Spoken Language Systems Lab

L²F - INESC ID Lisboa		Events		What's New...
INESC ID's Spoken Language Systems Laboratory (L²F - Laboratório de sistemas de Língua Falada) was created in January 2001, bringing together several research groups which could potentially add relevant contributions to the area of computational processing of spoken language for Portuguese.		Upcoming seminars: On May 27th, 2011 João Graça will present Rich Prior Knowledge in Learning for Natural Language Processing On June 1st, 2011 Annamaria Pompili will present Um sistema "online" para o tratamento à distância da afasia Participation in Conferences: On May 22-27, 2011 José David Lopes, Alberto Abad and João Paulo Neto will attend the 6th International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, in Prague, Czech Republic On May 30-31, 2011 Luís Marujo will attend the 15th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation, in Leuven, Belgium		1st Lisbon Machine Learning School - "Learning For the Web" LxMLS 2011 will take place July 20-25 at Instituto Superior Técnico, a leading Engineering and Science school in Portugal. It is organized jointly by IST, the Instituto de Telecomunicações and the Spoken Language Systems Lab - L2F of INESC-ID. Outstanding Paper Award - Nuno Homem and João Paulo Carvalho received the outstanding paper award at the 30th Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS 2011) with the paper Authorship Identification and Author Fingerprints. IEEE Fellow - Prof. Isabel Trancoso The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE, appointed Prof. Isabel Trancoso as a Fellow of this prestigious institution. Gender Sub-Challenge Prize - The INESC-ID gender detection system won the international evaluation that was promoted in the scope of InterSpeech 2010. Research Opportunities - The Spoken Language Systems Lab is looking for students interested in pursuing a PhD in Language Technologies. Post-Doc positions are also open. The typical PhD program in our lab is held in cooperation with international Universities (currently with Univ. Rochester, New York University, University of Pennsylvania). Cooperations are being established with École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and CMU.
Voice Interaction
VoiceInteraction S.A. is a technology based company born in April 2008 as a spin-off from INESC-ID Lisboa. Its primary goal is to develop speech processing technologies. VoiceInteraction team is composed by researchers coming from INESC-ID Lisboa Spoken Language Systems Lab (L2F/INESC-ID) that have worked in the TECNOVOZ project (ADI/PRIME/03/165 - 2006/2008).
