INT2 sponsors VLSP 2021

The 8th International Workshop on Vietnamese Language and Speech Processing (VLSP 2021) was held on December 18, 2021, hosted by the University of Information Technology, VNU-HCM. The workshop is organised annually by the Association for Vietnamese Speech and Language Processing (VLSP), a member of the Vietnam Association for Information Processing (VAIP).

VLSP 2021 featured 7 shared tasks evaluating Vietnamese text and speech processing tools, including speaker verification, speech recognition, and natural language processing. The workshop included scientific presentations, a panel discussion on developing the VLSP community, product demonstrations, and evaluation competitions. Datasets built for the workshop are shared with the entire community for research and application development, and the best experimental results serve as a reference for research groups selecting solutions for real-world problems.

Since 2020, the VLSP Club has been formally established as a chapter of the Vietnam Informatics Association, continuing the series of international VLSP workshops initiated in 2012 under the leadership of VLSP research groups at universities and institutes across Vietnam.

INT2 is honoured to continue sponsoring VLSP activities with human resources and computing resources, a commitment that began in 2008 with the VLSP Project. For over a decade, INT2 has consistently supported the VLSP community through engineering expertise and high-performance computing infrastructure, contributing to the growth of Vietnamese natural language processing and speech technology research. This long-term partnership reflects INT2’s dedication to advancing Vietnam’s AI and data science capabilities through sustained investment in the research community.

The workshop was sponsored by the Vingroup Innovation Foundation (VinIF) and supported by a consortium of academic and industry partners including VinBigData, AIMESOFT, VBee, VTCC, VCCorp, IOIT, VNU-UET, VNU-HUS, USTH, TLU, UIT, JAIST, INT2, and InfoRe.
