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 events:

September 23rd, 2011
Gopala Krishna Anumanchipalli will present TTS issues in Speech-to-Speech Machine translation


Past events:

September 9th, 2011
José Portêlo presented On the Implementation of a Secure Musical Database Matching

July 29th, 2011
Ramón Astudillo presented Towards Environmentally Robust Speech Applications



Participation in Conferences:

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


August 29-September 2
José Portêlo attended Eusipco 2011, the 19th European Signal Processing Conference, in Barcelona, Spain


August 28-31
Isabel Trancoso, João Paulo Neto, Thomas Pellegrini, Alberto Abad, Ramón Astudillo, João Graça and Gopala Krishna Anumanchipalli attended Interspeech 2011, the 12thAnnual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association, in Florence, Italy




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).
