Meeting Description:

The second workshop on Psycholinguistic Approaches to Speech Recognition in

The aim of the two-day workshop is to bring together scientists from different
disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, computer science,
neuroscience, and cognitive science, working on the topic of speech
recognition in adverse conditions.

Basic themes will be, but are not limited to:
- Sensory degradation
Extrinsic: Noise and other distortions, such as atypical speech, accented
speech, conversational speech
Intrinsic: Hearing impairments and cochlear implants
- Incomplete knowledge (L1-L2, adults-children)
- Limited processing resources (dual tasking, divided attention, etc).

There will be ample time for social interaction during two coffee breaks and a

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
