[barryj21]

We are pleased to announce the call for paper for AVSP 2009. Details
are below.

Dates: 10-13 September 2009
Location: University of East Anglia, Norwich, Norfolk, UK
Website: http://www.avsp2009.co.uk

The eighth International Conference on Auditory-Visual Speech
Processing (AVSP) 2009 will be held at the University of East Anglia,
Norwich, UK. As with previous meetings, AVSP will run as a satellite
conference to Interspeech (2009), which will be held in Brighton, UK.
The conference is also convenient for those delegates attending BMVC
2009 in London. For those wishing to combine attendance at AVSP and
Interspeech, we expect to organise transport between Brighton and
Norwich.

Since the inception of AVSP in Bonas in 1995, AVSP workshops have
attracted an interdisciplinary audience of psychologists, engineers,
scientists and linguists. This conference will consist of a mixture of
regular presentations (both posters and oral), and lectures by invited
speakers.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- Machine recognition of audiovisual speech
- Human and machine models of integration
- Multimodal processing of spoken events
- Cross-linguistic studies
- Developmental studies
- Role of gestures accompanying speech
- Modelling, synthesis and recognition of facial gestures
- Speech synthesis
- Prosody
- Neurophysiology and neuro-psychology of audition and vision
- Scene analysis
