ITG Conference on Speech Communication
24.-26. September 2025 | Berlin
Scope
The 16th ITG Conference on Speech Communication will explore the theme of Speech Communication in the Age of Foundation Models. We hope that you will find this an area of pertinent debates and great innovation potential. We are, however, soliciting contributions on all areas of theory, algorithms and applications related to speech, audio, and spoken language processing, comprising especially:
- Foundation Models for Speech Processing
- Speech Enhancement and Separation
- Source Localization and Tracking
- Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events
- Automatic Speech and Speaker Recognition
- Spoken Dialogue, Diarization, and Spoken Document Retrieval Systems
- Speech Synthesis
- Speech Modeling, Coding, and Transmission
- LLMs & Speech Interaction
- Privacy in Speech Technologies
- Speech Production and Perception
- Speech Quality and Intelligibility Assessment
- Paralinguistics, Speech Diagnostics, and Speech‐related Biosignals
- Speech in Automotive, Mobile, and Multimodal Applications
- Acoustic Interfaces, Assistive Devices, and Hearing Aids
- Hardware and Software Tools
- Emerging Topics and Applications
- Self-supervised learning (SSL) from foundation models
