Google at Interspeech 2019
Sunday, September 15, 2019
Andrew Helton, Editor, Google Research Communications
This week, Graz, Austria hosts the
20th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association
(Interspeech 2019), one of the world‘s most extensive conferences on the research and engineering for spoken language processing. Over 2,000 experts in speech-related research fields gather to take part in oral presentations and poster sessions and to collaborate with streamed events across the globe.
As a Gold Sponsor of Interspeech 2019, we are excited to present 30 research publications, and demonstrate some of the impact speech technology has made in our products, from accessible, automatic video captioning to a more robust, reliable Google Assistant. If you’re attending Interspeech 2019, we hope that you’ll stop by the Google booth to meet our researchers and discuss projects and opportunities at Google that go into solving interesting problems for billions of people. Our researchers will also be on hand to discuss Google Cloud Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-text, demo
Parrotron
, and more. You can also learn more about the Google research being presented at Interspeech 2019 below (Google affiliations in
