Call for papers

The “SpeD 2021” Organizing Committee invites you to attend the 11th Conference on Speech Technology and Human-Computer Dialogue, in Bucharest, Romania. Beyond its traditional topics, the “SpeD 2021” conference and international forum aims to highlight the current trends in AI-based speech technologies and applications, including deep learning algorithms and architectures, as well as the latest developments in machine learning for audio, image, and multimodal information processing, and human-robot interaction.
Furthermore, “SpeD 2021” encourages original contributions on how research in speech technology can provide real solutions for other pattern recognition and understanding applications.

Papers intended for SpeD 2021 should be up to six pages of text (including references). Paper submissions must conform to the format defined in the paper preparation guidelines on the conference webpage. Authors must declare that their contributions are original and have not been submitted elsewhere for publication. All submissions will be peer-reviewed based on their originality, clarity, and relevance. The working language of the conference is English, and papers must be written in English.
