The 20th annual Jelinek Workshop on Speech and Language Technology will be held at the University of Washington Department of Electrical Engineering. A continuation of the Johns Hopkins University CLSP summer workshop series from 1995-2014, notable researchers and students come together to collaborate on selected research topics for six weeks, following a special two week undergraduate education session. The Workshop is named after the late Fred Jelinek, its former director and head of the Center for Speech and Language Processing.

We are grateful for support from our industry sponsors — Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Mitsubishi — and from our government sponsors, the National Science Foundation and DARPA.
