Meeting URL: http://www.ttic.edu/sigml/symposium2012/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The goal of the symposium is to foster communication and collaboration between researchers in these synergistic areas, taking advantage of the nearby location of Interspeech 2012. MLSLP'12 is the second annual meeting of the Machine Learning Special Interest Group (SIGML) of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA).
