Preface

We present in this volume a collection of revised selected papers from the ISCA Tutorial and Research Workshop on Nonlinear Speech Processing (NOLISP 2007) held in Paris, France, 22–25 May, 2007. NOLISP 2007 was organized by the University Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC) with the generous support of ISCA (International Speech Communication Association), EURASIP and the IEEE. NOLISP 2007 was the first follow-on workshop to a series of three earlier events related to nonlinear speech processing, that were organized within the framework of the European COST action 277 Nonlinear speech processing (2001–2005). The financial support of ISCA enabled the attendance of leading researchers from various parts of the world. The exciting field of speech processing has witnessed tremendous development over the past 20 years or so, thanks to both technological progress and to the growing focus of research on a number of key application areas. However, some specificities of the speech signal are still not well addressed by th
