Alexander Waibel, Director, interACT; Professor, Computer Science
Overview: Dr. Waibel's research interests center around the interpretation and integration of speech, language and other human communication systems. Two particularly challenging examples of these interests are the JANUS project, a speech-to-speech translation systems, that provides translation of spoken language between English, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean (e.g. a translating telephone). Another, the INTERACT project, attempts to design multimodal interfaces, that incorporate not only speech, but also other communication modalities, such as gesture, lipreading, handwritten character recognition, face- and eye-tracking, in order to derive a robust understanding of user intent. |
