Automatic speech recognition for scientific purposes - webASR

We present ‘webASR’, an online interface to our state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. It aims to provide the wider scientific research community with an interface to speech transcription for domains and applications where the generation of such transcripts was not previously feasible. The webASR interface allows the upload of audio files and, in turn, the download of auto...

Life Engine - Creating Artificial Life for Scientific and Entertainment Purposes

The Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory has become a fundamental tool in modeling the metabolic behaviour of organisms. Its capacity to describe the biological aspect of life alone justifies its applicability in Artificial Life. Aware of this potential, the DEB research group in Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon has joined the videogame company Biodroid Entertainment in the Life Engine ...

A Theorem Prover for Scientific and Educational Purposes

We present a prototype of an integrated reasoning environment for educational purposes. The presented tool is a fragment of a proof assistant and automated theorem prover. We describe the existing and planned functionality of the theorem prover and especially the functionality of the educational fragment. This currently supports working with terms of the untyped lambda calculus and addresses bo...
