This is the wiki page for topics to be discussed in the Speech Reading Group, starting Winter 2013.

The group is meant to offer an opportunity for people working on or interested in speech technology to interact and share ideas, with the goals of fostering a larger sense of community amongst speech researchers at UW, and allowing participants to become familiar with the breadth of research going on here and in the speech community at large.

We will cover any topics with some relation to speech research, including but not limited to:

• Speech Recognition
• Speech Production
• Feature Extraction
• Speech Enhancement/Separation
• Auditory scene analysis
• Speech Perception
• Cognitive Psychology of Speech

Administrative Meeting

There will be an initial administrative meeting as follows:

When: Thursday, January 10, 4:00 pm

Where: CSE 303

This meeting will be to gauge interest and size of the group, as well as to discuss some administrative matters, such as organization of the group, meeting times, location, and paper schedule.
