The Young Researchers' Roundtable on Spoken
Dialog Systems is an annual
workshop designed for students, post docs, and junior researchers
working in research related to spoken dialogue systems in both academia
and industry. The roundtable provides an open forum where participants
can discuss their research interests, current work and future plans. The
workshop is meant to provide an interdisciplinary forum for creative
thinking about current issues in spoken dialogue systems research, and
help create a stronger international network of young researchers
working in the field.

Please note that by 'young researchers' the workshop's organizers mean
to target students and researchers in the field who are at a relatively
early stage of their careers, and in no way mean to imply that participants must meet certain age restrictions.
This year, the workshop will be held on June 21th, 2008, in Columbus, Ohio,
as a satellite workshop to ACL 2008, the day after the 9th SIGdial workshop.It will be held on campus of the
The Ohio State University, not far from the ACL location.
Previous workshops were held in Antwerp (Interspeech 2007), Pittsburgh (Interspeech 2006) and Lisbon (Interspeech 2005). Here you can also find the previous years' proceedings and notes.
Here is the poster advertising the workshop. Please post in your department!
