DiSS-LPSS Joint Workshop 2010, a satellite meeting of INTERSPEECH 2010 will be held in Tokyo, Japan, on September 25-26, 2010.
DiSS is a series of interdisciplinary workshops (Berkeley, 1999; Edinburgh, 2001; Goteborg, 2003; Aix-en-Provence, 2005), which have been addressing disfluency --- stalls, hesitations, and self-repairs --- in normal spontaneous speech from a wide range of disciplines, from automatic speech recognition to linguistic analysis and psycholinguistics.
LPSS, another interdisciplinary workshop on spontaneous speech, took place in Taiwan in 2006, focusing on a broader range of phenomena in spontaneous speech including automatic speech recognition, prosody, spoken dialogues, and disfluency.
Now, it is an opportunity for both organizations to meet.
