Conference Registration Application for 2016 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop (SLT). The conference is scheduled to be held in San Juan, US on 2016-12-13  to 2016-12-16 with IEEE Signal Processing Society participating as a sponsor of this event.

SPS-SLTC invites proposals to host the 2016 IEEE Workshop on Spoken Language Technology (SLT-2016). Past SLT workshops have fostered a collegiate atmosphere through a thoughtful selection of venues, thus offering a unique opportunity for researchers to interact and learn.

  • The IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop series focuses on promoting the progress made on the different fields of speech and language technologies and their impact on human life. The Speech and Language Technical Committee has the pleasure to announce San Juan, Puerto Rico as the venue for the next SLT 2016 from Dec 13-16. Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, is an amazing location and is easily accessible from the US and other parts of the world.

  • Co-sponsored by IEEE Puerto Rico & Caribbean Section




Agenda

The proposal should include the information outlined below.

  • Workshop location and practicalities

    • Geographical location

    • Workshop venue (facilities, meeting rooms, network access during the workshop, audio/visual equipment)

    • Accommodation -- hotel availability and pricing

    • Meals

    • Transportation options -- major airports, logistics, visas

    • Climate

  • Approximate workshop dates

    • Previous workshops have been held in the month of December.

  • Rough budget and expected sponsorship.

    • Approximately how much will participants need to pay to attend, including accommodation and meals as well as registration.

    • Estimated budget for e.g. 100/150 participants and expected sponsorships. This should include venue costs, administration, banquet, coffee breaks, publication costs, etc. (Note, unlike larger conferences such as ICASSP, Interspeech, smaller workshops do not have sufficient registration fees to cover the total workshop costs. The IEEE Signal Processing Society is particularly motivated to see that both workshop and conference costs are held to levels which allow the diverse membership equal opportunities to participate without registration costs being a major barrier).

  • Technical committee

  • Local arrangements.

    • Who will be in charge of organizing the workshop, and how will finances be handled (e.g., will participants be able to pay by credit card)?

  • Tentative schedule.

    • Paper submission, notification of acceptance, proposals for demonstrations, early registration

    • Reception, talks, posters, demo session, banquet, etc.

If you would like to be the organizer(s) of SLT-2016, please send the Workshop Sub-Committee a draft proposal before June 30th, 2015. (Point of contact: gsaon@us.ibm.com). Proposals will be evaluated by the SPS SLTC, with a decision expected in July.

The organizers of the ASRU workshop do not have to be SLTC members, and we encourage submissions from all potential organizers. So we encourage you to distribute this call for proposals far and wide to invite members of the speech and language community at large to submit a proposal to organize the next SLT workshop.
