CALL FOR PAPERS
COCOSDA, an
acronym of the International Committee for the Co-ordination and
Standardisation of Speech Databases and Assessment Techniques, was established
in 1991 to promote international cooperation in developing speech corpora and
coordinating assessment methods of speech input/output systems. In 1994 it was
proposed that a sub-organization for the Oriental community should be
established to share linguistic features unique to the region. After a
preparatory meeting held by interested members in Hong Kong in 1997, annual
meetings have been held since 1998. The community has enjoyed increasing
participation from the community and enthusiastic interests to organize future
meetings, thus ensuring promising prospect of sustained activities in the
future. The purpose of Oriental COCOSDA is to exchange ideas, share information
and discuss regional matters on creation, utilization, dissemination of spoken
language corpora of oriental languages and also on the assessment methods of
speech recognition/synthesis systems as well as to promote speech research on
oriental languages. The 22nd Conference
of Oriental COCOSDA will be hosted by the University of San Carlos. With the Philippines hosting Oriental COCOSDA
for the first time, we turn a new leaf to continually help boost the research
and development in the field of speech technology and for further enthusiasm
towards speech technology in East and Southeast Asia.
We invite papers describing substantial, original and unpublished research covering aspects of
speech databases, assessments and speech I/O, including, but not limited to:
- Assessment of speech input and output technologies
- Multilingual speech corpora
- Phonetic/phonological systems for Oriental languages
- Romanization of Non-Roman characters
- Segmentation and labeling
- Special topics on speech databases and assessments
- Speech databases and text corpora
- Speech processing models and systems
- Speech prosody and labeling
- Standardization
