Workshop on Current Issues and Methods in Speaker Adaptation (CIMSA)

Computational tree.
Sat, April 6 - Sun, April 7, 2013

Listeners show remarkable plasticity in understanding spoken language, despite the lack of invariance problem, and familiarity with particular talkers or accents is known to improve comprehension. Speaker adaptation refers broadly to such familiarity effects, including the perceptual adjustments, architectural changes, and processing benefits that result from experience with particular linguistic variation.


This workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse perspectives---including phonetics, (laboratory) phonology, psycholinguistics, speech science, brain and cognitive science, computational linguistics, and sociolinguistics---to pursue a holistic understanding of speaker adaptation.
