Important Dates =============== Proposals of tutorials due: 1 February 2025 Notification of selection to organizers: 5 April 2025 Final announcement of tutorials on the website: 20 April 2025 Tutorial Day: 17 August 2025

The Tutorial Day is an important component of INTERSPEECH. It offers a unique opportunity for experts in various speech-related domains to provide conference attendees with rich learning experiences. To ensure a high-quality and diverse set of tutorials at INTERSPEECH 2025, we invite proposals that cover both introductory and advanced topics, from longstanding research challenges and current research trends to emerging areas of study. These proposals should target early-stage researchers and experienced researchers who wish to deepen their knowledge in a new area. Each tutorial will be 3 hours long. The tutorials are expected to provide an overview of an area of research rather than focus on an individual presenter’s research program and findings. While it is not mandatory to address the theme of Interspeech 2025, "Fair and Inclusive Speech Science and Technology,” we encourage proposals to consider how their tutorials might align with or reflect this theme. We especially welcome proposals related to the four strands of Interspeech 2025: Individual Differences in Speech Processing, Under-Researched Languages, Dialects, and Accents, Inclusive Technology for Atypical Speech Communication, and Ethical Considerations. Proposals from individuals who identify as being underrepresented in the speech science and technology community (due to factors such as geographical location, economic status, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic) are particularly welcome.

Proposals Should Include (in the following order)

• Title • Presenter(s) name and affiliation • Contact information (email, telephone) • Abstract (no more than 200 words) summarizing the proposed tutorial that could be used as an advertisement • Description (1 – 2 pages; no more than 800 words), which includes a few relevant references and any webpages/material useful for reviewing the proposal • Relevance of the proposed tutorial for Interspeech 2025 (0.5 – 1 page; no more than 400 words) • Tutorial logistics, including • Duration (1 session or 2 sessions; 3 hours = 1 session). If 1 session, please indicate your preference for morning or afternoon. • Presenter(s) information (name(s)) • Special equipment required for the tutorial • Description of accompanying material provided (handouts, storage devices with media, etc.) • Presenter information • Biography of presenter(s) • Key publications of presenter(s) on the tutorial topic • List of previous tutorial experience • Audience information • Target audience (e.g. new researchers to the field, research students, specialists of adjacent fields) • Other considerations/comments
