Interspeech conferences are attended by researchers with a long-term track-record in speech sciences and technology, as well as by early-stage researchers or researchers interested in a new domain within the Interspeech areas. An important part of the conference are the tutorials held on the first day of the conference (2nd Sep 2018). Presented by speakers with long and deep expertise in speech, will provide their audience with a rich learning experience and an exposure to longstanding research problems, contemporary topics of research as well as emerging areas.

We encourage proposals for addressing introductory or advanced topics in an introductory style as well as for targeting experienced researchers who want to dig deeper into a given new topic.

Tutorials, each three-hour duration, may introduce an emerging area of speech-related research, or present an overview of an established area of research, rather than focus on the presenter’s individual research.

Forenoon Tutorials

Tutorial 1 (T1) – Deep Learning Based Speech Separation.
Tutorial 2 (T2) – End-To-End Models for Automatic Speech Recognition.
Tutorial 3 (T3) – Spoofing Attacks in Automatic Speaker Verification: Analysis and Countermeasures.
Tutorial 4 (T4) – Spoken Dialog Technology for Education Domain Applications.

Afternoon Tutorials

Tutorial 5 (T5) – Information Theory of Deep Learning. What do the Layers of Deep Neural Networks represent?
Tutorial 6 (T6) – Articulatory representations: Measurement, Estimation, and Application to State-of-the-Art automatic Speech Recognition.
Tutorial 7 (T7) – Generating Adversarial Examples for Speech and Speaker Recognition and Other Systems.
Tutorial 8 (T8) – Multimodal Speech and Audio Processing in Audio-Visual Human-Robot Interaction.
