PT-STAR – Speech Translation Advanced Research to and from Portuguese
Luísa Coheur,
Inesc-ID –
Abstract:
Every year more than a billion Euros is spent translating documents and interpreting speeches by European institutions. Also, about half of the Europeans speak only its own language. Just these two facts per se are a strong motivation for the fostering of Speech-to-Speech Machine Translation (S2SMT) technologies, which aim at enabling natural language communication between people that do not share the same language.
S2SMT can be seen as a cascade of three major components: Automatic Speech Recognition, Machine Translation and Text-to-Speech Synthesis. One of the main problems of this multidisciplinary area, however, is the still weak integration between the three components. Hence the main goal of PT-STAR is to improve speech translation systems for Portuguese by strengthening this integration.
During this talk we will present the main achievements within PT-STAR project until now and we will show a real time demo.

Upcoming Events
Workshop “Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango” – 2nd Edition
Title: Workshop Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango – 2nd Edition
Dates: October 25-26, 2022
Location: This workshop will be held in a virtual way
The topic of this workshop is metabolism in general, with a special focus, although not exclusive, on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects, the workshop will also aim at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.
This workshop is being organised in the context of two projects, both with the Inria European Team Erable. One of the projects involves a partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP), in São Paulo, Brazil, more specifically the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences – Inria Associated Team Capoeira – and the other involves the Inesc-ID/IST in Portugal, ETH in Zürich and EMBL in Heidelberg – H2020 Twinning Project Olissipo.
The workshop is open to all members of these two projects but also, importantly, to the community in general.
The program and more details are available here.
