Meeting Description:
SPEECH ANALYSIS, SYNTHESIS AND RECOGNITION
Applications of Phonetic Research
Kraków, POLAND
19-23 September, 2005
CALL FOR PAPERS & APPLICATION DEMONSTRATIONS
Organized by
Polish Phonetic Association
AGH University of Science and Technology
Supported by
Acoustics Committee of the Polish Academy of Science
Institute of Linguistics, Adam Mickiewicz University
The conference, organized to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Polish
Phonetic Association (PTFon), is of interest to several scientific communities,
including Human Language and Speech Technology, Linguistics, Phonetics,
Phoniatrics and Musicology. Its scientific program covers a wide variety of
topics related to the contemporary applications of phonetics. While the meeting
will be focused mainly on the fields of speech analysis, processing, synthesis
and recognition, contributions from many other areas of speech and language
studies are warmly invited. We intend to create an open forum for speech
communication science thought exchange to take the advantage of the variety of
research perspectives and approaches.
The Call for Papers is addressed to researchers engaged in either academic or
industrial research. In order to support the multi-disciplinary goal of the
conference, the Scientific and Organizing Committees include representatives of
various scientific communities.
PROGRAM
The scientific program will include invited talks, presentations of accepted
papers in oral and poster sessions, referenced demonstrations of innovative
applications and products, and panel sessions. The mode of presentation (oral
versus poster) will be based on the appropriateness of the paper to that mode of
communication.
- Main scientific areas: applications of phonetics in speech synthesis and
recognition; prosody in speech synthesis, recognition and analysis;
- pitch perception in music and speech
- corpus-based methods in speech synthesis and recognition;
- natural and synthetic expressive speech;
- voice quality in natural and synthetic speech;
- evaluation of speech synthesis and recognition systems;
- applications of phonetics in audiology and phoniatrics: speech signal analysis
based medical diagnostics;
- pragmaphonetics in discourse and dialogue analysis;
- text and speech machine processing and translation.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit papers on the conference topics. The papers will
be reviewed by the Scientific Committee, and selected on the basis of their
scientific quality, innovative content and relevance to the topic of the conference.
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS/PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS
Innovative applications and products related to the conference topics are sought
for demonstration at special conference sessions. The applications will be given
free demonstration space.
REGISTRATION FORM
Please note that every person who intend to participate in the conference
