Idiap at INTERSPEECH 2021

(August 30 - September 3, 2021, Brno, Czech Republic)

Idiap's speech group will be presenting six papers at Interspeech 2021. Our papers address a variety of research problems in automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, pathological and physiological speech processing, etc.

The conference is organised in a HYBRID FORM - the conference will happen both physically in Brno and virtually, giving the opportunity to connect to all of you that won’t be able to make it to Brno.
