Language and Voice Lab
Research group at Reykjavik University working on speech and language technology for Icelandic.
Research
Research themes, lab affiliations, and collaborations in speech signal processing and speech technology.
Research themes
Speech Signal Processing
Analysis of the speech signal and of the voice source itself: estimating how the glottis opens and closes, separating source from filter, and characterising voice quality.
- Glottal closure and opening instants
- Glottal inverse filtering
- Voice quality
Speech, Health and Cognitive State
Using acoustic and voice-source features to study how cognitive load and mental health conditions are reflected in speech.
- Cognitive workload in speech
- Depression and anxiety in speech
Speech Recognition and Synthesis
Recognition and synthesis methods that work for languages with limited data and resources, with Icelandic as the primary case.
- Speech recognition with limited resources
- Speech vocoding
- Text-to-speech synthesis for Icelandic
- Speech recognition for Icelandic
