SpAM is a satellite workshop of the 2018 CLARIN-ERIC Annual Conference

are welcome. A non-exhaustive list of potential topics is given below:

- Multimodal interaction, visual and gestural aspects of verbal and non-verbal
vocalizations
- Perception of speech as a multimodal process
- Theoretical models of speech production/perception/evolution/change based on
empirical evidence
- Multimodal and multilevel technologies for the study of speech
- Multimodal speech synthesis and recognition
- Artificial interfaces and man-machine interaction
- Systems for the simulation (e.g. virtual reality) of speech production
- Technological applications of multimodal speech in diverse domains (vocal
and assistive technologies, cultural heritage etc.)
- Acquisition, management, access and distribution of multimodal corpora for
the study of speech;
- Development, management and sharing of multimodal speech resources
- Multimodal approaches and resources in speech therapy
