Habernal I., Matoušek V. (eds.) Text, Speech and Dialogue

Springer, 2011. — 461 p.14th International Conference, TSD 2011, Pilsen, Czech Republic, September 1-5, 2011 Proceedings.
TSD 2011 was the 14th event in the series of International Conferences on Text, Speech and Dialogue supported by the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA) and the Czech Society for Cybernetics and Informatics (ˇCSKI). This year, TSD was held in Plzeˇn (Pilsen), in the new Conference Center of the Vienna International Hotel Angelo, during September 1–5, 2011 and it was organized by the University of West Bohemia in Plzeˇn in cooperation with Masaryk University of Brno, Czech Republic. Like its predecessors, TSD 2011 highlighted to both the academic and scientific world the importance of text and speech processing and its most recent breakthroughs in current applications. Both experienced researchers and professionals as well as newcomers to the text and speech processing field, interested in designing or evaluating interactive software, developing new interaction technologies, or investigating overarching theories of text and speech processing, found in the TSD conference a forum to communicate with people sharing similar interests. The conference is an interdisciplinary forum, intertwining research in speech and language processing with its applications in everyday practice. We feel that the mixture of different approaches and applications offered a great opportunity to get acquainted with current activities in all aspects of language communication and to witness the amazing vitality of researchers from developing countries too.Invited Talks
