I only have very vague ideas about the "how", but the fact is that speech
recognition has its own conferences (e.g. InterSpeech, EuroSpeech) and
that everything related to acoustic models (as opposed to language models)
doesn't really get the interest of the CL community. I think that fields with a
strong commercial interest (MT, Speech, IR) tend to split off the main block
of CL, more readily so when the meat of the typical contribution is in
technical details
that can't be wrapped in an easy take-home message for people outside that
sub-discipline.

Best,
Yannick
