IEEE ASLI 2027 — IEEE International Conference on Audio, Speech, and Language Intelligence
by IEEE Signal Processing Society
The new IEEE flagship for speech, audio and language AI — ASRU and SLT merged into one conference in Singapore
About This Event
IEEE ASLI 2027, the IEEE International Conference on Audio, Speech, and Language Intelligence, takes place 29 November – 4 December 2027 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. It is a newly established IEEE Signal Processing Society conference formed by merging the core activities of two long-running meetings, IEEE ASRU (Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding) and IEEE SLT (Spoken Language Technology), into a single premier venue for speech, language and audio AI. The programme spans conversational AI, multimodal foundation models, generative approaches and system-level design, with an emphasis on multilingual, inclusive and application-driven work including healthcare. ASLI runs inside the 2027 IEEE Signal Processing Summit, so one registration also covers the co-located IEEE ICIP 2027 and IEEE CAI 2027. Regular papers go through a rebuttal period and reviewer discussion, and the conference accepts challenge and demo papers plus an IEEE SPS journal-paper track. General chairs are Shinji Watanabe (Carnegie Mellon University) and Kai Yu (Shanghai Jiao Tong University).

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Speech and NLP research scientists
- ✓ML engineers building voice and conversational AI
- ✓Heads of AI and applied science
- ✓CTOs evaluating speech and language platforms
- ✓PhD students and academic researchers
- ✓Product leaders for voice assistants and contact-centre AI
Why Attend
For a CTO or head of AI whose roadmap includes voice agents, transcription, contact-centre automation or multilingual assistants, ASLI is where the people building the underlying speech and language models present their work before it reaches products. Because it absorbs both ASRU and SLT, it concentrates a field that used to be split across two meetings into one week, and the shared Summit pass adds the IEEE AI and image-processing conferences. Teams can recruit, check vendor claims against peer-reviewed results, and see where multimodal foundation models are replacing classic speech pipelines.
Event Features
- ✓Regular paper track (submission due 21 April 2027, revision due 28 April 2027)
- ✓Challenge papers track
- ✓Demo papers track
- ✓IEEE SPS journal-paper track (submissions due 30 July 2027)
- ✓Tutorials, workshops and short courses (separately priced, SGD 35–650)
- ✓Co-located IEEE ICIP 2027 and IEEE CAI 2027 under the 2027 IEEE Signal Processing Summit
- ✓Patron and exhibitor programme
What Makes This Unique
- ★First edition of a new flagship formed by merging IEEE ASRU and IEEE SLT, the two meetings speech-recognition and spoken-language research has historically been split across
- ★One IEEE Signal Processing Summit registration covers three co-located conferences: ASLI, ICIP 2027 (image processing) and CAI 2027 (artificial intelligence)
- ★Peer review includes a formal rebuttal period (23–30 June 2027) and a reviewer discussion phase, not single-pass acceptance
- ★General chairs Shinji Watanabe (CMU) and Kai Yu (SJTU), with technical programme chairs from USTC, Johns Hopkins University and NTT Communication Science Laboratories
- ★Accepts regular, challenge and demo papers, plus an IEEE SPS journal-paper track
