RESEARCH AREAS
Big Data and Deep Learning
“Machine Learning is the new electricity” Deep Learning is a technique that belongs to the Machine Learning Field. Machine Learning techniques learns from data. Nowadays the amount of data grows exponentially year after year. Therefore machine learning techniques...
Speech Processing and Dialogue Systems
Speech processing includes different applications, such like speech recognition and understanding, speech-to-speech translation, speech interaction with mobile devices, speaker and domain adaptation, and multimodal speech recognition. Dialogue systems related tasks...
Handwritten Text Recognition
Both off-line (document images) and on-line HTR (tablet or e-pen signals) are considered. No prior character or word segmentation is needed. Technology relies on character-level optical models based on Convolutional-Recurrent Neural Networks and Hidden Markov Models,...
Computer Vision
General Statistical and Syntactic Pattern Recognition techniques for image analysis and recognition. Some applications: OCR and document analysis, medical diagnosis, biometric identification, image and video retrieval. Relevance-based Image Retrieval Biometrics...
Language Translation
The activities of the Machine Translation group began some years ago with the use of finite-state models for speech-to-speech translation and for text-to-text translation in limited domains. This group has developed a number of translation models with the...
