************************************************************************** TSD 2021 - CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND DEMONSTRATIONS **************************************************************************
The twenty-fourth International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue (TSD 2021) Olomouc, Czech Republic, September 06-09, 2021 http://www.tsdconference.org
INTRODUCTION
The TSD 2021 Organizing Committee invites you to submit proposals for workshops and demonstrations using forms given below. The TSD 2021 conference will be accompanied by one-day satellite workshops and demonstrations on topics related to the general theme of the conference with organizational support from the TSD organizing committee.
WORKSHOPS
The role of workshops is to provide a setting for focused, intensive scientific exchange among researchers and engineers interested in a specific topic. As such, workshops are the primary venues for the exploration of emerging ideas as well as for the discussion of novel aspects of established research topics. Recommended workshop length is half day or full day.
DEMONSTRATIONS The role of demonstrations is to provide an extensive amplification of papers presented at the TSD or stand-alone demonstrations of software or hardware. Demonstrations offer an opportunity to showcase not only a novel technology (software & hardware) but also interactive applications of learning algorithms, dialog and conversational AIs, learning from demonstration, real-time visualization of learning models etc. Interaction with the audience during the demonstration is a critical element. Therefore, the creativity of demonstrators to propose new ways in which interaction and engagement can fully leverage this year's conference will be particularly relevant for the selection. Recommended length of a demonstration is 15 minutes up to an hour.
TOPICS The TSD organizing committee requires proposals for workshops and demonstrations on research topics of interest to TSD 2021 attendees. For more information regarding the conference topics please visit the conference website here.
FORMAT
The workshops and demonstrations will take place in physical and/or virtual form, depending on the situation with COVID-19. We do hope to be able to have a physical conference. Nevertheless, we can confirm that, in any scenario, TSD 2021 will provide the opportunity to participate virtually and with a reduced registration pricing that factors out local costs (e.g. coffee breaks, lunches, social events). This applies also for workshops and demonstrations.
