We are happy to inform you that Winter School on Speech and Audio Processing (WISSAP-2015) is being organized by Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), Gandhinagar during January 04-07, 2015 as a part of ISCA SIG-ILSP (SIG on Indian Language Speech Processing) activities.

The topic of this year WiSSAP is ‘Production-Perception Based New Models of Speech Analysis,’ the latest topic of research involving both speech production and perception. With the advent of new modalities of acquiring speech production/perception data, it is now possible to answer, in a principled way, the insights about these links and develop new engineering models for speech analysis and processing. WiSSAP 2015 would highlight latest data acquisition, multi-modal analysis, representation and potential of these new approaches to speech modeling. We expect researchers from IISc/IITs/NITs/DA-IICT/IIITs and other institutions in the country, industry researchers working in speech/audio area and research scholars to participate at the winter school.  .

As in the past, WiSSAP 2015 will have three international experts to present recent developments in their respective research topics.  The experts chosen are:  Prof. Shrikanth S. Narayanan of University of Southern California, USA, Prof. Shihab Shamma of University of Maryland, USA) and Prof. Hynek Hermansky (Johns Hopkins University, USA). Three invited experts from India will conduct tutorials on the first day to expose the participants to advanced research. I am also attaching the poster for call for participation.

3-1-2(2015-09-06) Call for Satellite Workshops of INTERSPEECH 2015, Dresden, Germany
**** Call for Satellite Workshops **** 
INTERSPEECH 2015 will be held in the beautiful city of Dresden, Germany, on September 6-10, 2015
The theme is 'Speech beyond Speech - Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important 
Biosignal'. The Organizing Committee of INTERSPEECH 2015 is now inviting proposals for 
satellite workshops, which will 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 Central 
Europe, and around the same time as INTERSPEECH. We are particularly looking forward to 
proposals from neighboring countries. If you are interested in organizing a satellite workshop, 
or would like a planned event to be listed as an official satellite event, please contact the organizers
 or the Satellite Workshop Chair at fmetze@cs.cmu.edu The Satellite Workshop coordinator along 
with the INTERSPEECH team will help to connect (potential) workshop organizers with local 
contacts in Germany, if needed, and will try to be helpful with logistics such as payment, publicity,
 and coordination with ISCA or other events. Proposals should include:
 * workshop name and acronym 
* organizers' name and contact info 
* website (if already known) 
* date and proposed location of the workshop 
* estimated number of participants 
* a short description of the motivation for the workshop 
* an outline of the program and invited speakers 
* a description of the submission process (e.g. deadlines, target acceptance rate) 
* a list of the scientific committee members 
 
Proposals for satellite workshops should be submitted by email to workshops@interspeech2015.org
 by August 31st, 2014 We strongly recommend that organizers also apply for
 ISCA approval/ sponsorship, which will greatly facilitate acceptance as an INTERSPEECH satellite 
event. We plan to notify proposers no later than October 30, 2014. If you have any questions about 
whether a potential event would be a good candidate for an INTERSPEECH 2015 satellite workshop 
feel free to contact the INTERSPEECH 2015 Satellite Workshops Chair. 
 
Sincerely, 
Florian Metze 
Satellite Workshops Chair fmetze@cs.cmu.edu

3-1-3(2015-09-06) Calls for INTERSPEECH 2015, Dresden, Germany

Calls for INTERSPEECH 2015

 

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 applications.

 

INTERSPEECH 2015 will be organized around the theme Speech beyond Speech: Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important Biosignal, which acknowledges the fact that speech is the most important biosignal humans can produce and perceive. It is evident that not all characteristics of speech are already fully understood. We therefore encourage contributions that analyze and model speech as a biosignal in a broad understanding, e.g. for extracting information about the speaker, for identifying processes leading to speech production, or for generating speech signals with specific bio-characteristics. Contributions to all other areas of speech science and technology are also welcome.

SPECIAL TOPIC

Speech Beyond Speech: Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important Biosignal

 

MOTIVATION

Speech is the most important biosignal humans can produce and perceive. It is the most common means of human-human communication, and therefore research and development in speech and language are not only paramount for understanding humans, but also to facilitate human-machine interaction. Still, not all characteristics of speech are fully understood, and even fewer are used for developing successful speech and language processing applications. Speech can exploit its full potential only if we consider the characteristics which are beyond the traditional (and still important) linguistic content. These characteristics include other biosignals that are directly accessible to human perception, such as muscle and brain activity, as well as articulatory gestures.

 

INTERSPEECH 2015

will therefore be organized around the topic “Speech beyond Speech: Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important Biosignal”. Our conviction is that spoken language processing can make a substantial leap if it caters for the full information which is available in the speech signal. By opening our prestigious conference to researchers in other biosignal communities, we expect that substantial advances can be made discussing ideas and approaches across discipline and community boundaries.
