COST 277- Nonlinear Speech Processing
The main objective of this Action is to improve the quality and capabilities of
the voice services for telecommunication systems through the development of new
nonlinear speech processing techniques.
The proposed new mathematical methods are expected to provide advances in
generic speech processing functions. Examples of these are:
higher quality speech synthesis,
more efficient speech coding,
improved speech recognition, and
improved speaker identification.
It is envisaged that the proposed nonlinear processing techniques will
significantly facilitate the acceptance of voice interfaces for information
systems such as the mobile Internet (by improving synthesis and recognition).
Additionally, these techniques are expected to make significant contributions
to the improvement of future generations of speech coders in wireless networks
(including packet-based wireless networks).

If you want to know what they look like then
some of them are seen enjoying themselves
in Denmark!
Alternatively you could see us all, (except that Gernot Kubin is hiding
me with his head!), being very merry in
Vietri-sul-Mare,
or taking a break from the technical sessions in Vietri,
(I am 4th from the left!),
here.
