Ongoing research : spotlight on the Speaker ID project

Speech represents the privileged communication channel between human beings. In order to cooperate or even cohabit with machines, it is necessary to be able to communicate with them. To do this, the Artificial Intelligence research team is conducting research on automatic speech processing, specializing in speech and language recognition. The goal is to improve the robustness of speech recognition algorithms to the variability of human speech, noise and channel.
