The IEEE Workshop on Spoken Language Technology (SLT) will be held from 18 – 21 December 2018 in Athens, Greece, Europe. Encompassing the current deep learning trends and traditional knowledge-based methods, SLT’s 2018 main theme will be around “Spoken Language Technology in the Era of Deep Learning: Challenges and Opportunities”.

SLT 2018 is accepting proposals for Tutorials. We invite submissions from the wider area of spoken language technology, with emphasis on the following topics:

  • Speech recognition and synthesis
  • Spoken language understanding
  • Spoken document retrieval
  • Question answering from speech

Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

  • Introduce expert non-specialists to an SLT subarea.
  • Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for SLT.
  • Mentor SLT researchers (particularly, junior researchers) on a broad SLT-relevant non-technical topic (examples could be SLT-related jobs, or ethical issues in SLT).

Submission Procedure

Tutorial organizers are invited to send a 2-page abstract by 8 June 2018 at 23h59 (EST) via email to specialSLT2018@ieee.org containing:

 

  • a two-paragraph description of the tutorial objectives and targeted audiences
  • bulleted outline of the tutorial
  • a short presenter bio including their background in the tutorial topic and links to their professional webpage or other showcasing their work

Please note that the duration of each Tutorial is 2 hours.

The submitted abstracts will be reviewed by Special Session and Tutorial chairs and will be accepted/rejected for presentation.

Abstracts should briefly outline the session, including application and system design. Additionally, information should be provided on equipment requirements.

Please note: There are no additional fees for the Tutorials, however all presenters will have to register to SLT 2018.
