VLSP 2019 – Call for Participation

The Sixth International Workshop on Vietnamese Language and Speech Processing (VLSP 2019)

In conjunction with the international conference PACLING 2019

Workshop objectives

The goal of this workshop series is to attempt a synthesis of research in Vietnamese language and speech processing and to bring together researchers and professionals working in this domain. Since the VLSP 2016 edition, VLSP workshops are composed of two parts: one part focused on VLSP software demonstration with technical reports, the other dedicated to an evaluation campaign on different tasks of text and speech processing. As is traditional, one panel will be organized for the VLSP community to exchange and discuss.

Software demonstration

All applications dealing with Vietnamese text processing or speech processing are welcome. Each demo system should be provided with a technical report.

Evaluation campaign

The evaluation campaign deals with shared tasks for text and speech processing.

Text processing:

• Vietnamese dependency parsing
• (to be announced)

Speech processing:

• Automatic Speech Recognition
• Text to Speech

VLSP shared tasks aim at promoting the most efficient methods for these important tools. The organization of these campaigns with sponsor from academia and industry permit to build and offer to the VLSP community gold datasets for training and testing Vietnamese text and speech processing systems.

The participants to the evaluation campaign will be asked to present their system in a dedicated short paper.

More detailed information will be soon available.
