Project Details
DARPA Robust Automatic Transcription of Speech (RATS) - RATS Patrol I
Project Period: 23. 9. 2010 – 30. 6. 2014
Project Type: contract
Partner: Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp
speech recognition, speaker recognition, language recognition, keyword spotting, robustness, noise, transmission channels
Existing speech signal processing technologies are inadequate for most noisy or degraded speech signals that are important to military intelligence. The Robust Automatic Transcription of Speech (RATS) program is creating algorithms and software for performing the following tasks on potentially speech-containing signals received over communication channels that are extremely noisy and/or highly distorted: Speech Activity Detection, Language Identification, Speaker Identification and Key Word Spotting.
