Description

OBJECTIVES

This group, which began its activity in the early 1990s, originally focused its attention on basic lines of research related to Speech Recognition and Shape Recognition. As an evolution of this initial nucleus, the PROLETHA group subsequently arose and, from 1998, it became a recognized group within the Department of Informatics under the name stated in this application: ECA-SIMM. Since 1998 the group's objectives cover the real lines of activity of its members and collaborators. Special emphasis is placed on technology transfer activities and this justifies the agreements that, even on a reduced scale, have been established with external entities for development and innovation activities in the group's field of interest (Cortes de Castilla y León and School of Public Administrations).

In summary, the group is constituted as a nucleus of researchers interested in Research, Development and Innovation in one of the following areas:

Advanced Computing: Parallel and distributed programming. High performance computing. Structured programming models. Application to problems of high computational cost.
Human-Machine Interaction: Human-Computer Interaction Systems. Dialogue Systems. Speech Language Technologies. Voice Recognition and Synthesis. Automatic Speaker Recognition. Computational prosody. Mobile and ubiquitous computing.
Graphic techniques: Virtual reality interfaces. Multimodal interaction with graphic environments.
Biometry: Biometric identification and verification techniques.

In the methodologies and techniques section, the group has proven experience and is interested in the problems of statistical recognition of shapes, using connectionist, stochastic and symbolic systems.

The fundamental objectives are summarized in the following:

Development of new algorithms and machine learning techniques applicable to automatic shape recognition problems of interest.
Development of systems of demonstration systems that illustrate the possibilities of the latest advances in human-computer interaction technology.
Transfer of results to companies and corporations that can improve their competitive position by incorporating innovative technologies in the group's area of specialization.

RESEARCH LINES
