One-day workshop
Aalborg, Denmark, Sunday September 2nd 2001
(directly before Eurospeech-2001)
CRAC is concerned with finding and exploiting reliable information in
complex and distorted acoustic mixtures. The workshop aims to strengthen
connections between research in robust speech recognition and recent techniques
for separating information in acoustic mixtures.
The workshop will be a satellite event at Eurospeech, which is to be
held in Aalborg, Denmark, in September 2001 (although workshop participation
will be possible without registration at Eurospeech). The workshop is being
organized as part of the European Union project RESPITE
(Recognition of Speech by Partial Information Techniques, which is concerned
with approaches to handling speech in realistic noise conditions where corrupt
time-frequency data must be discounted).
We invite original submissions on the following topics:
- Identifying sources and extracting information in realistic acoustic
environments, including:
- Auditory modelling
- Computational auditory scene analysis
- Blind source separation
- SNR estimation
- Confidence measures
- Robust speech recognition strategies, including:
- Missing data techniques
- Noise modeling and compensation
- Multi-stream recognition
- Applications to nonspeech acoustic sources such as musical instrument
segregation and identification
- Psychoacoustics of corrupt and noisy speech and audio perception
- Combinations of any of the above, such as robust speech recognition
based on computational auditory scene analysis
Submissions will be reviewed on the basis of an extended abstract of
about 500 words. Breadth and balance of topics covered will be a factor
in selecting papers. A mini proceedings available via the internet and
perhaps on CD-ROM will be produced for the
workshop, consisting of 4-page papers in SP conference two-column format.
We anticipate editing a special issue of a journal after the workshop, composed
of extended versions of some of the papers.
The workshop structure will consist of lecture and poster sessions, and
conclude with an 'open forum' to permit the most flexible interchange of
information and ideas. Workshop attendance will be limited to around 40
participants.

This is a paragraph of dummy text whose purpose is to see if that by adding a line of text long enough to span more than the entire window we can in fact persuade the table rendering algorithms to respect the width=pixels specification of the leftmost column as an absolute maximum, rather than stretching it when the rightmost column is thinner.
