The Speaker and Language Recognition Workshop |
28 - 30 June 2006 Ritz Carlton Hotel San Juan, Puerto Rico |
Welcome to IEEE Odyssey 2006 Workshop on Speaker and Language Recognition held in scenic San Juan, Puerto Rico at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
The aim of this workshop is to continue to foster interactions among researchers in speaker and language recognition as the successor of previous workshops that have been steadily growing in attendance and significance:
This year marks the first Odyssey that is sponsored by the IEEE. We continue our heritage as a Tutorial and Research Workshop of the ISCA Speaker and Language Characterization SIG. The research hosted by this conference addresses the need for fast, efficient, accurate, and robust means of recognizing people and languages and is of growing importance for commercial, forensic, and government applications.
We are pleased to coordinate with the annual National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Speaker Recognition Evaluation Workshop. NIST SRE’06 was held immediately prior to Odyssey in the same facilities. This coordination reinforces the workshops and provides a simulating week for participants of both.
Host of this year's Odyssey is the Caribbean Artificial Intelligence Group presently housed by The Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico.
We are glad to see you here in the Caribbean in 2006.
