# Topic

MLSLP is a recurring workshop, often joint with machine learning or
speech/natural language processing conferences. Prior workshops were
held in 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2018. While research in speech and
language processing has always involved machine learning, current
research is benefiting from even closer interaction between these
fields. Speech and language processing is continually mining new ideas
from ML and ML, in turn, is devoting more interest to speech and
language applications.

This workshop aims to be a venue for identifying and incubating the next
waves of research directions for interaction and collaboration. The
workshop will not be yet another venue for applications of deep learning
to speech and language processing, as this is already well covered by
major conferences. It will, however, include new directions for deep
learning in speech/language, as well as other emerging ideas. In
general, the workshop will (1) discuss the emerging research ideas with
potential for impact in speech/language and (2) bring together relevant
researchers from ML and speech/language who may not regularly interact
at conferences.

MLSLP is a workshop of SIGML, the Special Interest Group on machine
learning in speech and language processing of ISCA (the International
Speech Communication Association).
