Hurry - registration closes on Friday 27 May! There will be no on-site registration.

Our second annual conference will be held in June 2022 and, for the first time, will be in person. The conference will be hosted in the Faculty of Engineering's flagship Diamond building.

It will bring together researchers and practitioners from a range of areas with interests in computational processing of speech signals and written language.

The conference will showcase the research being undertaken by our CDT’s PhD students as well as those in the Department of Computer Science's long-established Speech and Hearing (SpandH) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) research groups.

These research groups constitute one of the largest groupings of SLT researchers in the UK with world leading research publications and impact.

The conference will have:

• keynote talks from leading international academics and industrial practitioners

• talks and posters from our students describing their PhD research

• presentations showcasing the work our students have undertaken as part of the CDT’s unique four-year training programme (including their exciting work for national charity Legasee)

• a panel discussion covering technical and ethical topics.

Conference registration fees cover access to all sessions (oral and poster), coffee breaks (morning and afternoon), buffet lunch on both days, as well as refreshments during the poster session.
