Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 18-Jun-2017 

Meeting Description:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying excellent
research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use
in computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting
contributions from both fields. Though there exist large, well-known
conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is
a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and people will
hopefully happen. In SLSP 2017, significant room will be reserved to young
scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on
methodology.

Venue:
 
SLSP 2017 will take place in Le Mans, in the region Pays de la Loire, a city
with well-preserved Gallo-Roman remnants. The venue will be:
 
Claude Chappe Informatics Institute
University of Le Mans
Avenue Laënnec
72085 Le Mans Cedex 9

Invited Speakers:
 
Haizhou Li (National University of Singapore), Recent Advances in Singing
Synthesis

Bhiksha Raj (Carnegie Mellon University), An Introduction to Neural Networks

Paolo Rosso (Technical University of Valencia), Author Profiling in Social
Media: The Impact of Emotions in Discourse Analysis


Final Call for Papers:

The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical
models (including machine learning) within language and speech processing.
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited
to:

- Anaphora and coreference resolution
