Abstract submission

All students in the UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Speech and Language Technologies (SLT) and their Applications will present their work (either as a poster or as a talk). There will also be posters / talks from students from the School of Computer Science's long-established Speech and Hearing (SpandH) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) research groups.

If you are a non-Sheffield student undertaking research in areas related to speech processing and / or written language processing and wish to present your work at our conference, please submit a 200-word abstract using this form: https://forms.gle/HxkBTaMcxZ9fTzN68 

The conference does not operate a review process. We have limited poster and talk slots and priority will be given to SLT CDT students, then Sheffield students, and then non-Sheffield students. We reserve the right to not include any submissions in the conference if we are oversubscribed and / or your submission is not considered suitable. Any decision not to include a submission in the conference is final. 

Remember: even if you submit an abstract, you will still need to register to attend the conference!
