Future work in COST action 277 on nonlinear speech processing1

In this paper we present the progress of the COST action 277 on nonlinear speech processing. The action is focused on four key themes: speech synthesis, speech coding, speech recognition and speech analysis. The purpose of this paper is twofold, to state clearly and publicly the aims of the action for the next three years, and also to attract the interest of researchers and laboratories around the world thus potentially increasing collaborations between them.
