CSL Special Issue on Broadening the View on Speaker Analysis

Deadline:  01 March 2012

This Special Issue of Computer Speech and Language (Elsevier) aims at Broadening the View on Speaker Analysis. It will focus on technical issues for highly improved and robust speaker (and singer) state and trait analysis and provide forum for some of the very best experimental work on this topic. Original, previously unpublished submissions are encouraged.

Call for Proposals to host the Fifth International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2013)

Deadline:  15 March 2012

The HUMAINE association is pleased to call for proposals to host the Fifth International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII 2013). ACII is a central event for researchers exploring the role of emotion and other affective phenomena in human-computer and human-robot interaction, with relations to graphics, AI, robotics, vision, speech, synthetic characters, games, educational software, etc.

INTERSPEECH 2012 Speaker Trait Challenge

Deadline:  01 April 2012

The INTERSPEECH 2012 Speaker Trait Challenge shall help bridging the gap between excellent research on paralinguistic information in spoken language and low compatibility of results. Three Sub-Challenges are addressed: In the Personality Sub-Challenge, the personality of a speaker has to be determined based on acoustics potentially including linguistics above or below average for the OCEAN five personality dimensions. In the Likability Sub-Challenge, the likability of a speaker's voice has to be determined by a suited learning algorithm and acoustic features. While the annotation provides likability in multiple levels, only two classes have to be recognised accordingly: likability above or below average. In the Pathology Sub-Challenge, the intelligibility of a speaker has to be determined by a suited classification algorithm and acoustic features. The results of the Challenge will be presented at Interspeech 2012 in Portland, Oregon. Prizes will be awarded to the Sub-Challenge winners.

Special Issue of IEEE Intelligent Systems Magazine on Concept-Level Opinion and Sentiment Analysis

Deadline:  01 July 2012

This special issue focuses on the introduction, presentation, and discussion of novel approaches to opinion mining and sentiment analysis that are not entirely based on domain-dependent corpora but also on general-purpose semantic knowledge bases. The main motivation for the issue, in particular, is to go beyond a mere word-level analysis of text and provide novel concept-level approaches to opinion mining and sentiment analysis that allow a more efficient passage from (unstructured) textual information to (structured) machine-processible data, in potentially any domain.
