For several years, the Telecom and Media Systems group has been working closely with the Human Language Technology (HLT) department, located at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratory in Yorktown Heights, NY.
Members from the Haifa team have participated in joint projects in the areas of text-to-speech synthesis, recognition in noisy environments, recognition for telephony, and more.
With the help of the HLT department and EMEA speech research, the Haifa team is also working on Hebrew speech recognition. The current focus is on large vocabulary applications such as dictation and transcription using the IBM ViaVoice technology. A demonstration of Hebrew dictation has been built showing the potential of the technology.
The Haifa team is currently participating in the global IBM research and development of concatenative text-to-speech. Haifa is focusing on low resource, high quality TTS that uses in-house speech compression techniques.
In addition, some of the group activities in compression and coding (see RECOVC) are highly connected and directly aimed towards the IBM speech recognition technology.
