The Ninth biannual IEEE workshop on Automatic
Speech Recognition and Understanding (ASRU) will be held November
27-December 1, 2005. The ASRU Workshops have a tradition of
bringing together researchers from academia and industry in an intimate
and collegial setting to discuss problems of common interest in
automatic speech recognition and understanding. Papers in all areas of
human language technology are encouraged to be submitted, with emphasis
placed on automatic speech recognition and understanding technology,
speech to text systems, spoken dialog systems, multilingual language
processing, robustness in ASR, spoken document retrieval, and
speech-to-speech translation.
The workshop program will consist of invited lectures, oral and poster
presentations, and panel discussions. Ample time will be allowed for
informal discussions and to enjoy the impressive tropical
setting. The workshop website http://www.asru2005.org will be
accessible by January, 2005.
