3. Young Female Researchers in Speech Workshop (YFRSW)
Date: August 31, 2024
Time: 9:00 – 17:00
Location: Kos Island, Greece
Description: YFRSW is a workshop for female* Bachelor’s and Master’s students currently working in speech science and technology. The workshop aims to promote interest in research in our field among women* who have not yet committed to pursuing a PhD in speech science or technology, but who have already gained research experience at their universities through individual or group projects.
*The workshop is open for marginalized genders, including women, as well as non-binary and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a space that is centered on women’s experiences in the speech science and technology community. We aim to offer an inclusive and accessible program. If you are unsure if this workshop is for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

4. 3rd COG-MHEAR Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement Challenge (AVSEC-3)
Date: September 1, 2024
Time: Half-Day Afternoon Workshop
Description: The Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement Challenge (AVSEC) brings together researchers from interdisciplinary fields working on audio-visual speech technologies and hearing research. Building upon the two previous successful editions of the challenge, we expect AVSEC-3 to continue advancing audio-visual speech technologies.
The workshop encompasses a set of oral and poster presentations where participants can actively discuss their ongoing research and present their systems. Invited keynotes will provide a space to reflect on the scope and limitations of current speech and hearing technologies. Furthermore, results of the third edition of the challenge will be announced during the workshop.

5. 4th SPSC Symposium
Date: September 6, 2024
Time: 9:00 – 17:00
Description: The fourth edition of the Symposium on Security & Privacy in Speech Communication (SPSC) focuses on speech and voice through which we express ourselves. As speech communication can be used to command virtual assistants to transport emotion or to identify oneself, the symposium encourages participants to give answers on how we can strengthen security and privacy for speech representation types in user-centric human/machine interaction. The VoicePrivacy initiative is spearheading the effort to develop privacy preservation solutions for speech technology. It aims to consolidate the newly formed community to develop the task and metrics and to benchmark progress in anonymization solutions using common datasets, protocols, and metrics. This edition focuses on preserving the emotional state, which is the key paralinguistic attribute in many real-world applications of voice anonymization. All the participants are encouraged to submit to the SPSC Symposium papers related to their challenge entry, as well as other scientific papers related to speaker anonymization and voice privacy. For the general SPSC Symposium, we welcome contributions to related topics, as well as progress reports, project dissemination, or theoretical discussions and “work in progress”. In addition, guests from academia, industry and public institutions as well as interested students are welcome to attend the workshop without having to make their own contribution.

6. Vocal Interactivity in-and-between Humans, Animals and Robots, VIHAR 2024
Date: September 6, 2024
Time: 9:00 – 12:30 or 09:00 – 18:00
Description: Taking place in Kos, Greece on 6 September 2024, VIHAR-2024 aims to bring together researchers studying vocalization and speech-based interaction in-and-between humans, animals and robots from a variety of different fields. VIHAR-2024 will provide an opportunity to share and discuss theoretical insights, best practices, tools and methodologies, and to identify common principles underpinning vocal behavior in a multi-disciplinary environment.

7. 7th International Workshop on Speech, Music and Mind 2024 (SMM24)
(Detecting and Influencing Mental States with Audio)
Date: September 9, 2024
Time: TBC, Virtual
Description: After six successful editions of SMM (SMM18 to SMM23) we are pleased to announce the 7th Edition of the International Workshop on Speech, Music and Mind 2024 (SMM24): Detecting and Influencing Mental States with Audio.
This one-day, satellite workshop of Interspeech 2024 will bring together, from both academia and industry, communities interested in understanding the interplay between the mind and sound/music/speech. The focus of this workshop is to further the state of the art in detecting and influencing mental states with audio. Applications to diverse contexts, with emphasis on multi-modal approaches with diverse applications across culture, languages and music genres, are of special interest.
The workshop will be held as a virtual event on (Monday) 09th September 2024, a few days after Interspeech 2024 commences. Details of the virtual event platform and registration (free, but necessary) will be announced a fortnight before the workshop date. We invite you to submit relevant contributions to the workshop before the deadlines.

8. ASVspoof workshop
Date: August 31, 2024
Time: Half-day workshop
Description: The automatic speaker verification spoofing and countermeasures (ASVspoof) challenge series is a community-led initiative that aims to promote the consideration of spoofing and speech deepfakes in addition to the development of countermeasures. ASVspoof5 is the fifth edition in a series of previously biennial, competitive challenges. The common goal of each edition is to foster progress in the development of countermeasures, also referred to as spoofing detection and presentation attack detection (PAD) solutions which are capable of discriminating between bona fide and spoofed or deepfake speech utterances. The key technologies that can be used to generate spoofed or deepfake speech, e.g. speech synthesis and voice conversion, continue to evolve, with tremendous advances having been made in the last few years. Progress in spoofing/deepfake detection must keep pace. The ASVspoof5 Workshop at Interspeech 2024 serves as a good venue for technical discussion, analysis, and summary of the challenge.
