See you in the Netherlands 💺

[Bence Halpern @BenceHalpern]

I'm wondering is there anyone who reads papers (IEEE-style) on 100% magnification or less (excluding people who print out)? Even with my glasses on, I find 130% much more comfortable to read.

[Bence Halpern @BenceHalpern]

@unilightwf At the time of the publication it should definitely be runnable, especially if it’s stated as a contribution. Otherwise, papers with good open source code get cited more, so it’s not like this is not unpenalised but the current system.

Check out the article @tejarebernik and I wrote on why kinematic speech measures are so important when studying those with motor speech disorders! Available in Dutch and English below ⬇️

I feel there is an uncanny valley where a paper is just intimidating enough to say “it looks novel” but actually it is just very poor writing. I’ve been asked to revise such papers and I’m so torn because I feel making it better might just reduce the chance of acceptance 😅

Dear speech researchers,

ICASSP'25 is looking for a reviewer in the speech and language areas.
Please nominate yourself via https://t.co/KjAd5EAbUy!

Note that this form is only for the speech and language areas.

[IEEE ICASSP @ieeeICASSP]

We need your help to make ICASSP 2025 a success! If you have previously been a reviewer & have not received an invite (check spam), please contact the TPC chairs: [email protected]

We apologize for any confusion caused by the multiple email invites due to a portal error.

[Bence Halpern @BenceHalpern]

I ended up with using ResearchRabbit and tagging negative papers in the search so I don’t look at things twice. Not an ideal solution but allowed me to go lot more deeply with my review that I usually can.

[Bence Halpern @BenceHalpern]

Speech tech/linguistics people! What is a comprehensive literature review tool that you have positive experience with? 😅 Haven’t found anything that has all the features that I want 😕

[Piotr Żelasko @PiotrZelasko]

To my academic colleagues and network: @nvidia offers an Academic Grant program with up to 32,000 A100 hours for research projects in Generative AI and LLM, as well as simulation, physics, fluid dynamics and quantum computing.

The deadline for the current round of applications is at end of Q3 (September), and the next round starts in Q4.

@OxfordWave @Cambridge_Uni @Selwyn1882 @CamPhonLab Congratulations! 🎉 Can’t wait to read the final thesis 👀

[Bence Halpern @BenceHalpern]

Many inspiring works during Interspeech so I rly want to write a pathological TTS/VC paper again but the evaluation of it and answering to the reviewers' (completely justifiable) comments of why this task is different in all aspect compared to a typical TTS/VC task is pure hell.
