Events
News

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.


Past events:

July 29th, 2011

Ramón Astudillo presented Towards Environmentally Robust Speech Applications

July 20-25, 2011

1st Lisbon Machine Learning School - "Learning For the Web"
LxMLS 2011 took 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.

June 28th, 2011

Maxine Eskenazi (LTI/CMU) led an informal discussion on crowdsourcing.



Participation in Conferences:

September 1-3
Joana Paulo Pardal will attend IWSDS 2011, the International Workshop on Spoken Dialogue Systems in Granada, Spain.


July 27-31
Ana Cristina Mendes, Alberto Abad and Annamaria Pompili attended EMNLP 2011: Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.





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.

Gender Sub-Challenge Prize - The INESC-ID gender detection system won the international evaluation that was promoted in the scope of Interspeech 2010.

IEEE Fellow - Prof. Isabel Trancoso The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE, appointed Prof. Isabel Trancoso as a Fellow of this prestigious institution.


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).
