The 11th international conference on Auditory-Visual Speech Processing (AVSP) will be held from August 31 to September 3, 2011, directly following the INTERSPEECH2011 conference.

AVSP is a uniquely interdisciplinary conference, being focused on synergy effects of auditory and visual speech information on human perception, machine recognition, and human-machine interaction. AVSP conferences have attracted a lot of researchers in various fields, such as psychologists, computer engineers, neuroscientists, linguists, phoneticians, and robot engineers.

The AVSP2011 conference will consist of oral and poster presentations, a demo session and lectures by invited speakers (announced later).

Submission of papers or demo proposals are invited in any areas of auditory-visual speech processing including but not limited to:

• Audio-visual speech synthesis
• Audio-visual speech recognition by humans and machines
• Models of multimodal integration
• Multimodal processing of spoken events
• Cross-linguistic studies of audio-visual speech processing
• Developmental studies of audio-visual speech processing
• Role of gestures accompanying speech
• Audio-visual prosody
• Modeling, animation and recognition of gestures and expressions
• Neurophysiology and neuropsychology of audition and vision
• Scene analysis using audio and visual information
• Novel techniques for animation of talking faces
• Data collection and corpora for audio-visual speech processing
