The SLPAT 2012 workshop will be held in Montreal, 7-8 June, 2012 (SLPAT is the acronym for Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies).
This third workshop will build on two previous workshops (2010 Los Angeles and 2011 Edinburgh), bringing together individuals from both research communities and the individuals they are working to assist.
The range of topics in AT and AAC that make use of speech and natural language processing (NLP) technologies is very large. Yet the number of individuals actively working within the two research communities – AT/AAC on the one hand and speech/NLP on the other – is relatively small.
Submissions are welcome on theories, models, techniques and evaluation studies from all areas of speech and language technology, tailored to accessibility, augmentative & alternative communication, and assistive technology.
The deadline for paper and demo proposal submission is March 1, 2012.
