Meeting Description: 

Scope of the Special Session:

The Interspeech Special Session on Vocal Accommodation in Human-Computer
Interaction will bring together a cross-disciplinary array of scientists who
study the phenomenon of vocal accommodation with respect to the human-computer
interface from different points of views such as:

(a) how human vocal behavior accommodates to machines
(b) how machines cope with vocal plasticity as an effect of such accommodation
behavior
(c) how accommodation of machines to human voices can influence human voice
processing
(d) how knowledge about human-human accommodation can enhance machine
performance. 

Objectives:

The objectives are centered around the following:

- Speech production: to understand how human accommodation behavior in
human-human or human-machine communication influences speech technology
applications.
- Speech perception: to understand how humans accommodate their perception to
machines.
- Voice recognition: to understand how human-human and human-machine
accommodation influences recognition performance in automatic recognition or
forensic applications.
- Language change: to understand how human vocal behavior changes and affects
language systems through human-machine accommodation.
- Social implications: to understand the impact of machine-human accommodation
on human social behavior.
- Threats: to understand the threats imposed by machines being increasingly
able to accommodate to and imitate individual human voices.
- Opportunities: to understand how machine voice synthesis or recognition can
be made more effective by modelling human-human accommodation.
