The workshop, bringing together people working in the areas of phonetics, linguistics, forensic speech science and automatic speaker recognition,  will provide a forum for discussing how linguistic, indexical and paralinguistic information are encoded in the speech signal and how these information are processed by human listeners and machines.

Dominic Watt and James Tompkinson from the University of York are the guest speakers and they will respectively give presentations on «The implications of vocal impersonation as a form of identity theft» and «Challenges in the elicitation of meaningful vocal information from linguistically untrained listeners». Presentations from Volker Dellwo and other members of the UZH Phonetics Lab as well as from Petr Motlicek of IDIAP are confirmed.

In order to have a good idea of the number of participants, we would be very grateful if you could confirm your attendance by October 31

Time: November 3, 2017 (Friday),   10:00AM  –  ca. 4:00PM

Venue: University of Zurich (Room KOL-E-13, Rämistrasse 71, 8006, Zürich)
