Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Recently, we organized the first 'Spoken CALL Shared Task'
[<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://regulus.unige.ch/spokencallsharedtask/">https://regulus.unige.ch/spokencallsharedtask/</a>].<br>
Results were presented at a special session of the SLaTE-2017
workshop [<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.slate2017.org/">http://www.slate2017.org/</a>].<br>
<br>
The first 'Spoken CALL Shared Task' was successful, people
expressed interest in a follow-up, and that is why we are now
organizing a 2nd edition of the 'Spoken CALL Shared Task'
[<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tiny.cc/2nd-spoken-CALL-task">http://tiny.cc/2nd-spoken-CALL-task</a> ~
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://regulus.unige.ch/spokencallsharedtask_2ndedition/">https://regulus.unige.ch/spokencallsharedtask_2ndedition/</a>]. The
second version of the task will offer improved resources. In
particular, it will make available the highest-performing speech
recognizer from the first version of the task, and about twice as
much training data.<br>
<br>
The preliminary schedule of the 2nd 'Spoken CALL Shared Task' is
as follows:<br>
• 27 Oct 2017, Training data and resources released<br>
• 31 Jan 2018, Release test data<br>
• 7 Feb 2018, Deadline for submission of entries<br>
• 23 Mar 2018, Interspeech submission deadline<br>
• 2-6 Sep 2018, Presentations at a special session of
Interspeech-2018<br>
<br>
