CREALOGIX purchases the cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology of Koemei. The solution, developed by the Swiss start-up and spin-off of the Idiap Research Institute, enables the automated conversion of audio and video content into text data for analytics and optimisation, thanks to machine learning technology. This makes it easier to exploit multimedia content. As a result, data categories that are set to grow massively in the future and whose analysis is still largely neglected by companies today, can be used efficiently. Extensive concept search as well as usage analytics further simplify handling. With these innovative AI functions, the digital banking and digital learning specialist is complementing its existing digital product portfolio.
On Tuesday, September 19th, after three weeks of hard work and networking, the ICC’2017 participants found out which teams the jury had selected among the winners of the challenge. The organizers of the ICC’2017 are proud to announce the following winning teams:
More than 300 people attended the forum and the 6 workshops have kept their promises.
Pepper, a robot of Idiap Research Institute, had the chance to present its point of view about Artificial Intelligence.
For this second edition, the focus will be on challenges and opportunities of "Small data". This interdisciplinary event will gather speakers and participants having to cope with small data with motivating applications in environment and geosciences, medicine, energy engineering, robotics and beyond.
Prof. Daniel Gatica-Perez recently presented the civique.org platform in local and international events.
An ICC'2017 participant, EyeViewPost-it, has been chosen to present its idea to a large audience at the TEDx Martigny Friday September 8, 2017.
The forum will take place on September 15th, 2017 at the hotel Vatel in Martigny.
The work described in this thesis takes place in the context of data-driven integration of linguistic knowledge and acoustic information for the pronunciation lexicon development.
The Idiap Research Institute published a paper in the International Conference on Machine Learning on a new Open-Science Web Platform.
The talk will take place at Idiap at 14H00, conference room 106
The DexROV team has just completed a 2 weeks long campaign of integration and tests in the DexROV project, with a satellite link established between Brussels and Marseille to enable far distance monitoring and control of an underwater robot.
The Idiap Research Institute has signed a new research agreement with BBC to evaluate the speaker recognition technology developed by the biometrics security & privacy group.
Dr Sylvain Calinon received the 2017 Best Paper Award of the Intelligent Service Robotics (ISR) journal for his article "A Tutorial on Task-Parameterized Movement Learning and Retrieval".
The Prof. Bart Vandereycken from the University of Geneva will give the talk entitled: Algorithms on manifolds: geometric means and recommender systems.
Matthias Vanoni, founder of Biowatch, participant and winner of the ICC'2014 International Create Challenge.
When speech processing systems are designed for use in multilingual environments, additional complexity is introduced. Identifying when language switching has occurred, predicting how cross-lingual terms will be pronounced, obtaining sufficient speech data from diverse language backgrounds: such factors all complicate the development of practical speech-oriented systems. In this talk, I will discuss our research group's experience in building speech recognition systems for the South African environment, one in which 11 official languages are recognised. I will also show how this relates to our participation in the BABEL project, a recent 5-year international collaborative project aimed at solving the spoken term detection task in under-resourced languages.
The Prof. Marelie Davel will give the talk entitled: Multilingual speech recognition in under-resourced environments
Michael Liebling has been appointed Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB).
The "Diamond" winner of the MassChallenge 2017 is Moka Studio.
