Meeting Description:

DiSS'07 is the 5th in the series of successful interdisciplinary workshops on disfluency in spontaneous speech. The next workshop will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland from 2-4 August, 2007.

Disfluencies - errors, self-repairs and hesitations in speech - present challenges for researchers in many different fields, including phonetics, perception and production in psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, computational linguistics and automatic speech recognition.

This workshop allows researchers from diverse backgrounds to present their research findings, discuss common interests, identify future directions and establish new collaborations.

We invite submission of 4 page papers for review by March 8 2007. Suitable topics include but are not limited to:

-Descriptive studies of error, self-repair and hesitation; -Cognitive models of error, self-monitoring and self-repair; -Experimental work on perception, comprehension, and production of speech with disfluencies; -Computational approaches to processing disfluent speech; -Automatic speech recognition with spontaneous speech; -Theoretical approaches to disfluency in speech and communication disorders.

Preferred format for submission and workshop details will be available on the DiSS'07 website shortly: http://www.disfluency.org.
