Bibliographie
This workshop will bring together researchers from all areas of speech
and language technology with a common interest in making everyday life
more accessible for people with physical, cognitive, sensory, emotional,
or developmental disabilities. The workshop will provide an opportunity
for individuals from both research communities, and the individuals with
whom they are working, to assist to share research findings, and to
discuss present and future challenges and the potential for
collaboration and progress. General topics include but are not limited
to :
- Speech synthesis and speech recognition for physical or cognitive
impairments
- Speech transformation for improved intelligibility
- Speech and language technologies for daily assisted living and Ambient
Assisted Living (AAL)
- Translation systems ; to and from speech, text, symbols and
signlanguage
- Novel modeling and machine learning approaches for Augmentativeand
Alternative Communication (AAC) / Assistive Technologies (AT)
applications
- Personalized voices for ACC based on limited data (e.g., nearly
nonverbal)
- Biofeedback for therapy in neurological disorders.
- Text processing for improved comprehension, e.g., sentence
simplification or TTS
- Silent speech : speech technology based on sensors without audio
- Symbol languages, sign languages, nonverbal communication
- Dialogue systems and natural language generation for assistive
technologies
- Multimodal user interfaces and dialogue systems adapted to assistive
technologies
- NLP for cognitive assistance applications
- Presentation of graphical information for people with visual
impairments
- Speech and NLP applied to typing interface applications
- Brain-computer interfaces for language processing applications
- Speech, natural language and multimodal interfaces to assistive
technologies
- Assessment of speech and language processing within the contextof AT
- Web accessibility ; text simplification, summarization, and adapted
presentation modes such as speech, signs or symbols
- Deployment of speech and NLP tools in the clinic or in the field
- Linguistic resources ; corpora and annotation schemes
- Evaluation of systems and components, including methodology
- Other topics in AAC and AT
PAPER REQUIREMENTS
Papers should describe original work which are either completed work or
advanced ongoing research which should not have been published
elsewhere. Full papers should contain up to 6 pages of content, with 1–2
extra pages for references.
The submission should be performed through the easychair website only :
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=slpat2016
All submissions should follow the INTERSPEECH 2016 formatting
requirements in all but page length :
http://www.slpat.org/slpat2016/instructions.html
Note that we are more liberal with regards to the number of pages, but
this does not mean that your SLPAT submission has to be longer than a
regular INTERSPEECH paper.
Please contact the conference organizers at
slpat-workshop@googlegroups.com with any questions.
