    The 5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour Sydney

    30th November - 4th December 1998

    This conference is hosted by the Australian Speech Science & Technology Association (ASSTA) Incorporated, and will incorporate the 7th Speech Science & Technology Conference (SST 98). It will aim to continue the technical tradition of the ICSLP conferences which have been held in Kobe (1990), Banff (1992), Yokohama (1994), and Philadelphia (1996) with particular emphasis on the bridging of the composite disciplines that contribute to our understanding of spoken language and the way that it is processed by humans and machines.

    ASSTA invites all professionals interested in spoken language processing to Australia to the conference. An exciting technical programme is planned, and a not to be forgotten social programme. We aim to provide technical challenge and debate as well as generating a friendly learning experience. As information becomes available it will be promoted on the ICSLP 98 WWW. If you wish to be kept informed of the progress of the conference please register your interest via the WWW page or by enquiry to the Secretariat.

    The Convention Centre is located in a complex of restaurants and shops on an expansive pedestrian peninsula at the waterfront of the celebrated Sydney Harbour and only a few minutes walk, ferry ride or monorail ride from the city centre.

    Australia will be in early summer in December and the weather should be fine and warm. Check the WWW pages for the tourism section for things to see and do.
