| "text": "On behalf of the organization committee and program committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Nangang Exhibition Center, Taipei, Taiwan, for the 29th Conference on Computational Linguistics and Speech Processing (ROCLING), the flagship conference on computational linguistics, natural language processing, and speech processing in Taiwan. ROCLING is the annual conference of the Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing (ACLCLP) which is held in autumn in different cities and universities in Taiwan. This year, we received 38 valid submissions, each of which was reviewed by at least three experts on the basis of originality, significance, technical soundness, and relevance to the conference. In total, we have 19 oral papers and 13 poster papers, which cover the areas including spoken language processing and speech recognition, text-to-speech, natural language processing, speech emotion recognition, information extraction, and question answering. We are grateful to the contribution of the reviewers for their extraordinary efforts and valuable comments.", |

Best wishes a successful and fruitful ROCLING 2017 in Taipei. Prof. Lee has participated actively in professional societies. He is a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS), Communication Society, and the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA). In 1991-1995, he was an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing. During the same period, he served as a member of the ARPA Spoken Language Coordination Committee. In 1995-1998 he was a member of the Speech Processing Technical Committee and later became the chairman from 1997 to 1998. In 1996, he helped promote the SPS Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee in which he is a founding member.", |

| "text": "Teaching machines to speak and listen to human languages has always been a fascination for scientists and engineers in modern history. Although such a dream is not easily realized, it is very common to visualize machines, computers and droids to do so in science fictions. Some of such wonders include HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and R2-D2 and C-3PO in Star Wars. In the real world, speaking machines were first demonstrated by Homer Dudley of Bell Laboratories in 1939 World Fair in New York and the synthesized voice was radio-broadcasted to the US west coast. The technology has come a long way that we can now design machines to speak multiple languages fluently on various topics. On the other hand primitive listening machines were first developed at Bell Labs in the 1940s to recognize English digits. Nowadays we have seen many automated services and products that take human voice as inputs. The interactions between speech and production, hearing, language and acoustics were also studied a great deal around the same time, which later set the foundations for modernday speech applications, such as speech coding and automatic recognition of speech, speaker and language. In the last thirty years of the 20th Century we witnessed a fast development of signal processing, speech modeling and digital hardware technologies which led to a global deployment of wireless speech communication and a widespread installations of speech recognition and synthesis products and services. More recently, a resurging of deep neural networks had started a new wave to speech technology advancements. Although the vision of developing machines to listen and talk had given speech researchers and engineers an amazing technology journey so far, we are also observing plenty of limitations that hinder the ubiquitous deployment of many speech applications to benefit the human society. Today we have now reached a new position that speech, language and acoustics research are being integrated into the emerging investment in artificial intelligence by internet companies and government agencies.", |
