========================================



Speech and language technology (SLT), and particularly dialog technology,
has the potential to help educate, facilitate medical treatment, provide
access to services and information, empower, support independent living,
and enable communication and cultural exchange between communities.

The Dialog for Good Workshop (DiGo) aims to highlight the use of SLT for
social good.  It will promote novel use cases, cutting edge research and
technological developments in any domain which facilitates society,
building awareness of the opportunities that SLT offers. The workshop will
foster networking among researchers and service providers, leading to
further initiatives to develop this highly interdisciplinary area of speech
and language research and technology.

The workshop covers applications  of speech and language technology in
areas including, but not limited to, the following:


* Education
* Access to Social Services / Participation in Society
* Less Resourced Languages
* Health
* Social/Public services
* Culture
* Mobility/Migration
* Political Freedom
* Agriculture
* Sustainability

Please forward to interested colleagues.

On behalf of the Organising Committee:

Ben Cowan, Jens Edlund, Emer Gilmartin, Neasa Ní Chíaráin, Christian Saam,
