Aims & Scope

Computer Speech & Language publishes reports of original research related to the recognition, understanding, production, coding and mining of speech and language. The speech and language sciences have a long history, but it is only relatively recently that large-scale implementation of and experimentation with complex models of speech and language processing has become feasible. Such research is often carried out somewhat separately by practitioners of artificial intelligence, computer science, electronic engineering, information retrieval, linguistics, phonetics, or psychology.
