**********************************************************************************

7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON STATISTICAL LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING

SLSP 2019

Ljubljana, Slovenia

October 14-16, 2019

Co-organized by:

Jožef Stefan Institute

Institute for Research Development, Training and Advice (IRDTA), Brussels/London

**********************************************************************************

AIMS:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between the two domains will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2019, significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on methodology.

VENUE:

SLSP 2019 will take place in Ljubljana, a charming city full of art and one of the smallest capital cities in Europe. The venue will be:

Jožef Stefan Institute

Jamova cesta 39

1000 Ljubljana

Slovenia
