The 2017 IEEE Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding Workshop (ASRU 2017) will be held in Okinawa, Japan, on December 16-20, 2017, at the Okinawa Convention Center. 

The ASRU workshop meets every two years and has a tradition of bringing together researchers from academia and industry in an intimate and collegial setting to discuss problems of common interest in automatic speech recognition and understanding. For more details, refer to the call for paper.

Topics of interest include automatic speech recognition, spoken language understanding, and related topics in speech and spoken language processing.

The workshop will feature invited talks/keynotes, panel discussions and regular papers, which will be presented as posters. A full social program will provide ample opportunities for discussion, including a welcome reception, banquet, lunches, etc.

Following the success of the challenge special sessions held at ASRU2015, we will also hold challenge tasks during the workshop program.
