    Workshop: Speech and Language Technology for Vehicles

    Workshop of the GLDV AK Hypermedia held in conjunction with the
    Biennial Conference of the Society of Computational Linguistics
    and Language Technology (GLDV) 2005

    31 March 2005, University of Bonn, Germany

    =====================================================================
            

    While developing and deploying information and communication systems for
    vehicles it is essential to take care of following issues
    a) the user has limited possibilities to interact with such systems
    concerning system control
    b) the user does not draw his primary attention on system interaction
    due to the fact of controlling his vehicle
    c) the interaction with systems in vehicles is heavily distorted by
    acoustical and optical signal noise

    Due to these circumstances it is necessary to develop and deploy
    information and communictaion systems which are integrated as multi
    modal systems
    where speech and language technology is the main interface in
    human-machine communication.
    There is a big challenge to such natural interaction systems according
    the signal noise and for this reason such a system
    has to be exceeding in roboustness.

    The aim of the workshop is to discuss current research activities and
    running applications of concerning speech and language technology
    in the vehicle domain. The workshop should provide an overview of
    research and applied systems.

    The workshop has two parts: a speaker session and a poster session. The
    workshop language is German as well as English.
