Call for Contributors for the Loebner Competition and Public Exhibition
A series of events is being organised around the Interspeech2009 theme of 'Speech and Intelligence'. For example, on 6th September 2009 we will be hosting
the annual contest for the Loebner Prize.
In parallel with the Loebner event, we are planning to mount (for the very
first time) a speech-based version of the competition.
Also, in order to raise awareness of speech science and technology in the
general public, we are putting together an exhibition of speech-related
demonstrations/displays. We envisage that these will provide hands-on
interaction with our current technologies, and will serve to promote our
field to the wider population.
If you are interested in entering a system for a speech-based version of the
Loebner competition, or interested in providing an exhibit for a public
display, then please contact Simon Worgan (simon.worgan@gmail.com) who will
contact you with further information.
