2004 at MIT. Three-hundred participants from over 15
countries attended. The Conference Proceedings are available
on-line,
and include both invited and contributed papers.
Purpose
To provide a single venue in which a broad spectrum
of scientists can gather to review significant research
progress from the past 50 years, assess the current
state of the art, and promote cross-fertilization among
the sub-disciplines in this very wide-ranging field
to benefit future work.
Specific Objectives:
- Survey the past fifty years of speech research in
six different areas:
- Phonetics and Phonology;
- Acoustics of Speech;
- Planning and Production of Speech;
- Speech Perception;
- Development, Pathology and Remediation of Speech;
and
- Technology: Speech Synthesis and Speech Recognition.
- Present examples of interesting current work in
each of the six areas.
- Stimulate future cross-fertilization among the six
areas.
Scientific Program
Includes invited oral sessions and contributed poster
sessions.
