Speech and Language Technology in Education (SLaTE) is a ‘Special Interest Group’ (SIG) of the ‘International Speech Communication Association’ (ISCA).
After 4 years without meetings the SLaTE met again at Trinity College in Dublin in August 2023 just before the ISCA’s main event INTERSPEECH 2023. TEFLON partners had three presentations in SLaTE and one in its sister workshop SIGUL 2023 that was run parallel to it in another nearby meeting room.
