Workshop CFP
The International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-resourced languages (SLTU) will be held at Hanoi University of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam, May 5 - May 7, 2008.
Workshop Web Site : http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu
The STLU meeting is a technical conference focused on spoken language processing for under-resourced languages. This first workshop will focus on Asian languages, and the idea is to mainly (but not exclusively) target languages of the area (Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, Chinese dialects, Thai, etc.). However, all contributions on other under-resourced languages of the world are warmly welcomed.
The workshop aims at gathering researchers working on :
ASR, synthesis and speech translation for under-resourced languages
portability issues
fast resources acquisition (speech, text, lexicons, parallel corpora)
spoken language processing for languages with rich morphology
spoken language processing for languages without separators
spoken language processing for languages without writing system
...
