Dear Colleagues,

calls for participation.


The Interspeech 2020 Computational Paralinguistics ChallengE (ComParE) is an open Challenge dealing with states and traits of speakers as manifested in their speech signal’s properties. There have so far been eleven consecutive Challenges at INTERSPEECH since 2009. This year, we introduce three new tasks by the Elderly Emotion Sub-Challenge, the Breathing Sub-Challenge, and the Mask Sub-Challenge. For the tasks, the data are provided by the organisers. 
The results of the Challenge will be presented at Interspeech 2020 in Shanghai, China. Prizes will be awarded to the Sub-Challenge winners. 

If you are interested and planning to participate in the Computational Paralinguistics Challenge, or if you want to be kept informed about the Challenge, please send the organisers an e-mail to indicate your interest.
