Midwest Speech and Language Days (MSLD) is a 2-day meeting that continues and expands upon the tradition of Illinois Speech Day and the Midwest Computational Linguistics Colloquium. After a pandemic-induced hiatus, MSLD returns in 2024 at the University of Michigan. This non-archival meeting invites presenters and attendees come from Midwest universities and research institutions to discuss recent and in-progress work. The goal is to increase awareness of speech and language research going on in the region and to foster collaboration among sites.
A call for abstracts will be issued early in 2024. Please sign up here to be notified when the call goes out. As with past MSLD events, registration is free, though space may be limited. We especially encourage junior scholars to submit their work.
