Review Process for ICASSP 2005
The Speech Technical Committee (STC) received 572 papers for ICASSP 2005. This represents nearly a 9% increase from ICASSP 2004 and ICASSP 2003. About 51% of the papers were rejected. A rigorous review process was implemented in which each paper was essentially reviewed by at least 3 people; one being STC member and 2 external reviewers. The review process included 150 external reviewers and 46 STC members; 9 of the STC members acted as Area Chairs, working closely with the STC team members to integrate the final scores, define accept/reject, form technical sessions and identify session chairs. Here are lists of those who contributed the reviewing process:
For ICASSP 2005,
the STC adopted a new speech EDICS classification of topics in order
for ICASSP to align with recent advancements in speech and language
processing research. As a result of this change, we experienced nearly
50% increase in speaker recognition papers, nearly 50% increase in
spoken language technology papers and a modest 5% of new submissions
in the areas of speech data mining and multimodal/multimedia
Human/Computer interfaces. Detailed statistics of the paper
submission is shown in the Table below.
The STC has been successful in attracting two very strong special
sessions on Human Language Technology that will be organized by M. Ostendorf,
E. Shriberg and A. Stolke. We have also been successful in hosting a unique
tutorial on "Machine Learning for Speech and Language processing" that will be
given by J. Bilmes and
P. Haffner.
