CALL FOR PAPERS
Big Data is an emerging topic in a broad variety of research areas.
Especially deep learning methods gained huge successes in a broad area of 
applications such as speech recognition, social signal analyses and natural 
language processing. Big data furthermore allows to conduct  predictive 
analytics, user behaviour analytics to enhance the system knowledge on user 
groups.

Along with the growing data and new methods also the problem of data
capturing, data storage and data analysis. Many of these issues demands a
manual annotation, which is not feasible in the case of big data. Thus,
methods to allow a proper (semi-)automatic annotation of big data are
needed.

On the other hand for emotional analyses and interaction analyses of speech
data the capturing of big data itself is challenging. Methods to generate
speech data from learned representations may help in this context.

In this special session we call for for research papers dealing and
discussing the above mentioned issues. 

TOPICS
The topics include (but are not limited to):
deep learning, 
transfer learning, 
(semi-)automatic  speech data analyses (for big data),
language modelling and big data
generative adversarial networks
