://www.asso-aria.org), elle est la principale manifestation francophone dans ce domaine. CORIA a pour but de rassembler les équipes et les chercheurs menant des travaux scientifiques dans le domaine de la recherche d'informations : recherche d'information sur le web, extraction d'information au sein de documents multimédia, analyse d'opinion ou de réseaux sociaux, contextes monolingue ou multilingue, recherche de documents numériques et d'images, apprentissage et classification automatiques, interfaces homme-machine pour l'accès à l'information, etc. CORIA se veut largement ouverte à l'ensemble de la communauté scientifique concernée par la Recherche d'Information. Après s'être tenue à Toulouse, Grenoble, Lyon, Saint-Étienne, Lannion, Toulon, Sousse (Tunisie, en partenariat avec CIFED), Avignon, Bordeaux (en partenariat avec CIFED), CORIA aura lieu cette année du 3 avril au 5 avril 2013 à Neuchâtel (Suisse). L'activité scientifique en recherche d'information connaît une évolution forte depuis la généralisation du web et, plus récemment, le développement de l'informatique nomade. Les limites du domaine sont elles-mêmes en mutation et favorisent les synergies avec les travaux en apprentissage automatique, traitement automatique des langues, traitement de l'image, traitement de la parole, communication écrite et documents, systèmes d'information et bases de données, représentation et gestion des connaissances... Les domaines d'application sont vastes et peuvent être appliqués au web dans sa globalité ou restreints par exemple à des bibliothèques numériques ou des réseaux sociaux. Le public visé par CORIA 2013 est celui des universitaires et chercheurs - confirmés ou non -, des industriels et des spécialistes du domaine et des étudiants en Master se dirigeant vers les métiers de la Recherche. Les soumissions peuvent être faites en anglais ou en français. Les contributions peuvent concerner des travaux académiques ou des applications industrielles. Le programme prévoit deux conférences invitées, l'une de Jamie Callan (CMU), la seconde de Donna Harman (NIST). Ces deux conférenciers feront par ailleurs un cours dédiés aux doctorants lors d'un séminaire du CUSO, le mardi 2 avril 2013 (le jour précédant la conférence). Pendant la conférence CORIA 2013 seront également organisées les 8e Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs en Recherche d'Information (RJCRI). Elles ont pour objectif de permettre à tous les doctorants de présenter leur problématique de recherche, d'établir des contacts avec des équipes travaillant sur des domaines similaires ou connexes, et d'offrir à l'ensemble de la communauté un aperçu des axes de recherche actuels.

| 3-3-8 | (2013-05-30) Appel aux 16èmes Rencontres Jeunes ChercheursAppel aux 16èmes Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (30-31 mai): modèles et modélisation dans les sciences du langage | date limite: 13 janv. 2013 Créées en 1998, les Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs de l'École Doctorale « Langage et langues» (ED 268, Université Sorbonne nouvelle) offrent la possibilité aux jeunes chercheurs inscrits en Doctorat ou en Master Recherche de présenter leurs travaux sous forme de communication orale ou de poster. Modèles et modélisation dans les sciences du langage Comment appréhender la diversité du réel sans chercher à la structurer et à formuler des règles supposées expliquer ou du moins décrire son fonctionnement ? Comment comprendre un phénomène sans d’abord en concevoir des fonctionnements possibles ? Même si le recours à une réalité idéale ne suffit pas toujours à la compréhension d’un phénomène langagier, d’un fonctionnement psychologique ou encore d’une stratégie cognitive, la construction et l’exploitation de modèles semblent parfois indispensables. Tout comme apparaît nécessaire la remise en cause et la révision de ces représentations, afin d’appréhender des réalités plus nuancées. La multiplicité des approches adoptées par les différentes disciplines engage à interroger non seulement la notion de modèle, mais aussi la modélisation des données langagières, que ce soit à des fins descriptives, explicatives ou prédictives. On peut donc s’intéresser aux différentes définitions du modèle, et se pencher sur leur mise en pratique, leur potentiel transdisciplinaire et leurs éventuelles transformations. On peut aussi s’interroger sur la pertinence et les limites de ces modèles, voire de la notion même de modèle. Selon les approches des chercheurs et chercheuses, le modèle peut ainsi être perçu comme une nécessité ou comme un obstacle, comme un indice de rigueur ou comme un biais scientifique. S’agit-il d’un carcan théorique auquel les données empiriques doivent s’ajuster ? Ou s’agit-il d’une construction sans laquelle la dynamique et le fonctionnement d’une réalité seraient impossible à appréhender ? Les RJC 2013 invitent les participants à réfléchir sur la conception, l’utilisation, l’adaptation et la remise en cause de modèles en sciences du langage. Nous retiendrons en particulier les communications appartenant aux disciplines suivantes : acquisition du langage et des langues, analyse du discours, anthropologie linguistique, didactique des langues et des cultures, histoire des idées linguistiques, linguistique générale, linguistique historique et comparée, morphologie, neurolinguistique, phonétique, phonologie, pragmatique, psycholinguistique, rhétorique, sémantique, sociolinguistique, syntaxe, TAL, traduction et traductologie, typologie linguistique. Le colloque est ouvert à tous : masterants, doctorants, chercheurs...

NTCIR-10 IR for Spoken Documents Task (SpokenDoc-2)
http://www.cl.ics.tut.ac.jp/~sdpwg/index.php?ntcir10
== INTRODUCTION
The growth of the internet and the decrease of the storage costs are
resulting in the rapid increase of multimedia contents today. For
retrieving these contents, available text-based tag information is
limited. Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) is a promising technology for
retrieving these contents using the speech data included in them.
Following the NTCIR-9 SpokenDoc task, we will continue to evaluate the
SDR based on a realistic ASR condition, where the target documents are
spontaneous speech data with high word error rate and high
out-of-vocabulary rate.
== TASK OVERVIEW
The new speech data, the recordings of the first to sixth annual
Spoken Document Processing Workshop, are going to be used as the
target document in SpokenDoc-2. The larger speech data, spoken
lectures in Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese (CSJ), are also used as in
the last SpokenDoc-1. The task organizers are going to provide
reference automatic transcriptions for these speech data. These
enabled researchers interested in SDR, but without access to their own
ASR system to participate in the tasks. They also enabled comparisons
of the IR methods based on the same underlying ASR performance.
Targeting these documents, two subtasks will be conducted.
Spoken Term Detection:
Within spoken documents, find the occurrence positions of a queried
term. The evaluation should be conducted by both the efficiency
(search time) and the effectiveness (precision and recall).
Spoken Content Retrieval:
Among spoken documents, find the segments including the relevant
information related to the query, where a segment is either a
document (resulting in document retrieval task) or a passage
(passage retrieval task). This is like an ad-hoc text retrieval
task, except that the target documents are speech data.

Speakers show phonetic differences while producing the very same utterance. These speaker-specific differences occur at various linguistic levels and they can be realized phonetically by many parameters such as voice quality, speech rate, loudness, fundamental frequency, breathing, articulatory behavior, etc. At the same time, listeners can vary in the way they exploit such cues for the purpose of speech perception and understanding. Speaker-specific behavior has long been regarded irrelevant for linguistic theories and is generally treated as noise in the data. Methodologically, speaker-specific variation has often been ignored in the statistical modelling of speech production and perception data. However, there are numerous recent studies showing that speaker-specific variation allows for new insights into learning processes, speech planning and speech motor control strategies, processing of linguistic and paralinguistic information, among others. We seek to link findings from different disciplines by asking the following questions:
The invited international scholars have been chosen to address these issues. This summer school is mainly intended for graduate students, post-docs or researchers who work in the field of speech production, perception and perception-production interaction. We expect about 50 participants. One of the aims of the summer school is to provide a forum for exchanges between students, junior and senior researchers and encourage all participants to contribute to the dialog. Please send a letter of motivation and an abstract (no longer than 1 page) of your prospective contribution till to the 15th of May 2013. http://summerschool13.sciencesconf.org/ Confirmed invited speakers:
