Indian Institute of Science and CMU Collaborators Explore Root of Multi-Talker Speech Segmentation in Human Brain
Scientists and engineers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) are collaborating on a study to explore the human brain's ability to decipher conversations with multiple speakers. The research team is led by Professor Lori Holt from CMU’s Neuroscience Institute and Professor Sriram Ganapath from IISc. The team also includes Neeraj Sharma, a Postdoctoral Researcher who is the recipient of a joint fellowship between CMU and IISC. The fellowship is made possible through the generous support provided by Kris Gopalakrishnan and the Pratiksha Trust. The research results will help to improve human-machine interaction and enable engineers to design artificial dialogue systems that can better transcribe multi-speaker conversations.
The research involved a fruitful collaboration between the Indian Institute of Science and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Pittsburgh (USA), and was funded by the generous support provided by Kris Gopalakrishnan to the Indian Institute of Science through the Pratiksha Trust, the CMU-IISc BrainHub Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Carnegie Mellon Neuroscience Institute.
