Odyssey: The Speaker and Language Recognition Workshop
The Odyssey 2018 Workshop will be hosted by the Universities of Le Mans and Avignon in Les Sables d’Olonne, France, on 26–29 June 2018. Odyssey 2018 is a Tutorial and Research Workshop held in cooperation with the ISCA Speaker and Language Characterization SIG. The need for fast, efficient, accurate, and robust means of recognizing people and languages is of growing importance for commercial, forensic, and government applications. The aim of this workshop is to continue to foster interactions among researchers in speaker and language recognition as the successor of the previous 10 successful events held in Martigny (1994), Avignon (1998), Crete (2001), Toledo (2004), San Juan (2006), Stellenbosch (2008), Brno (2010), Singapore (2012), Joensuu (2014), and Bilbao (2016).
