Google Best Show & Tell Prize
Thanks to Google, a gold sponsor of the conference, we are happy to announce the Google's Best Show & Tell award. Google wishes to send the following message to the contestants, in order to explain the spirit of this support:
"Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin applied their research to an interesting problem and invented the world's most popular search engine. The same spirit holds true at Google today. The mission of research at Google is to deliver cutting-edge innovation that improves Google products and enriches the lives of all who use them.
Google promotes innovation and the flow of ideas within research communities across the globe. For the community at Interspeech 2013, Google is pleased to provide funding for the Show & Tell event during the conference".
Show & Tell is a special event organized during the conference, where participants are asked to demonstrate innovation -- an idea, a concept, a prototype -- in a format of their choice : a talk, a poster, a mockup, a demo, etc... These Show & Tell presentations can (but do not have to) relate to a paper submitted at the conference.
Show & Tell participants must submit a specific 2 page written contribution, together with optional multimedia content (see details at https://interspeech2013.org/content/special-events). The submission must describe the concept from the technical point-of-view but also articulate its innovative side.
Google will award a sum of 500 € to the best Show & Tell at Interspeech 2013.
