Abstract :
The IEEE Audio and Electroacoustics Group and the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories will cosponsor the 1967 Conference on Speech Communication and Processing to be held in Boston, MA, USA, November 13-15, 1967. Technical topics will include speech production and perception, analysis and synthesis, bandwidth compression methods, the evaluation of intelligibility and quality of speech compression devices, automatic recognition of spoken messages and of talker identity, and computer methods and digital techniques for speech processing. Special emphasis will be given to recent developments such as real-time spectral and "cepstral" analysis methods, high-performance and low-redundancy vocoders, electromyography, and application of syntactic structure to speech recognition. Facilities for the Conference will permit a maximum of 300 attendees, and early registration is advised.
