Speech recognition
Our goal is to generally improve the speech recognition methodology with the help of the new algorithms developed in Aalto University. Speech recognition offers challenging benchmarking tasks for efficient algorithms that can process and learn to represent large quantities of data. In addition to improving the acoustic models of phonemes we aim at developing new learning statistical language models for difficult large vocabulary continuous speech recognition tasks.

Research Overview
We currently specialize in the following research areas in speech recognition:
- Sub-word units and deep learning in language modeling
- Speaker adaptation and pronunciation rating in acoustic modeling
- Unlimited vocabulary continuous speech recognition
- Speech recognition and language modeling methods for under-resourced languages
- Methods for describing and translating audiovisual
- Speaker and language recognition and diarization
We are part of Finnish Center of Artificial Intelligence (FCAI, ).
