This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of theThird International Conference on Statistical Language and Speech Processing,SLSP 2015, held in Budapest, Hungary, in November 2015.The 26 full papers presented together with twoinvited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. Thepapers cover topics such as: anaphora and coreference resolution; authorshipidentification, plagiarism and spam filtering; computer-aided translation;corpora and language resources; data mining and semantic Web; informationextraction; information retrieval; knowledge representation and ontologies;lexicons and dictionaries; machine translation; multimodal technologies;natural language understanding; neural representation of speech and language;opinion mining and sentiment analysis; parsing; part-of-speech tagging;question-answering systems; semantic role labelling; speaker identification andverification; speech and language generation; speech recognition; speechsynthesis; speech transcription; spelling correction; spoken dialogue systems;term extraction; text categorisation; text summarisation; and user modeling.

This volume brings together the advanced research results obtained by the European COST Action 2102 "Cross Modal Analysis of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication", primarily discussed at the PINK SSPnet-COST2102 International Conference on Analysis of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication and Enactment: The Processing Issues, held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 2010.The 40 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The volume is arranged into two scientific sections. The first section, Multimodal Signals: Analysis, Processing and Computational Issues, deals with conjectural and processing issues of defining models, algorithms, and heuristic strategies for data analysis, coordination of the data flow and optimal encoding of multi-channel verbal and nonverbal features. The second section, Verbal and Nonverbal Social Signals, presents original studies that provide theoretical and practical solutions to the modelling of timing synchronization between linguistic and paralinguistic expressions, actions, body movements, activities in human interaction and on their assistance for an effective human-machine interactions.
