YFRSW 2024
31 Aug 2024I am very happy to have contributed to another successful edition of the Young Female* Researchers in Speech Workshop (YFRSW). This year, the workshop was held on the beautiful Greek island of Kos. We had the pleasure of welcoming our participants at the 2nd Lyceum of Kos. 🇬🇷 🏝 ☀️
Organizing this event would not have been possible without my fantastic co-chairs Leda Sari (Meta AI, USA) and Georgia Maniati (Samsung Electronics / Innoetics, Greece), as well as all members of the organizing committee: Johannah O’Mahony (University of Edinburgh, UK), Sarah Ita Levitan (City University of New York, USA), Vered Silber-Varod (Tel Aviv University, Israel), Sarenne Wallbridge (University of Edinburgh, UK), Aria Minaidi (Google, Poland), Aaricia Herygers (alphaspeech, Germany), Spyretta Leivaditi (University of Groningen, The Netherlands), and Yuanyuan Zhang (TU Delft, The Netherlands)! Thank you! 💕
*The workshop is open for marginalized genders, including women, as well as non-binary and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a space that is centered on women’s experiences in the speech science and technology community. We aim to offer an inclusive and accessible program.
