Meeting Description:

The conference is organized by the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University,
Brno, and the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of West Bohemia, Pilsen.
 The conference is supported by International Speech Communication
Association.

TSD series evolved as a prime forum for interaction between researchers in
both spoken and written language processing from all over the world.
Proceedings of TSD form a book published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series.

TSD 2020 will address the following topics within the field of natural
language processing:
- corpora, texts and transcription
- speech analysis, recognition and synthesis
- their intertwining within NL dialogue systems 

The official language of the event will be English, but papers on issues
relating to text and speech processing in languages other than English are
strongly encouraged.

TSD 2020 will be an international conference with a limited number of active
participants. Priority will be given to persons presenting a paper. The
conference program will include presentation of invited papers, oral
presentations, and poster/demonstration sessions. Papers will be presented in
plenary or topic oriented sessions.

Social events including a trip in the vicinity of Brno will allow for
additional informal interactions.
