*********************************************************************
AIMS:
SLSP is the first event
in a series to host and promote research on the wide spectrum of statistical
methods that are currently in use in computational language or speech
processing. It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there
exist large, well-known conferences including papers in any of these fields, SLSP
is a more focused meeting where synergies between areas and people will
hopefully happen. SLSP will reserve significant space for young scholars at the
beginning of their careers.
VENUE:
SLSP 2013 will take
place in

for natural language processing
- supervised,
unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning methods applied to natural
language, including speech
- statistical methods,
including biologically-inspired methods
- similarity
