About the Workshop

Speech Processing is a scientific discipline as well as a technology frontier with immense applications. The treatment of speech signal processing requires an initial grounding in digital signal processing. On one side of the spectrum is the speech and language sciences, such as linguistics, phonetics and psychoacoustics, and on the other side are the signal processing theory and pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. This leads to enhanced human-human & human-machine communication systems, such as speech and audio coding, automatic speech and speaker recognition, speech synthesis, speech enhancement etc. Pursuit of such wide ranging research and development demands a broad base of fundamental knowledge, as well as the mastering of clever algorithms and techniques.

 

The program is open to the UG and PG students, PhD research scholars, faculty members of E.E.E., E.C.E, C.S.E., I.T., M.C.A. departments who choose speech recognition for their research work.

The Objective of the Workshop is to:

​

  • Exchange ideas, methodologies and techniques of how to work towards the implementation of Continuous speech recognition systems;

  • Review existing Automatic speech recognition(ASR) systems;

  • Be informed of the benefits and limitations of the existing ASR systems;

  • Identify and recommend appropriate actions required for further research in this field.

The Scope of Workshop:

​

Today, voice and natural language processing are at the forefront of any human machine interaction environment.

the goal of speech technology is to make speaking to devices around you (home, in car), devices you wear (watch), devices with you (phone, tablet) ubiquitous and seamless. it covers the various areas of research like:

  • Speech and audio coding;

  • Automatic speech and speaker recognition;

  • Speech synthesis;

  • Language modeling;

  • Speech enhancement etc.

​

The Outcomes of the Workshop will be:

​

  • Increased understanding of Automatic Speech Recognition working ;

  • Able to work on open source speech recognition tools like HTK 3.4.1 and sphinx;

  • The confidence to keep going on research of speech recognition

  • Able to find out the future research direction in this field

Hands-on Session Details (ASR Tools)

Program

Schedule

1.HTK 3.4.1:
The Hidden Markov Model Toolkit (HTK 3.4.1) is a speech recognition toolkit developed by Cambridge University(CUED). The tools provide sophisticated facilities for speech analysis, HMM training, testing and result analysis.
