ODYSSEY 2010 - ODYSSEY 2010 The Speaker and Language Recognition Workshop

Odyssey 2010: The Speaker and Language Recognition Workshop will be hosted by Brno University of Technology in Brno, Czech Republic. Odyssey’10 is an ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop held in cooperation with the ISCA Speaker and Language Characterization SIG. The need for fast, efficient, accurate, and robust means of recognizing people and languages is of growing importance for commercial, forensic, and government applications. The aim of this workshop is to continue to foster interactions among researchers in speaker and language recognition as the successor of previous successful events held in Martigny (1994), Avignon (1998), Crete (2001), Toledo (2004), San Juan (2006) and Stellenbosch (2008).

Topics
Topics of interest include speaker and language recognition (verification, identification, segmentation, and clustering): text-dependent and -independent speaker recognition; multispeaker training and detection; speaker characterization and adaptation; features for speaker recognition; robustness in channels; robust classification and fusion; speaker recognition corpora and evaluation; use of extended training data; speaker recognition with speech recognition; forensics, multimodality, and multimedia speaker recognition; speaker and language confidence estimation; language, dialect, and accent recognition; speaker synthesis and transformation; biometrics; human recognition of speaker and language; and commercial applications.
