Some presenters have agreed to share their slides and posters. We thank you for this! These slides and posters can be downloaded by right-clicking on the link to [slides] or [poster] following the title.
Thank you to all who presented and attended for making this a great workshop!
This workshop will comprise three themed panels. The first third of each panel will consist of oral presentations. The second third of each panel will consist of poster presentations. The third section will be an extended open room discussion period, which provides an opportunity for detailed discussion of the presented research and of broader methodological and theoretical issues in the study of speaker adaptation. The provisionary program is listed below.
Saturday, 6th April
8:20 am
Registration and Breakfast
8:50 am
Welcome
Session 1: Representations and Cognitive Architecture
Round Room
Chair: Micha Elsner
How are linguistic categories adapted/recalibrated as the result of experience with speech variability? And what does this adaptation tell us about the levels and types of representations that exist in the speech processing architecture?
9:00 am

Perceptual and cognitive constraints on vowel-space adaptation
9:35 am
Keith Johnson (University of California - Berkeley)
Factors that affect phonetic adaptation: exemplar filters and sound change
