The Diamond, University of Sheffield. Monday 23 June 2025 

Our fifth annual SLT CDT conference will be held at The Diamond building, University of Sheffield. The conference brings together researchers and practitioners from a range of areas with interests in computational processing of speech signals and written language.

The conference will showcase the research being undertaken by our CDT’s PhD students as well as those in the School of Computer Science's long-established Speech and Hearing (SpandH) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) research groups. 

Sheffield's SpandH and NLP research groups constitute one of the largest groupings of SLT researchers in the UK with world leading research publications and impact. 

The conference will consist of:

• keynote talks from leading international academics and industrial practitioners 

• student talks and posters describing their PhD research

Conference registration fees cover access to all sessions (oral and poster), buffet lunch, as well as refreshments during the poster sessions.

Fickle Heart: Managing uncertainty in predictive cardiac modelling, 8th and 9th September 2025.

Complex computer models, capturing multiscale cardiac physiology, can now be developed using data from the clinical setting.  These models are being assembled into personalised digital twins that combine physics-based modelling, uncertainty quantification, simulation acceleration, and AI/ML for data forecasting.  This workshop will build on previous events, and will explore how these recent developments enable uncertainty quantification with digital twin applications.

Registrations include an evening meal on 8th September, additionally if you would like to display a poster at this event you can include the title of the poster in your registration form. Please note that there are only 75 places on the event so early registration is advised.

Once the event is sold out, please email m.cunning@sheffield.ac.uk to be added to the waiting list.
