Projects

Babel Octopus: Robust Multi-Source Speech Translation (START/SCI/089)
The project proposes methods for creating a robust simultaneous multi-source speech-to-text translation.
1.4.2021 - 31.3.2023


Neural machine translation for low-resource languages (GAUK 1050119)
The aim of the project is to investigate methods of training machine translation models with limited access to manually translated texts. 
1.1.2019 - 31.12.2021

Neural Representations in Multi-modal and Multi-lingual Modelling (NEUREM3) (GAČR EXPRO 19-26934X)
The NEUREM3 project encompasses basic research in speech processing (SP) and natural language processing (NLP) with accent on multi-linguality and multi-modality(speech and text processing with the support of visual information).
1.1.2019 - 31.12.2024
