Information and Knowledge Management @ IRL
 Speech recognition and synthesis
− Hindi, Indian English & Hinglish
 Translation: Hindi  English and English  Hindi
 UIMA Annotators (rule based)
− with IIT-Bombay
 Linking structured and unstructured data
 Learning attributes from noisy or incomplete information
− For example, customer transaction logs
 More…

 Desktop speech recognition
(Hindi & Indian English)
− More than 1100 speakers
− More than 250 hours of
broadband speech data
− Vocabulary of 75000 words
− Accuracy: 90-95%
 Telephony speech recognition
− 500 speakers each for Hindi,
English & Hinglish
− A prototype for movie booking
system in Indian English
Speech - Core Technologies

SENSEI: Voice and Accent Training for Call-
Centers
 Challenges
− Increase in the number of call centers in India
− Agents need to speak in foreign accent
− Very high attrition rates in call-centers
− Hiring involves evaluation and training
 Solution: Sensei, a tool that is used for:
− Candidate Screening: evaluates a candidate’s
pronunciation, grammar and fluency
− On-board Training: evaluates correctness of sounds
produced, syllable stress, speaking rate and fluency
− Monitoring: analyzes pre-recorded calls to determine if the
agent maintained the required quality of voice/accent
 Application: Cost reduction by automation of Accent Training
and Evaluation

– Extremely bright cs & math students
• Digital Geographics
– Strong interest in mapping
• Mobility, Networks, and Systems
– E.g., Fastest growing mobile-phone market
• Multilingual Systems
– 22 national languages, multilingual speakers
• Rigorous Software Engineering
– E.g., world’s most advanced system integrators
