PROJECTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS Here, you have several projects and demos I am currently involved in or I have been involved in the past: THOFU: Technologies for the HOtel of the FUture The main objective of this project is to design the hotel of the future, since its construction, its parts, the interaction with users, security and integration with its surroundings and the Internet. Gesfor Group leads this project with a budget of 23 million euros.In the project, our team will be involved in the work-package related to intelligent and adaptive interfaces within a high-tech hotel, researching on new paradigms of interaction and studying usability and user experience.
EmoLib: Emotion identification from text EmoLib is a library that extracts the affect and emotions from an incoming text by tagging such text according to the feeling that is written or being conveyed. EmoLib has been coded in the Java programming language.
evMIC: Multimodal, Immersive and Collaborative Virtual Environments The main objective of this project is to create an interoperable platform, user-centric, allowing the creation of virtual learning environments, overcoming the current limitations and aligning with the current definition of what will be "The Future Internet."Besides contributing to state-of-the-art documents on speech technologies, multimodal processing and graphics and virtual reality, our team is going to participate in developing interfaces to interact with the virtual environment involving expressive text-to-speech synthesis, multimodal affect analysis, and 3D avatars modelling and synthesis.
INREDIS: INterfaces for RElations between Environment and people with DISabilities The main objective of this project consists of developing grounding technologies to allow creating communication and interaction channels between disabled people and their environment. Technosite leads this project with a budget of 23.6 million euros.Besides contributing to detailed state-of-the-art documents on speech technologies, multimodal processing and graphics and virtual reality, our team is going to participate in developing applications involving expressive text-to-speech synthesis, multimodal affect analysis, and 3D avatars modelling and synthesis.
MD-TTS: Multi-Domain Text-To-Speech Synthesis by Automatic Domain Classification OK wav files stand for correct classification results with respect the manual labellings, whereas KO wav files stands for: i) neutral domain for HAPPY and SENSUAL files, and ii) wrong classification domain for MISSCL files. I would like to thank David García for his support when developing this web demo. MAGNUS: Mouse Advanced GNU Speech It is a speech controlled mouse pointer application through Catalan voice commands. This application aims to provide oral accessibility for people with reduced mobility.This project has been developed by Alexandre Trilla within his Master Thesis.
SAVE: Expressive AudioVisual Synthesis The project is focused on the research of a multimodal output interface with high expressivity content, which makes it possible to give a high naturality perception to the end user. The project proposes the study and development of a novel expressive audiovisual synthesis system based on a photo realistic talking head.Project granted by the Spanish Science and Technology Council (TEC2006-08043/TCM). Period: 2007 - 2009 SALERO: Semantic AudiovisuaL Entertainment Reusable Objects Our group is involved in this project to develop innovative Multilingual Text-to-Speech techniques for the achievement of expressive speech synthesis in the cross media-production framework (e.g. movies, games, broadcast, etc.)
VIRTUAL WEATHERMAN: SAM Automatic service for weather forecast on demand (TV, Internet and mobile devices) by means of a virtual speaker called Sam.Our group has developed the corpus-based Text-to-Speech system embedded in the forecast application.
IntegraTV-4all Adapted leisure, information and remote assistance services via a television set, with advanced natural language voice communication functionalities for people with sensory disabilities and the aged.Our group has developed an audio-visual alarm clock, which integrated in the hotel TV menu, as a result of improving our previous virtual speaker (see virtual speaker section).
VIRTUAL SPEAKER Here you can download three videos of the first version of our realistic virtual speaker:
ONLINE TEXT-TO-SPEECH SYNTHESIS (CATALAN) Interactive demo for synthesizing an input text in Catalan. It generates an audio file, which can be downloaded. Moreover, the demo allows the specification of different speech parameters, like rythm and emotion.
WEIGHT TUNING INTERFACE FOR SPEECH SYNTHESIS (CATALAN) This is a web platform, based on evolutive computation, which has beend designed to find the optimal weight configuration of the cost function for unit selection text-to-speech synthesis:
ITP - Speech Processing Interface This is an interface for speech labelling (automatic and/or manual). Pitch marks, phoneme boundaries, pitch curve, spectogram and prosodic features are some of the speech parameters that can be extracted by means of this interface.It runs under Windows platforms.
ALGTEC (ALGEBRA & TECHNOLOGY) ALGTEC is a multimedia application that helps and motivates the engineering student for the learning of Algebra concepts. It describes some Algebra concepts applied to technologic situations by means of a virtual teacher.
