Making an Impact on a Thriving Speech Research Community
Monday, October 11, 2010
Posted by Vincent Vanhoucke, Google Research
While we continue to launch exciting new speech products--most recently
Voice Actions
and
Google Search by Voice
in Russian, Czech and Polish--we also strive to contribute to the academic research community by sharing both innovative techniques and experiences with large-scale systems.
This year’s gathering of the world’s experts in speech technology research,
Interspeech 2010
in Makuhari, Japan, which Google co-sponsored, was a fantastic demonstration of the momentum of this community, driven by new challenges such as mobile voice communication, voice search, and the increasing international reach of speech technologies.
Googlers published papers that showcased the breadth and depth of our speech recognition research. Our work addresses both fundamental problems in acoustic and language modeling, as well as the practical issues of building scalable speech interfaces that real people use everyday to make their lives easier.
Here is a list of the papers presented by Googlers at the conference:
