Title and Abstract of this Talk:

Speech Technologies for Under-Resourced Languages: From Development to Application
Michael Bayona (Trinity College Dublin)

ABSTRACT

This talk introduces recent speech technologies with a focus on under-resourced languages, using low-resource ASR as a central case study. It will cover the basic pipeline from data and modelling choices through evaluation and deployment and will point to approaches that are particularly useful when training data are limited. Examples will be drawn from work on Philippine languages, with the aim of keeping the discussion concept-driven and accessible to an advanced undergraduate linguistics audience.
