CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
The journal LANGUES has just issued its first volume. The second one will be
out in december 1998. We are now calling for papers for the third issue.
LANGUES will issue four volumes a year.
This publication, which will mainly publish papers in French
and which is partly financed by AUPELF-UREF, aims to facilitate the
dialogue between all the people who work on or with language,
researchers, teachers of French, etc. It will thus publish papers on
various subjects having to do with all the domains or disciplines
related to language: linguistics (phonology, morphology, lexical
semantics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), sociolinguistics (social
and cultural aspects of language and language use, linguistic
variations, creole studies), applied linguistics (teaching French as a
second language, learning to read), psycholinguistics, language
engineering (automatic understanding, automatic translation,
man-machine dialogue, production, speech analysis, information
retrieval, corpus processing). This is not an exhaustive list.
LANGUES will be accompanied by an online web server where one
or more paper(s) per volume will be accessible, as well as some
services, conference announcements, tables of contents for other
scientific journals, new publications, theses, etc. It will also be
accompanied by an electronic mailing list, which will encourage
discussions about papers published in the journal and will allow
exchanges on other subjects as well.
The submission of papers in English is possible. Papers in
English with two positive evaluations will be translated in French.
CALL FOR PAPERS N 3
- ------------------
Papers of 20 pages (30 000 characters) at most in the domains
mentioned above or in related domains can be submitted before the 1rst
of december 1998. Papers in French should respect the instructions to

Subject: Workshop on dialogue and prosody
CALL FOR PAPERS
You are invited to submit an abstract plus title to the
ESCA TUTORIAL AND RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON DIALOGUE AND PROSODY
EINDHOVEN (THE NETHERLANDS), SEPTEMBER 1-3, 1999
http://www.tue.nl/ipo/sli/etrw.html
INTRODUCTION
The IPO, Center for Research on User-System Interaction in Eindhoven
(The Netherlands), in association with the Eindhoven University of
Technology (TUE) and the European Speech Communication Association
(ESCA), is pleased to announce a 3-day workshop on dialogue and
prosody, which will take place in the Eindhoven area in the week before
Eurospeech `99. Anyone dealing with theoretical, empirical,
computational or experimental approaches to the interplay between
dialogue and prosody is invited to submit an abstract. We specifically
welcome those contributions of which the content is directly relevant
for human-computer interaction.
MOTIVATION
Now that spoken dialogue systems are becoming more sophisticated,
increasing demands are placed on the way these systems deal with
prosody, both in the generation of system utterances as in the
processing of user utterances. On the one hand, appropriate prosody
may facilitate the processing of system utterances by users of a
dialogue system. On the other hand, dialogue systems may profit from
taking into consideration prosodic information of user utterances at
different levels of representation. However, for experts in the area
of prosody it is not always easy to link their work to the developments
in the domain of dialogue modelling, whereas researchers working in the
area of dialogue modelling often are rather naive with respect to
prosodic modelling. The goal of the workshop is bringing together
researchers from both domains to provide either group with a better
view of developments in the other domain and in this way stimulate
progress.
FORMAT
The format of the workshop will consist of keynote presentations by
experts in the field of dialogue and prosody modelling, combined with
oral and poster presentations of accepted papers. All presentations
will be plenary. All contributions to the workshop will be published in
workshop proceedings, that will consist of 4-page camera-ready papers.
As an additional result of the workshop, the organizers intend to
produce a working document that will contain an overview of the
state-of-the-art, some open research questions, and position statements
regarding the theme of dialogue and prosody. In order to maximize the
possibilities for fruitful discussion, the number of participants will
be limited to about a hundred. Priority wil be given to persons with
accepted papers on a first-come first-served basis.
TOPICS
Questions in this domain that could be addressed at the workshop are
for instance:
- Which prosodic features of user utterances help the system to improve
performance with respect to ASR, speech understanding, and dialogue
management (turn-taking, back-channeling)?
- How can those features be extracted automatically and be made
available at the right time?
- With which prosodic features should system utterances be provided to
help the user extract the information conveyed by the system, and to
improve the fluency of the interaction?
- To what extent are prosodic characteristics of user utterances in
their interactions with dialogue systems different from those in
human-human interaction?
- How do we deal with prosodic variability in interactions between
humans and machines, for instance due to level of expertise (novices
versus experts)?
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Researchers working in this domain are invited to email a 400-words
abstract (plain ascii format), together with title, affiliation and
keywords to diapro at ipo.tue.nl
If electronic submission is not possible, please send 5 copies of a
1-page abstract to
