| L.A.R.C.S. Research  The activities of the lab are interdisciplinary and involve three major projects:  1) Implementation of the STEMMA model as a multi-lingual semio-syntactic parser, to be used as a component of the text-processing module of a  speech synthesizer to predict  prosodic contours for synthetic speech (see Speech Prosody 2008 Conference session under: Events). 2) Investigate  systematic association of elementary prosodic contours to stemmatic components across languages (in collaboration with  the Case Speech Production Lab). 3) Realization of  a robot  capable of navigating through the world, with an   internal representation of its world, able to identify a limited number of action schemas in the world (see Cognitive Robotics Lab).     Website created and maintained by Patrizia Bonaventura and Per Aage Brandt  Revised 5/27/08  |
