Special events. Besides the standard conference presentation of
papers, the Organizers are open to various kinds of initiatives (expos,
demos, satellite workshops, panels, awards). A program of special
events is now under construction. You are welcome to contact us with
your suggestions.
Until now the following LTC affiliated workshop have been pre-announced:

Prosody Tools Workshop (PTW 2019)

The objective of the workshop is to present and discuss tools for the analysis of speech prosody The workshop is intended in some ways to be a followup event from the Aix-en-Provence TRASP 2013 workshop (http://www.lpl-aix.fr/~trasp/). The tools may be new developments or established tools, and they may be highly specialised for specific types of analysis, or of general interest. The focus will be on tools that are freely available and easily accessible for all interested researchers, and in some cases open source, including both online and offline tools. The workshop presentations will take the form of software demonstrations and discussions of the motivation for the software, or case studies featuring results obtained with the software. The organisers hope for a free exchange of ideas, with the aim of increasing awareness of available free software, and with the medium and long term aim of adding to the range of open source tools in international repositories.
We invite submissions on tools supporting prosodic investigation at all stages of speech data collection, processing, analysis, interpretation and practical uses (e.g. for the needs of psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, speech therapy, speech technology, teaching practice). Consequently, the workshop contributions can for example (but not exclusively) provide reports on tools for:
• examining the production and perception of prosody;
• approaches to speech rhythm and timing analysis;
• approaches to speech tone, pitch accent and intonation analysis;
• study of individual prosodic variation;
• speech prosody studies from the perspective of:
- phonetic-acoustic phenomena;
- articulatory processes;
- perception-based studies;
• speech annotation and annotation mining;
• automatizing the procedures in prosodic analysis;
• advantages and disadvantages of different pitch trackers
• issues in interoperability, re-usability, and collaborative development of the tools for prosody.
Submission
Submissions should include a description of the tool, with specifications of use cases, types of data handled, the user interface, input and output, and the methods provided by the tool. If possible, a link for accessing the tool should be provided.
Submission details soon
