This symposium will focus on research results on the processing, analysis
and understanding of the linguistic characteristics of spontaneous speech.
And it will also provide an excellent opportunity for linguists, speech
engineers, and practitioners of natural language processing and system
developers to share with each other the latest thinking and results on
spontaneous speech. With no restriction on the languages under
investigation, we are interested in contributions concerned with phenomena
in all languages. Invited speakers of the symposium are Dafydd Gibbon,
Kikuo Maekawa and Elizabeth Shriberg.
