The central theme of
ELSNET's 7th European Summer School on Language and Speech
Communication was Multimodality in
Language
and Speech Systems (MiLaSS).
The Department of Speech Music and Hearing and the Centre for Speech
Technology at Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) in Stockholm
have hosted the Summer School.
The 6th Summer school was
hosted by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and
the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and had as
subject Robustness:
Real life applications in Language and Speech.
The course material of this
school has been published by Kluwer as a book.
Lexicon development for
language and speech processing
was the title of the summer school hosted by the Centre for
Computational Linguistics at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in
Belgium.
The 1996 summer school was
organized by the Technical University of Budapest with the
subject of Dialogue
Systems in language and Speech Processing.
There has been a growing interest in the theoretical and practical
issues associated with the design and use of computer systems which are
able to participate in spoken or written language dialogues.
Edinburgh University
organized a Summer School on the topic of Multilinguality in Speech
and Language Processing. In
Europe, multilingualism is a recurrent theme in every aspect of speech
and language research. Speech and language processing technologies,
often developed on the basis of English, may prove to need extension or
modification when moved to languages whose characteristics may differ.
Spoken or written language translation combines many aspects of
component technologies and defines its own research area of translation
metholodologies. Computer-aided language learning and assessment
likewise is an area where many interests meet. Multilingual resources -
grammars, language and speech corpora, lexicons and termbanks - are
needed for all of these applications.
Corpus-based Methods in
Language and Speech Processing
was the title organized by the Linguistics department of Utrecht
University. A collection of contributions from lecturers was
published in the book Corpus-based
Methods in Language and Speech Processing.
The very first European
Summer School was organized by the Department of Phonetics and
Linguistics at University College London. ELSNET and the Socrates ICP
