7-7 EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing - Special Issue on Multilingual Spoken Document Organization, Understanding and Retrieval
  
Special Issue on Multilingual Spoken Document Organization, Understanding and Retrieval

Call for Papers
Recently, the increasing popularity of digital technologies points towards an increasing number of multimedia data. Spoken documents in education, business and entertainment are rapidly growing, for example: lectures, history archives, news and movies. As an informative signal, speech contains not only the implication of its language content, but also acoustic, prosodic and linguistic information. Efficient management of spoken documents, including organization, understanding and retrieval, is an important issue.
We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts to manage spoken documents and the development of strategies to organize and understand spoken documents. We are particularly interested in articles describing the new methods for multilingual speech analysis; advances in spoken document retrieval; new insights into speech summarization using acoustic and linguistic information; current concepts in the treatment of spoken document organization using prosody, recognition confidence, syntactic and semantic grammar strategies. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
* Recent developments in spoken document organization and understanding
* Role of multilingual speech recognition in spoken document analysis
* Latest technologies for spoken document summarization and measuring outcomes
* Recent advances in spoken document retrieval
* Spoken document understanding using statistical learning methods
* Role of prosody, acoustic, and linguistic information in spoken document summarization and retrieval
* Advances in voice search, music retrieval, speaker search and indexing
