Le projet VOTONA est un projet de maturation avec Toulouse Tech Transfert et l’entreprise Poétie. Dans ce projet, l’équipe SAMoVA propose ses outils de traitement de l’audio pour développer une solution temps réel embarquée. Cette solution permet la reconnaissance automatique des intentions produites par le lecteur d’une histoire pour enfant. Ces différentes intentions guident alors un environnement musical qui s’adapte
1 Context and objectives The ADAPT project (« Aide à l’Analyse et au DiAgnostic de la Parole pathologique pour les Thérapeutes ») is based on the PATY platform (Plateforme de traitement de Parole ATYpique, site: https://paty.irit.fr/demo/), developed in 2021 by the SAMoVA Team (Figure 1). Figure 1- PATY platform PATY is an online audio processing platform whose objective is to provide automatic
Lightly-supervised and Unsupervised Discovery of Audio Units using Deep Learning (ANR-18-CE23-0005-01) Main issues and objectives These last years, deep learning (DL) has become the state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) paradigm when applied in supervised settings to data with a latent structure, in image, video, audio and speech processing. In order to deploy deep learning solutions in problems for which
Pharyngo-Laryngeal Effectiveness – Non Invasive Device Context and objectives Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a major public health problem. This swallowing disorder affects the elderly (50%) and patients with neurological disorders and head and neck cancer (80%), with the main complications being respiratory infections and undernutrition. These complications lead to long hospitalizations, the use of antibiotics and industrial modified food, and increased mortality rates in these
Foreign Language Learning assisted by Artificial Intelligence Apprentissage des Langues Assisté par Intelligence Artificielle ALAIA is a joint laboratory between IRIT and Archean Technologies. Funded by the ANR, the French Research Agency, for 3 years, this LabCom started in March 2019. ALAIA is based on the synergy between the SAMoVA team and Archean Labs, R&D department of Archean Technologies. Main issues and objectives The core of
Validity of a task of acoustic-phonetic decoding on anatomic deficits in paramedical assessment of speech disorders for patients treated for oral or oropharyngeal cancer Context and objectives Cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract is the fifth most common cancer in terms of incidence in France (HAS 2009). Due to their location, they impact the patients’ speech abilities (Mlynarek, 2008). In
Main issues and objectives Context The main complaint of adults with hearing loss is difficulty understanding speech in noise. Restoring intelligibility in noise for the elderly is now a public health issue, due to the increase in social isolation, depression and dementia among patients without hearing aids. Hearing aids currently play a beneficial role in preventing cognitive over-decline, but one
Main issues and objectives Context Cognitive complaints are frequently reported by patients in remission or treated over the long term with targeted anti-cancer therapies, grouped under the term “chemobrain”. They usually appear discreet but are nevertheless disabling in everyday life or during professional recovery, constituting what is called an “invisible handicap” but nevertheless very real for patients. Their identification requires
Looking for Relevant linguistic Units to improve the intelliGiBIlity measurement of speech production disorders Main issues and objectives In the context of the speech production disorders observed in ENT cancers, neurological, sensory or structural pathologies, the objective of the RUGBI project is to make improvements to the measurement of the intelligibility deficit. Indeed, speech production disorders can lead to a serious loss
Impact of gestures on the pronunciation of foreign language learners Main issues and objectives Context The issue of associating gesture and speech in a second language learning context (L2) emerged from a workshop organized by the project partners involved at different levels in L2 learning. Starting from a first reflection on the technical possibilities of combining gesture production and pronunciation
