CODICES - Automatic Analysis of Mexican Codex Collections
IM2 (Phase III) - Interactive Multimodal Information Management
IM2 is one the 20 Swiss National Centres of Competence in Research (NCCR) aiming at boosting research and development in several areas considered of strategic importance to the Swiss economy. The National Centers of Competence in Research are a research instrument managed by the Swiss National Science Foundation on behalf of the Federal Authorities. Granted for a maximum duration of 12 years, they are evaluated every year by a review panel, and renewed every four years. In December 2009, the SNSF approved the next and last four-year period (2010 - 2013) which has started January 1st, 2010. Success of the NCCRs is measured in terms of research achievements, training of young scientists (PhD students and postdocs), knowledge and technology transfer (including spin-offs), and advancement of women.
CCPP - Cross Cultural Personality Perception
Psychologists have shown that there is a correlation between nonverbal characteristics of speaking on one side, and personality traits as perceived by the listeners on the other side. For example, individuals that speak loud are perceived as more extroverted than individuals that speak soft, and individuals that speak fast are perceived as more brilliant than individuals that speak slow. The problem is that the mapping between nonverbal characteristics of speaking and perceived personality traits is, in many cases, culture dependent. In other words, the above examples are known to apply in southern Europe, but they can be wrong when applied in other cultural areas.

DM3 - Distributed MultiModal Media Server
FlexASR - Flexible Grapheme-Based Automatic Speech Recognition
There has always been an interest in using directly the grapheme (orthographic) transcription of the word, without explicit phonetic modeling. However, while limiting the variability at the word representation level, the link between the acoustic waveform has become weaker (depending on the language), as the standard acoustic features characterize phonemes. Most recent attempts were based on mapping orthography of the words onto HMM states using phonetic information, or extending conventional HMM-based ASR systems by improving context-dependent modelling for grapheme units.
