The Seventh ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop (ITRW) on Speech
Synthesis will take place at ATR, Kyoto, Japan, September 22-24, 2010.
It is co-sponsored by the International Speech Communication
Association (ISCA), the ISCA Special Interest Group on Speech
Synthesis (SynSIG), the National Institute of Information and
Communications Technology (NICT), and the Effective Multilingual
Interaction in Mobile Environments (EMIME) project.  The workshop will

workshops, Autrans 1990, Mohonk 1994, Jenolan Caves 1998, Pitlochry
2001, Pittsburgh 2004, Bonn 2007, which aim to promote research and
development of all aspects of speech synthesis.

Workshop topics Papers in all areas of speech synthesis technology are
encouraged to be submitted, with emphasis placed on:

* Spontaneous/expressive speech synthesis
* Speech synthesis in dialog systems
* Voice conversion/speaker adaptation
* Multilingual/crosslingual speech synthesis
* Automated methods for speech synthesis
* TTS for embedded devices
* Talking heads with animated conversational agents
* Applications of synthesis technologies to communication disorders
* Evaluation methods

Submissions for the technical program:

The workshop program will consist of invited lectures, oral and poster
presentations, and panel discussions.  Prospective authors are invited
to submit full-length, 4-6 page papers, including figures and
references.  All papers will be handled and reviewed electronically.
The SSW7 website http://www.ssw7.org/ will provide you with further
details.

Important dates:

* May 7, 2010: Paper submission deadline
* June 30, 2010: Acceptance/rejection notice

     INTERSPEECH2010 Call for Papers

     Makuhari,Japan / September 26-30, 2010

      http://www.interspeech2010.org

    ========================================

Dear Colleague,

INTERSPEECH is the world's largest and most comprehensive conference on

issues surrounding the science and technology of  spoken language

processing(SLP) both in humans and in machines. It is our great pleasure to

host INTERSPEECH 2010 in  Japan, the birthplace of ICSLP, which has held two

ICSLPs, in Kobe and Yokohama, in the past.

The theme of INTERSPEECH 2010 is 'Spoken Language Processing for All Ages,

Health Conditions, Native Languages and  Environments'. INTERSPEECH 2010

emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach covering all aspects of speech

science and  technology spanning the basic theories to applications. Besides

regular oral and poster sessions, plenary talks by  internationally renowned

experts, tutorials, exhibits, and special sessions are planned.

      'INTERSPEECH conferences are indexed in ISI'

We invite you to submit original papers in any related area, including but

not limited to:
