INTERSPEECH Skills
A 12-skill depth pack for Interspeech, the ISCA (International Speech Communication Association) flagship conference: venue fit for speech science and technology, the 4-page-plus-references format, the post-deadline paper-update window, CMT submission, rebuttal, ISCA Archive camera-ready, audio artifacts, speech evaluation rigor (WER/MOS/EER with significance), and cycle management.

12- ▌ Interspeech Workflow · brycewang-stanfordUse when managing an INTERSPEECH project across the annual ISCA cycle — backward-planning from the late-February deadline through the update window, spring review, June notification, camera-ready and registration coupling, and the September–October conference, including what to do in the current post-decision phase and 2027 planning.
- ▌ Interspeech Submission · brycewang-stanfordUse when auditing an INTERSPEECH submission before the CMT deadline — the strict 4-page-plus-references format, double-anonymous rules and the pre-deadline anonymity period, scientific-area and metadata choices, the post-deadline paper-update window, dual-submission policy, and the desk-reject triggers specific to ISCA's flagship.
- ▌ Interspeech Experiments · brycewang-stanfordUse when designing or auditing the experimental evidence for an INTERSPEECH paper — task-correct metrics (WER/CER, MOS/CMOS, EER/minDCF, PESQ/STOI), baselines reviewers accept, significance testing over utterances and seeds, condition coverage across speakers/noise/languages, and data hygiene for speech corpora.
- ▌ Interspeech Camera Ready · brycewang-stanfordUse when an INTERSPEECH paper is accepted and the camera-ready, registration, and presentation chain begins — de-anonymizing for the ISCA Archive, restoring acknowledgments on the references page, meeting the author-registration requirement for proceedings inclusion, DOI metadata, and oral/poster preparation for the conference week.
- ▌ Interspeech Related Work · brycewang-stanfordUse when positioning an INTERSPEECH paper in the literature — tracing lineage through the ISCA Archive and its DOIs, covering the ICASSP/ASRU/SLT sibling circuit and challenge series, handling the speech-versus-NLP crossover canon, citing corpora properly, and avoiding the venue misattributions speech reviewers notice instantly.
- ▌ Interspeech Supplementary · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding what accompanies an INTERSPEECH paper beyond its 4 pages — audio sample pages and multimedia for listening-based judgment, what reviewers may ignore versus must see, the references-and-acknowledgments page's strict scope, and packaging extra analyses when no reviewed appendix exists.
- ▌ Interspeech Writing Style · brycewang-stanfordUse when writing or compressing an INTERSPEECH paper into its 4 content pages — the abstract-and-index-terms opening, task-first framing for a mixed science/engineering readership, table and figure economy, protocol one-liners that preserve rigor under compression, and the cuts that shrink pages without shrinking claims.
- ▌ Interspeech Review Process · brycewang-stanfordUse when reasoning about how INTERSPEECH review actually works — area-based assignment inside ISCA's scientific program, multi-reviewer scoring and meta-review on CMT, what the rebuttal can and cannot move, oral/poster allocation, ISCA best student paper selection, and reading a decision letter for next-cycle strategy.
- ▌ Interspeech Author Response · brycewang-stanfordUse when INTERSPEECH reviews arrive on CMT and a rebuttal is due — triaging three-or-more speech reviewers with mixed science/engineering instincts, answering WER/MOS evidence doubts with material already in the 4-page record, keeping replies anonymous, and writing for the meta-reviewer who decides in June.
- ▌ Interspeech Reproducibility · brycewang-stanfordUse when hardening the reproducibility of an INTERSPEECH paper — pinning corpus versions and official splits, publishing text-normalization and scoring rules that WER/EER silently depend on, documenting MOS listening-test protocols, reporting seeds and variance within 4 pages, and making toolkit recipes rerunnable.
- ▌ Interspeech Topic Selection · brycewang-stanfordUse when deciding whether a project belongs at INTERSPEECH, the ISCA flagship speech conference, or should be routed to ICASSP, ASRU/SLT, Odyssey, SSW, ACL/EMNLP, or a speech journal — testing whether spoken language is the contribution, matching subfields to the reviewer pool, and choosing between the 4-page and Long Paper tracks.
- ▌ Interspeech Artifact Evaluation · brycewang-stanfordUse when packaging code, models, and audio artifacts for an INTERSPEECH paper — anonymous demo pages and sample audio during double-blind review, public release at camera-ready, checkpoint and recipe distribution, voice-data licensing and speaker-consent hygiene, and the ethics of releasing synthesis or cloning systems.
