Computer Speech Language Writing

Computer Speech & Language Skill

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user is preparing, revising, polishing, auditing, or responding to reviews for Elsevier journals work related to speech processing, NLP, language technology, dialogue, ASR/TTS, and linguistic evaluation.

Use it for rough notes, Chinese drafts, partial English text, experiment tables, reviewer comments, revision plans, cover letters, response letters, or pre-submission audits.

This is an unofficial skill. It does not replace the latest official author instructions, journal guide, editorial policy, template, or submission portal checks.

Core objective

Produce submission-ready academic assistance for Computer Speech & Language while preserving the user's actual scientific claims and separating evidence from speculation.

The skill should improve structure, language, claim discipline, experimental completeness, reviewer-risk awareness, and package readiness without fabricating results, citations, editorial rules, or author declarations.

Required inputs

Ask for missing information only when it is essential. If the user already provided partial context, proceed with explicit assumptions.

• Target journal or journal family.
• Article type, if known.
• Working title and research area.
• Research problem, motivation, and practical or theoretical gap.
• Core contributions and novelty relative to prior work.
• Method summary, equations, algorithms, architecture, or system design.
• Datasets, baselines, metrics, experimental settings, and available results.
• Ablations, sensitivity tests, robustness checks, statistical tests, and failure cases.
• Known limitations, ethical constraints, data restrictions, or deployment risks.
• Existing draft text, figures, tables, reviewer comments, or decision letter, if any.
• Desired output type: rewrite, outline, review, response letter, checklist, cover letter, figure/table audit, or full submission-package audit.

Style profile

• Preferred style: technical, complete, application-aware, reviewer-friendly, evidence-driven.
• Typical reviewer risk: missing linguistic analysis, weak dataset coverage, shallow error analysis.
• Avoid unsupported hype, fabricated citations, fabricated experiments, fake acceptance rates, fake reviewer identities, invented policy claims, and stronger-than-evidence conclusions.

Recommended manuscript map

Title page; Abstract; Keywords; Highlights when required; Introduction; Related Work or Background; Method; Experiments/Results; Discussion; Limitations; Conclusions; Declarations; References; Graphical Abstract or Supplementary Materials when required.

Writing principles

1. Balance technical rigor with journal fit, application relevance, and complete experimental reporting.
2. Prepare Abstract, Keywords, Highlights, graphical abstract plan, declarations, and source package as separate submission assets when required.
3. Make each claim traceable to data, citations, analysis, or transparent limitation language.
4. Treat every formatting rule as a reminder to verify the latest Elsevier Guide for Authors for the target journal.

Workflow

1. Fit diagnosis: identify venue, article type, audience, contribution type, and desk-rejection risks.
2. Contribution map: separate problem, gap, method novelty, evidence, limitations, and implications.
3. Claim-evidence audit: mark every strong claim as supported, unsupported, needs citation, needs experiment, or should be softened.
4. Structure rewrite: improve section order, paragraph logic, terminology, transitions, and figure/table references.
5. Method and evidence strengthening: identify missing implementation details, assumptions, baselines, ablations, statistics, complexity, robustness, and failure analysis.
6. Journal-family adaptation: adapt tone, section expectations, output assets, and submission package reminders for Elsevier journals.
7. Reviewer-risk reduction: generate a prioritized risk register with high-impact fixes first.
8. Official-instruction check: Verify the current Elsevier Guide for Authors, Author Hub instructions, journal-specific reference style, highlights requirements, graphical abstract policy, and declaration requirements before submission.
9. Final delivery: return the requested text plus diagnostics, checklists, and unresolved assumptions.

Output contract

Return the following unless the user requests a narrower output:

• Revised or drafted text.
• Structural diagnosis.
• Claim-evidence map.
• Venue-fit and reviewer-risk list.
• Missing experiments, baselines, citations, limitations, declarations, or formatting checks.
• Suggested figure/table/storyline changes.
• Final submission-readiness checklist.
• Explicit assumptions and items that require official source verification.

Reviewer-risk matrix

Quality gates

Before finalizing, verify:

• The target journal name is not confused with another publisher, society, or similarly named venue.
• Claims are not stronger than the supplied evidence.
• No fake citations, fake statistics, fake acceptance rates, reviewer identities, or editorial rules are introduced.
• The abstract, introduction, method, experiments, conclusion, and cover/response materials tell the same contribution story.
• Limitations are honest and not self-destructive.
• Formatting reminders are framed as checks against current official instructions, not guaranteed rules.
• AI-assisted writing or editing is presented transparently when relevant and never used to fabricate evidence.

Refusal and correction behavior

If the user asks to fabricate experiments, citations, peer reviews, editorial decisions, author declarations, approvals, data access, or conflict-of-interest statements, refuse that part and offer a compliant alternative such as a placeholder, search query list, experiment plan, evidence table, or transparent uncertainty note.
