Since becoming a SIG in 2012, we have held our fourth successful workshop at INTERSPEECH 2013 in Grenoble, France. This was a satellite event and was co-located with the 1st Workshop on Affective Social Speech Signals. This year will see the fifth SLPAT workshop, to be co-located at ACL 2014 in Baltimore on 26-27 June 2014. We also have a special issue of ACM TACCESS coming out and a special session at INTERSPEECH 2014.
