This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing, ISCSLP 2006, held in Singapore in December 2006, co-located with ICCPOL 2006, the 21st International Conference on Computer Processing of Oriental Languages.

The 74 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 183 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on topics in speech science, speech analysis, speech synthesis and generation, speech enhancement, acoustic modeling for automatic speech recognition, robust speech recognition, speech adaptation/normalization, general topics in speech recognition, large vocabulary continuous speech recognition, multilingual recognition and identification, speaker recognition and characterization, spoken language understanding, human language acquisition, development and learning, spoken and multimodal dialog systems, speech data mining and document retrieval, machine translation of speech, as well as spoken language resources and annotation.
