The NEURAL 2019 special session aims to advance our knowledge on language disorders and the development of experimental methods for the analysis and processing of speech and language. Special emphasis is put on interdisciplinary approaches among different research areas, including computational linguistics (CL), (cognitively inspired) natural language processing (NLP), speech acoustics, and also other related areas and modalities, including wearable, vision, and ambient sensor technologies. The special session programme will contain a combination of oral and poster papers on main areas of language disorders. Furthermore, attendees will have opportunities of free discussions among NEURAL 2019 as well as ExLing 2019 participants.
