Modelos de evolución de la Tecnología del Habla, y tendencias futuras

This talk proposes a common model for describing the evolution of different technologies involved in Speech Technology. The proposed model describes the evolution from a general knowledge of basic language theory concepts that is combined with powerful datadriven processing algorithms. After presenting the overall technological success of speech coding, synthesis and recognition, we discuss the main future research and development actions to promote new Speech Technology applications. We foresee an increasing degree of interaction with Text Technology and new challenges in the design of more robust and more natural multimodal interfaces.
