✦ Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Statistical Language and Speech Processing, SLSP 2013, held in Tarragona, Spain, in July 2013. The 24 full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics in the fields of computational language and speech processing and the statistical methods that are currently in use.
