Welcome
Speech and Audio processing is both a scientific discipline as well as a technology frontier with immense applications;
as a scientific discipline it has a long history and as a technology area it is intensely explored both
by industry and academia. On one side of the spectrum are the speech and language sciences,
such as linguistics, phonetics, psycho-acoustics, and on the other side are signal processing theory,
pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, etc., leading to enhanced human-human and human-machine
communication systems, such as speech and audio coding, automatic speech recognition and understanding,
speaker and language recognition, speech enhancement, multi-media systems etc. Such a wide ranging
research and development pursuit demands a broad base of fundamental knowledge as well as clever
algorithms and techniques to be mastered.
This series of Winter Schools in Speech Audio Processing (WiSSAP) is aimed towards providing a regular
forum for research students, faculty and R&D engineers working in these areas to enhance their background
and appreciate the nuances of frontier knowledge. WiSSAP-08 is the third one in the series, following a
very successful
WiSSAP-06 and
WiSSAP-07. The focus of WiSSAP-08 is on Speech Synthesis.
