ACM Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing 
Special Issue on
Recent Advances in Asian Language Spoken Document Retrieval
(http://chinese.csie.ncku.edu.tw/CallForPaper/)

With the rapid expansion of audio media sources such as radio, TV, lectures, and telephony recordings, 
there is an increasing demand for automatic indexing and retrieval of spoken documents.  
Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) is essentially the task of retrieving excerpts from a large collection 
of spoken documents based on a user’s request. Over the past several years, 
SDR has emerged as an interdisciplinary field combining automatic speech recognition, 
natural language processing, and information retrieval. SDR has benefited from advances in speech 
and language processing as well as from the availability of large spoken databases. 
With its focus on fundamental research in natural spoken language processing, 
SDR is key to applications such as voice search, voice surveillance, voice data mining and call center automation.
We invite papers on recent advances in Asian language SDR research. 
Submissions must not have been previously published, with the exception that substantial extensions of conference papers 
will be considered. Of particular interest are studies that directly address problems in Asian spoken languages, 
but new and general methods in SDR tested on Asian languages are also welcome. Topics of interest include:   

•Speech recognition and adaptation algorithms
•Natural language processing for SDR
•Topic detection and tracking, routing 
•Clustering and classification
•Indexing and retrieval 
•Summarization and information extraction 
•Understanding, organization and visualization 
•Cross-language and multilingual SDR
•Query-by-example SDR
•Spoken dialogue systems for accessing spoken archives 
•Spoken document corpora 
•Performance, compression, scalability, architectures, efficiency 
•Voice data mining and machine learning for SDR
•SDR in creative applications

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: 
Papers should be formatted following the style guidelines for the ACM Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing 
(http://www.acm.org/pubs/talip/authors.html#STYLE_GUIDELINES).
