Interspeech is the world’s largest and most comprehensive conference
on the science and technology of spoken language processing.
Interspeech conferences emphasize interdisciplinary approaches
addressing all aspects of speech science and technology, ranging from
psycholinguistic theories of human speech processing to advanced
applications of speech technology.
The theme of Interspeech 2025 is “Fair and Inclusive Speech Science
and Technology” and aims to celebrate and incorporate the vast speech
diversity both within and between individuals, as well as within and
between languages. This theme emphasizes diversity as a source of
richness and information, contributing to the development of fairer,
more robust, and personalized speech technology applications and more
accurate theories of human speech processing. By embracing this
diversity, we can create theories and technologies that are inclusive
of everyone, ensuring that speech science and technology benefit all
individuals and communities.
Interspeech 2025 will feature the usual oral and poster sessions,
plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, tutorials, special
sessions and challenges, show & tell, exhibits, and satellite events.
Following Interspeech 2024 we will feature a Blue Sky track. New this
year is a Speech Science Festival for the general public on the Sunday
prior to Interspeech. Watch our website for more information in the
coming months on how you can participate!

Paper Submission

Please note that the paper submission deadline is earlier than
previous years because the conference is held in August. The paper
submission deadline is February 12 2025.

Interspeech 2025 seeks original and innovative papers covering all
aspects of human and machine speech science and technology. The
language of the conference is English, so papers must be written in
English. The paper length is up to four pages in two columns with an
additional page for references and acknowledgments only. Submitted
papers must conform to the format defined in the paper kit provided on
the conference website (and as an overleaf template) and may
optionally be accompanied by multimedia files. Interspeech 2025 will
follow a double-blind review process so papers submitted for review
should not reveal the identity or affiliation of the authors. Authors
must declare that their contributions are original and that they have
not submitted their papers elsewhere for publication. Papers must be
submitted electronically and will be evaluated through rigorous peer
review on the basis of novelty and originality, technical correctness,
clarity of presentation, key strengths, and quality of references. The
Technical Programme Committee will decide which papers to include in
the conference programme using peer review as the primary criterion,
with secondary criteria of addressing the conference theme, and
diversity across the programme as a whole. If accepted, each paper
needs to be presented by one of the authors during the in-person
conference.

Blue Sky Track

Interspeech 2024 introduced the new BLUE SKY track of highly
innovative papers in fields or directions that have not yet been
explored. Large-scale experimental evaluation will not be required for
papers in this track. If you think your work satisfies these
requirements, please consider submitting a paper to this challenging
and competitive track. Please note that to achieve the objectives of
this BLUE SKY track, we will ask the most experienced reviewers to
assess the proposals.

Venue

Interspeech 2025 will take place at Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Center
in the Netherlands.
