Australia leads the world in the adoption of speech recognition technology but sadly lags in the development of the fundamental advances in the area. This research will help propel Australia to the forefront of new innovations in speech recognition technology and contributions to fundamental science. Our project will provide an excellent training ground for graduate students and researchers, with the real possibility of significant commercial benefit to the nation. The deployment of our system in the community will greatly enhance the defence and police forces ability for surveillance and security, and will provide new assistive aids to improve the quality of life and safety for the elderly and disabled.Read moreRead less
Development of a three dimensional audio-visual next generation speech recognition system. To overcome the disadvantages of current Audio-Visual Speech Recognition Systems, we propose a set of robust algorithms in three dimensional computer vision and speech processing. The proposed system will have far-reaching implications in various areas, for example, human-machine interaction for speech recognition in automated dialog systems and voice-to-text conversions.
Real-time signal processing and distributed robotic telescope networking for co-detection of gravitational waves and their optical counterparts. An international collaboration of scientists will employ a global network of telescopes and detectors to search for ripples in space-time. The project will use novel computational tools to study exotic phenomena in the distant Universe.
