Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am pleased to inform you that the special session on Multilingual and low-resourced languages speech processing in human-computer interaction (http://specom.nw.ru/hci2017.html), has been accepted at the upcoming SPECOM2017 (http://specom.nw.ru/). We kindly invite you to submit your contribution related to the special session scope and topics. Please, note that the paper submission deadline is March 12, 2017. International
Conference on Speech and Computer (SPECOM)
2017 September 12-16,
2017 in Hatfield, United Kingdom (http://specom.nw.ru/) Call
for Papers Special
Session on: Multilingual and
low-resourced languages speech processing in
human-computer interaction Authors are invited to submit
papers for a special session on ‘Multilingual and
low-resourced languages speech processing
in human-computer interaction’ in the International
Conference on Speech and Computer (SPECOM) that
will attract researchers in the field of speech
and computer processing. Multilingual speech
processing has been an active topic for many
years. Over the last few years, the availability
of big data in a vast variety of languages and
the convergence of speech recognition and
synthesis approaches to statistical parametric
techniques (mainly deep learning neural
networks) have put this field in the center of
research interest, with a special attention for
low- or even zero-resourced languages. The
special session will provide a forum for
focussed discussion on innovative applications
of established speech processing approaches in
multilingual and low-resourced languages or
novel research paradigms. Topics of interest for this Special
Session include but are not limited to the
following: · Multilingual speech
recognition and understanding · Cross-lingual
adaptation · Text-to-speech
synthesis · Spoken language
identification · Speech-to-speech
translation · Multi-modal speech
processing · Keyword spotting · Emotion recognition · Deep learning in
speech processing
