Special Theme: “Generalization of NLP Models”

'Generalization is crucial for ensuring that models behave robustly, reliably, and fairly when making predictions on data different from their training data. Achieving good generalization is critically important for models used in real-world applications, as they should emulate human-like behavior. Humans are known for their ability to generalize well, and models should aspire to this standard.'

The theme of Interspeech 2025 is 'Fair and Inclusive Speech Science and Technology', and aims to celebrate and incorporate the vast speech diversity both within and between individuals, as well as within and between languages.

This theme emphasizes diversity as a source of richness and information, contributing to the development of fairer, more robust, and personalized speech technology applications and more accurate theories of human speech processing.

By embracing this diversity, we can create theories and technologies that are inclusive of everyone, ensuring that speech science and technology benefit all individuals and communities.

Het 22e Colloquium Neerlandicum vindt plaats van 25 t/m 29 augustus 2025 en wordt georganiseerd door de Internationale Vereniging voor Neerlandistiek (IVN) en de Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).

Het thema van dit colloquium is ‘Nederlands in meertalige contexten’.

Elke drie jaar organiseert de IVN een eigen congres: het Colloquium Neerlandicum.

In de afgelopen decennia is de internationale neerlandistiek uitgegroeid tot een dynamische, veelzijdige gemeenschap onderzoekers, docenten en vertalers. Het driejaarlijks colloquium neerlandicum is voor onze leden dé gelegenheid om resultaten, ideeën, ervaringen en 'best practices' uit te wisselen.

Daarnaast biedt het colloquium bij uitstek de mogelijkheid om het netwerk van de internationale neerlandistiek te verstevigen en uit te breiden.

In 2022 kwamen bijna 300 neerlandici uit 37 landen een week bij elkaar in Nijmegen.
