Publishing research is an essential skill for health professionals. In India, few training programs are specifically aimed to improve scientific writing. We developed a two-day interactive workshop address the need of researchers. Methods such as targeted Facebook advertising and sending emails available collections addresses were used inform potential participants from diverse disciplines abou...

The workshop “Touch Affordances” addresses a concept relevant to human computer interactions based on touch. The main topic is the challenge of applying the notion of affordances to domains related to touch interactions (e.g. (multi)touch screens, RFID & NFC, ubiquitous interfaces). The goals of this workshop are to launch a community of researchers, designers, etc. interested in this topic, to...

The I-ILT workshop provides a forum where researchers can exchange information about very recent technical progress in an informal, highly interactive setting. The scope includes not just speech recognition, speech understanding, text understanding, and machine translation, but also all spoken and written language work (broadly interpreted to include ARPA's TIPSTER, MT, MUC, and TREC programs) ...
