Subject: [AUDITORY] CFP: 5th International Workshop on Speech Processing in Everyday Environments (CHiME 2018) From: Jon Barker <j.p.barker@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 15:32:11 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--001a113dee7ec9834c0564a0ffa4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" --------------------------------------------- CHiME 2018 5th International Workshop on Speech Processing in Everyday Environments Microsoft, Hyderabad, Sep 7, 2018 Submission deadline: Aug 3, 2018 http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/chime_workshop/ ---------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE WORKSHOP CHiME 2018 will bring together researchers from the fields of computational hearing, speech enhancement, acoustic modelling and machine learning to discuss the robustness of speech processing in everyday environments. As a focus for discussion, the workshop will host the CHiME-5 Speech Separation and Recognition Challenge. To find out more about the challenge, see http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/chime_challenge/. PAPER SUBMISSION Relevant research topics include (but are not limited to): - training schemes: data augmentation, semi-supervised training, - speaker localization and beamforming, - single- or multi-microphone enhancement and separation, - robust features and feature transforms, - robust acoustic and language modeling, - robust speech recognition, - robust speaker and language recognition, - robust paralinguistics, - cross-environment or cross-dataset performance analysis, - environmental background noise modelling. Papers reporting evaluation results on the CHiME-5 dataset or on other datasets are both welcome.
