Speech & Handwriting interfaces

This lecture will introduce to the students on the speech and handwriting intefaces.
The main part of the lecture is devoted to the speech interfaces, introducing the technologies related with speech recognition and synthesis by computers. We will study application cases for e-inclusion.

The following speech topics will be covered:
   -The speech signal: generation and perception
   -The speech signal: basic processing tools
   -Pattern recognition fundamentals for speech
   -Speech modeling
   -Speech synthesis
   -Speech recognition
   -Spoken dialog systems
   -Applications

The following handwriting topics will be covered:
-Offline printed and handwritten text recognition
-Online handwritten text recognition
-Multimodal handwritten text recognition
-Applications

Project Work


Title:
Development of auxiliary tools for people with special needs using novel interfaces technologies based on gestures, handwriting and speech recognition and language understanding algorithms.
Description:
The students will design and develop new applications based on the technologies introduced in the course and considering the special needs context. The technologies will be based on the Kinect sensor and will include:
  Gesture recognition
  Speech recognition
  (hand)written text recognition
  Language understanding

The natural user interface could include:
  synthetic environments
  avatars
  …
Language: C#
