Full Description
The two-volume proceedings set LNAI 14338 and 14339 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Speech and Computer, SPECOM 2023, held in Dharwad, India, during November 29-December 2, 2023.
The 94 papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 174 submissions. They focus on all aspects of speech science and technology: automatic speech recognition; computational paralinguistics; digital signal processing; speech prosody; natural language processing; child speech processing; speech processing for medicine; industrial speech and language technology; speech technology for under-resourced languages; speech analysis and synthesis; speaker and language identification, verification and diarization.
