Organised by

• Study Group for Machine Translation and Automated Processing of Languages and Speech (GETALP) from the Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble (LIG)
• Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC) from Rovira i Virgili University

Aims

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large, well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2014, significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on methodology.

Venue

SLSP 2014 will take place in Grenoble, in the university campus situated at the foot of the French Alps.

Scope

The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical methods (including machine learning) within language and speech processing. The list below is indicative and not exhaustive:

• phonology, morphology
• syntax, semantics
• discourse, dialogue, pragmatics
• statistical models for natural language processing
• supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning methods applied to natural language, including speech
• statistical methods, including biologically-inspired methods
• similarity
• alignment
• language resources
• part-of-speech tagging
• parsing
• semantic role labelling
• natural language generation
• anaphora and coreference resolution
• speech recognition
• speaker identification/verification
• speech transcription
• text-to-speech synthesis
• machine translation
• translation technology
• text summarisation
• information retrieval
• text categorisation
• information extraction
• term extraction
• spelling correction
• text and web mining
• opinion mining and sentiment analysis
• spoken dialogue systems
• author identification, plagiarism and spam filtering

Structure of the Conference

SLSP 2014 will consist of

• invited talks
