LIPS

Language Interaction Speech and Signe (LIPS)

Coordination : Ioana VASILESCU

The scientific challenges of the LIPS team concern oral, spoken and signed languages, with the aim of linguistic description and modeling. We are targeting a variety of applications such as speech recognition, dialogue systems, automatic detection of affective states, comprehension and generation, speech synthesis and automatic processing of sign languages. The ethical dimension is at the heart of our work, from the setting up of experimental paradigms to the use of our research results.

The team brings together researchers in automatic language processing and linguists around approaches centered on the situated dimension of language: we call on a variety of data, of different sizes and from different sources, illustrating linguistic variation in all its dimensions, from minimal units to meaning.

Multimodal processing involving the combinatorial written and spoken variety of languages spoken, as well as other visual information (e.g. occulometry), is also at the heart of our concerns.

The team comprises 13 permanent members (CNRS researchers, teacher-researchers at Université Paris-Saclay), 17 PhD researchers, and 13 contract researchers. We maintain links with industry (theses under CIFRE contracts, research projects) and regularly organize scientific events.
