計算機語音與語言出版關于語音與語言識別、理解、生成、編碼和挖掘的原始研究報告。語音和語言科學有著悠久的歷史，但直到最近才開始大規模實施和實驗復雜的語音和語言處理模型。這類研究通常由人工智能、計算機科學、電子工程、信息檢索、語言學、語音學或心理學的從業者分別進行。該雜志為這項工作提供了一個重點，并鼓勵跨學科的方法，以語音和語言研究和技術。因此，歡迎所有相關領域的貢獻，包括理論或實驗研究報告、教程、評論、與模型及其實現相關的簡短通信，或導致改進這些模型的基礎研究報告。研究領域包括：語音識別和合成的算法和模型語言理解和生成的自然語言處理統計計算語言學話語和對話的計算模型信息檢索、提取和總結說話人與語言認知語音產生和感知的計算模型用于語音分析、增強和轉換的信號處理評估人類和計算機系統的性能

Computer Speech & Language publishes reports of original research related to the recognition, understanding, production, coding and mining of speech and language.The speech and language sciences have a long history, but it is only relatively recently that large-scale implementation of and experimentation with complex models of speech and language processing has become feasible. Such research is often carried out somewhat separately by practitioners of artificial intelligence, computer science, electronic engineering, information retrieval, linguistics, phonetics, or psychology.The journal provides a focus for this work, and encourages an interdisciplinary approach to speech and language research and technology. Thus contributions from all of the related fields are welcomed in the form of reports of theoretical or experimental studies, tutorials, reviews, and brief correspondence pertaining to models and their implementation, or reports of fundamental research leading to the improvement of such models.Research Areas IncludeAlgorithms and models for speech recognition and synthesisNatural language processing for speech understanding and generationStatistical computational linguisticsComputational models of discourse and dialogueInformation retrieval, extraction and summarizationSpeaker and language recognitionComputational models of speech production and perceptionSignal processing for speech analysis, enhancement and transformationEvaluation of human and computer system performance
