It is given to promising young scientists in the domain of Speech Communication. The Award provides financial support for the development of a multi-media project promoting the work of these young scientists, and is valued at 7,622 Euros. The first award was delivered to Tony Ezzat from MIT in June 2000, for his research in Audiovisual Speech Synthesis, and the second award to Johanna Barry from University of Melbourne in September 2002 for her work on the acquisition of lexical tones in profoundly hearing-impaired speakers using a cochlear implant. The third award will be delivered this year to ANY PROJECT IN THE FIELD OF AUDIO VISUAL SPEECH COMMUNICATION. Candidates should be in the final stages of their doctoral research or within the five years following their PhD. The Prix Benoît award will offer financial support to develop a multi-media project which (a) demonstrates the candidate's research in a way that helps launching that candidate's career, and (b) leverages electronic publishing technologies intelligently so as to facilitate the widest possible dissemination of this content. In the application, the candidate should provide -- a statement of research interest, -- a detailed curriculum vitae, and -- a description of the proposed multi-media project. If the project already exists, a copy or link should be provided along with the application. Applications should be sent to Pascal Perrier (perrier@icp.inpg.fr ) and received by Friday April 30th, 2004. Electronic submissions are mandatory. The successful candidate will be notified by June 1st and invited to make a brief presentation of his/her work at the ICSLP'2004 Conference in Jeju (Jeju Island, Korea). Travel expenses for attendance at the Award ceremony will be provided by the Christian Benoît Association. For further information, please contact Pascal Perrier. ** The Christian Benoît Association is a nonprofit organization, whose purpose is to facilitate the development of research projects in the field of speech communication. Established in honor of Christian Benoît, French CNRS researcher in the field of speech communication who died on the 26th of April, 1998, at the age of 41, the Award places special emphasis on multimedia representations of ongoing research ============================================================= - CALL TO ALL MEMBERS: ISCA is looking to improve its website (www.isca-speech.org) and would very much welcome feedback from its members.

POST-DOC Position at Institut Eurecom. Department: Multimedia Communications . Description: Eurecom () is an international teaching and research institute , founded in 1991 as a joint initiative by Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications (ENST- Paris). It welcomes students from several engineering schools and universities ENST Paris, ENST Brittany, INT Evry, EPFL, ETHZ (Zurich), Helsinki University of Technology, Politecnico di Torino...They receive an education in Communications Systems (Networking, Multimedia, Security, Mobile Communications, Web services...) Professors, lecturers and PhD students conduct research in these domains. Speech processing is under the responsibility of Professor Chris Wellekens in the Dpt Multimedia Communications. Spoken languages at the Institute are French end English for the lectures. English is the usual language for research exchanges. Speech research involves speaker identification using speaker clustering or eigenvoices, phonemic variabilities of lexicons, optimal feature extraction, Bayesian networks and variational techniques, navigation in audio databases (segmentation in speakers, wordspotting,...). The following jobs are open in the framework of a EU project that will start by February 2004. Job description: POST DOC or RESEARCH ENGINEER The European project DIVINES, a STREP/ 6th FP has been accepted by the Commission and will start in January 2004. Eight labs and companies are partners: Multitel (B), Eurecom (F), France Telecon R/D (F), University of Oldenburg (D), Babeltechnologies (B), Loquendo (I), Politecnico di Torino (I), LIA (F). The aim of the project is to analyse the reasons why recognizers are unable to reach the human recognition rates even in the case of lack of semantic content. All weaknesses will be analyzed at the level of feature extraction, phone and lexical models. Focus will be put on intrinsic variabilities of speech in quiet and noisy environment as well as in read and spontaneous speech. The analysis will not be restricted to tests on several databases with different features and models but will go into the detailed behavior of the algorithms and models. Suggestions of new solutions will arise and be experimented. The duration of the project is for 3 years. The Speech group is looking for a Post-doc student who acquired a hands-on practice of speech processing. He/she must have an excellent practice of signal and speech analysis as well as a good knowledge of optimal classification using Bayesian criteria. He/she must be open-minded to original solutions proposed after a rigorous analysis of the low level phenomena in speech processing. Fluency in english is mandatory (write, understand and speak). He/she should be able to represent Eurecom at the periodical meetings. Ability to work in a small team is also required.

As the era of information age continues, the research in speech technologies is further acclerated by the advance of powerful computing devices, the data driven pattern recognition methods, and the need to generate machine understandable metadata for web cotents and other information sources. Although various speech systems are built and applied in numerous applications, the full potential of speech technologies in multimodal/multimedia communication still remains to be uncovered. This special issue is to fill the need of a comprehensive review of new approaches and advances of speech technologies under the broad perspective of intelligent human-machine communication. Speech technologies and systems touch upon many essential signal processing techniques, and they are in the core of multimodal/multimedia communication research. It is hoped that such a systematic and up-to-date overview of the field, including tutorials to well established or new techniques, can bring the awareness and applications of speech technologies closer to the general signal processing community. Review papers are solicited from the following non-exhaustive list of topics. The emphasis is on recent advances in current technologies and directions in furture research. Other related work is also welcome. Scope of Topics: + Novel speech recognition techniques and systems + Novel speech understanding techniques and approaches in language modeling + Dialogue system design and architecture + Spoken document retrieval systems and their underlying technologies + Speech technologies in multimodal interaction and multimedia communication + Novel signal processing techniques for robust speech recognition (e.g., distant talker speech recognition) + Novel techniques for audio-visual and multi-sensor, multimodal speech recognition + Facial animation synthesis and recognition Submission Procedure: Prospective authors should submit their white papers to the web submission system at http://www.cspl.umd.edu/spm/, according to the following timetable. The desired length of white papers is 5 to 10 pages. White paper due: May 1, 2004 Invitation notification: June 1, 2004 Manuscript due: September 1, 2004 Acceptance Notification: December 1, 2004 Final Manuscript due: January 15, 2005 Publication date: May, 2005 Guest Editors: Li Deng, Microsoft Research Redmond, WA 98052, USA deng@microsoft.com Kuansan Wang Microsoft Research Redmond, WA 98052, USA kuansanw@microsoft.com Wu Chou Avaya Labs Research Rm. 2D34 233 Mt.
