Meeting Description:

Speech in the Natural Context - Models and Methods for the Analysis of Speech
Under Real Communicative Conditions

Speech data collected from real communicative contexts is characterized by
numerous factors such as the dialogic organization of interaction,
simultaneity of information sources, dynamic nature of the signal, and
noisiness of environments in which they are produced, just to name a few.
These conditions underlie all natural communicative speech events and they are
part of both speakers and listeners' everyday experiences. As such, they
constitute an essential aspect of human-to-human and human-to-machine
communication, while contributing significantly to signal interpretation.

The aim of the conference is to offer an opportunity to discuss how to
integrate all the different components of the speech signal as produced under
real communicative conditions, and the many dimensions of the communicative
situation.

Invited Speakers:

- Khalil Iskarous, University of Southern California
- Tanja Schultz, University of Bremen

Call for Papers: 

We invite contributions that discuss the influence of real communicative
conditions on the production and perception of speech, on the (re)elaboration
of theories of speech communication, on the implementation of applications for
situated interaction, and on the resolution of real-world problems. In this
respect, dimensions of particular concern are:

- Dialogical interaction: humans speak with others to communicate linguistic
meanings and influence behaviors, opinions and emotional states within the
boundaries of the conversational structure
- Signal plurality: the acoustic signal is only one of many in a complex
modular semiotic system aimed at transmitting information
- Dynamicity of signals: acoustic and physiological signals are organized and
coordinated with each other in both time and space
- Physical environment: the communication takes place in physical settings
that influence transmission quality.

In order to encourage discussion on these topics, the conference promotes a
very broad approach integrating the phonetic, linguistic, psycholinguistic,
cognitive, artificial intelligence, machine learning and signal analysis
perspectives. Therefore, possible topics include, but are not limited to, the
following:

- The phonetic dimension of spoken interaction and its effects on
communication
- The environmental dimension of spoken interaction and its effects on
communication (e.g. co-presence of speakers and visual accessibility, noise,
temperature, humidity, etc.)
- The dynamical dimension of the signal (e.g. dynamic models of speech
analysis, speech recognition models, etc.)
- Integration of acoustic and physiological signals in human and non-human
communication for the interpretation of human and non-human communication
- Integration and interpretation of phonetic and non-phonetic signals for the
profiling of the speaker
- Integration and interpretation of phonetic and non-phonetic signals for the
automatic speech synthesis and recognition
- Integration of signals in the interfaces for vocal interaction.

Abstracts should be written in English or Italian, and should be restricted to
4000 characters (including spaces) and two pages in A4 format, including
graphs and references.
