<br>
The Fifth IEEE Workshop on Spoken Language Technology (SLT 2014)
will be held in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, on Dec 7-10, 2014.<br>
<br>
Workshop Technical Theme & Main Goals & Novelties<br>
<br>
The main theme of the workshop will be "machine learning in spoken
language technologies". There will be keynote/guest speakers from
the machine learning community.<br>
One of the workshop goals is to increase both intra and inter
community interactions. Towards this goal, in addition to tutorials
and keynote speeches on main workshop theme and emerging areas, this
year's SLT will host special sessions and self-organizing Special
Interest Group (SIG) meetings, as well as panel discussions
before/during workshop. If you want to excite the community about a
topic and to have an impact on the workshop content, now this is
your chance!<br>
<br>
In addition to submitting papers and/or proposing/organizing SIG
meetings, you can get involved in workshop organization in different
ways: by nominating keynote speakers (<a
href="mailto:nominations@slt2014.org">nominations@slt2014.org</a>),
or by volunteering to be part of workshop organization (<a
href="mailto:volunteers@slt2014.org">volunteers@slt2014.org</a>).
