Welcome to SPELLL 2023

ABOUT

The second edition of the International conference on Speech & Language Technology for Low-resource Languages (SPELLL) will be held at Kongu Engineering College,TAMIL NADU, INDIA during December 06-08, 2023. The main focus of the conference is the creation and maintaining speech and language data and technologies for the low-resourced languages to use in industry as well as use cases in humanities and social sciences.

The development of technology increases our internet use and most of the global languages have adapted themselves to the digital era. There are nearly 7000+ languages in the world. However, there are many regional low resource languages that face challenges as they still lack developments in language technology. Speech and Language Technology for Low-resource Languages (SPELLL) aims at bringing together researchers from across the world working on low-resourced and minority languages to create more speech and language technology for languages of the world. We need to create data in the form of speech and language technology so the languages do not go extinct so that we can save the cultural extinctions. Language data is of increasing importance to advanced artificial intelligence approaches for speech and language technologies.

The broader objective of SPELLL-2023 will be

• To investigate challenges related to speech and language resource creation for low-resources languages.
• To promote research in speech and language technology in low-resource languages.
• To adopt appropriate language technology models which suit low-resources languages.
• To provide opportunities for researchers from the low-resource language community from around the world to collaborate with other researchers.
