Intelligent Speech and Acoustic Signal Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Speech and acoustic signals are one of the most natural modalities that carry important information from/to people. In the last decade, machine learning techniques have greatly enhanced the performance of speech and acoustic signal processing, while traditional signal processing approaches still provide values especially in areas with limited resources. This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances in the intelligent speech and acoustic signal processing with signal processing and/or machine learning approaches in the vast area including but not limited to speech/speaker/language/emotion/prosody recognition, speech synthesis, far-field acoustic signal processing, speech enhancement, acoustic echo cancellation, source localization, spoken term detection, keyword detection, active noise cancellation, language processing, forensics/security/privacy/obfuscation, spoken language understanding, and music analysis and processing.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
