Midwest Speech and Language Days (MSLD) is a two-day meeting that continues the tradition of Illinois Speech Day and the Midwest Computational Linguistics Colloquium. Presenters and attendees from all Midwest universities and research institutions are invited. The goal is to increase awareness of speech and language research going on in the region and to foster collaboration among sites.
