Excited to share that Arabic speech portal @Arabicspeech is now live. Great place to share data, code and search for latest papers. We are building a community to advance Arabic speech to be a world-class technology. Check it out: arabicspeech.org

Our own @ahmaksod will have strong presence at IEEE ICASSP 2019 in Brighton. He got three papers in, on emotion recognition, dialect identification, and representation learning for #speech

Interested in #nmt representations, #trustworthiness or Arabic #diacritization? We will have something for you in #naacl2019 as our team members will present papers on these three topics in Minneapolis

Closing session of #TII_10th even cooler than opening session: now we can read the speech-to-text MT output directly on our devices! Bravo ALT QUINTEROS, MARÍA CRI Stephan Vogel @TII_HBKU has set the bar high for academic conferences. I would like this option at all conferences now, please 😄

Thanks for your encouraging comments! And thanks to my colleagues in the QCRI ALT Group team at QCRI , who develop this system.

System developed by QCRI ALT Group at QCRI. Today we had amazing interpreters. But there are many situations when interpreters are not available. This is when speech translation technology can be extremely useful.

Wondering what is better than a conference on translation? A conferece on translation with live translation... Powered by QCRI! Find the news coverage here: qatar-tribune.com/news-details/i…

Now I need to run it though our system to be able to understand it. :-) QCRI ALT Group QCRI

Today we have a nice visit from University of Wolverhampton here, at QCRI: Dr. Ruslan Mitkov is talking about Language Technology applications with impact on society (incl. translation and interpretation)

We are happy to share a new achievement for our Arabic Language Technologies Department where Al-Jazeera’s Arabic Learning platform started using our programs for automated diacritization: learning.aljazeera.net/en Qatar Foundation جامعة حمد بن خليفة
