Fourth International Conference on Speech and Language Technologies for Low-Resource Languages

The Fourth International Conference on Speech and Language Technologies for Low-Resource Languages (LORESMT 2025) addresses one of the most socially impactful challenges in computational linguistics: developing robust speech and language technology for the thousands of languages that lack sufficient data, tools, or research attention. Now in its fourth edition, the conference has built a dedicated community around this underserved area.

Topics include ASR and TTS for low-resource languages, zero-shot and few-shot language modeling, transfer learning across language families, data augmentation for scarce language resources, documentation-driven NLP, and community-engaged language technology development. NLP researchers, field linguists, speech scientists, and language community advocates will all find the conference directly relevant. It is a vital venue for anyone who believes that language technology should be accessible to speakers of all languages, not just the world's most dominant ones.
