Workshop on
AUTOMATIC SPEAKER RECOGNITION, IDENTIFICATON AND VERIFICATION
Martigny, Switzerland, APRIL 5-7, 1994
Advance Notice, Preliminary Registration and Call for Papers
The European Speech Communication Association (ESCA) has identified
Automatic Speaker Recognition, Identification and Verification as
important areas of current research interest. An ESCA Tutorial and
Research Workshop (ETRW) is being organized in Martigny on 5-7 April
1994. Contributions should be research oriented but also concerned with
applications, which may be demonstrated (live or video).
WORKSHOP THEMES
Contributions are welcome on the following topics:
- Intra-and inter-speaker variability
- Multi-speaker speech data-bases
- Voice transformation and mimics
- Speaker verification systems
- Vocabulary dependent/independent approaches
- Tools for speaker identification
- Telecommunication applications
- Banking and finance applications
- Forensic applications
WORKSHOP SITE
Situated in the heart of the Alps, Martigny offers most summer and winter
sports including mountaineering and skiing. Several sites, in Martigny,
are under consideration. The final location will be announced in the next
circular.
FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP
This will be an international workshop with a limited number of active
participants. Each session will be introduced by a tutorial presentation
from an invited expert. Most papers will be presented in plenary sessions
with time for demonstration and discussion. Other papers will be
presented in poster sessions preceded by an oral summary of all session
contributions. An exhibition will be organized for those desiring to
demonstrate their work.
PUBLICATION
The Proceedings will be available upon registration. After the workshop
the International Scientific Committee will select a number of workshop
papers for publication as articles in a Book to be edited by the
organizers. These authors will be invited to produce an updated version
of their original paper on the basis of the Committee's comments.
REGISTRATION FEES
The Registration fee is 430 FS ( ~250 ECUs) including mailing,
administration, proceedings, refreshment served at coffee breaks and
workshop dinner with a 50 FS (~30 ECUs) reduction for ESCA members. A
special package including two years' membership (94/95) in ESCA, is 480
FS (~280 ECUs). Students with certificate of status pay 250 FS (~140
ECUs). These rates apply before January 15, 1994. Late registration will
be charged an additional 90 FS (~ 50 ECUs). You can apply for grants
from the EEC HCM and PECO programs to attend ESCA conferences and
workshops. If you are interested and /or concerned, please contact: ESCA,

implementation and use of expert systems in all application domains;
detailed information on systems in unusual or difficult domains or
systems with unusual technical features.
- Neural networks: network architectures; knowledge processing; vision;
self organizing systems; optical neurocomputing; cooperative and
competitive neural networks dynamics; speed recognition and synthesis;
neurobiological connections; learning algorithms; robotics; adaptive
resonance; combinatorial optimisation; cognitive science connections;

APPROACH OF THE SYMPOSIUM
The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics is
the third of a biennial series featuring applications of mathematics in
artificial intelligence as well as artificial intelligence techniques and
results in mathematics. There has always been a strong relationship
between the two disciplines; however, the contact between practitioners
of each has been limited, partly by the lack of a forum in which the
relationship could grow and flourish. This symposium represents a step
towards improving contacts and promoting cross-fertilization between the
two areas. The editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics and
Artificial Intelligence serves as the permanent organizing committee for
the series of Symposia.
