Presentation
by Francisco Casacuberta and Enrique Vidal, PRHLT directors.
The Pattern Recognition and Human Language Technology (PRHLT) research group is composed by researchers from the Departamento de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación(DSIC) of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV), from the Instituto Tecnológico de Informática (ITI).
The main research areas of interest of PRHLT are:- Multimodal Interaction
- A Pattern Recognition framework aiming at assistive, rather than full automation technologies. Read more.
- Machine Translation
- Speech-to-speech, text-to-text and computer assisted language translation. Read more.
- Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and Document Analysis
- Technologies for the recognition of unsegmented (off-line) text images and (on-line) electronic pen signals. Read more.
- Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding
- Technologies for applications such as: telephone exchange services, device control by voice, spoken information queries, etc. Read more.
- Image Analysis and Computer Vision
- Technologies for applications such as: medical diagnosis, biometric identification, image and video retrieval, etc. Read more.
A detailed description of our research activities can be found in the PRHLT presentation slides.
PRHLT is collaborating with important research groups of Spain and the European Community in speech recognition and translation. PRHLT is a non-beneficiary member of the PASCAL2 network.
PRHLT is involved in a number of projects with public and private budgets. In particular with EU through a ESPRIT and FP projects, and with the Spanish government through CICYT projects. PRHLT has developed different prototypes and products for speech recognition and translation, fingerprint identification and quality control of industrial manufacturing.
PRHLT is the leader of the Consolider-Ingenio 2010 project MIPRCV, founded by the Spanish Government, and the Prometeo project ALMPR, founded by the Valencian Government. The PRHLT has developed different prototypes and products for speech recognition and translation, fingerprint identification and quality control of industrial manufacturing.
