Venue
Archimedes Amphitheatre (1 Artemidos Street, 15125, Marousi, Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece)

Archimedes NLP Theme Meeting:Invited talkTuesday 15July, 16:00-17:30 (Greek time)

Speaker: Eleanor Chodroff (https://www.eleanorchodroff.com/)

Title: "Scaling linguistic diversity for speech research with massively multilingual speech corpora"

Room: Amphitheater, Archimedes Unit (1 Artemidos str., ART1 building, ground floor)

and virtually via Microsoft Teams (meeting information shown below).

Dial-in information is not available for this meeting.

Abstract:

In recent years, the availability of large-scale, crosslinguistic speech corpora has grown significantly, opening up new opportunities for investigating crosslinguistic speech variation and phonetic typology. In this talk, I will present recent advancements in the development of these corpora, focusing on methodologies for annotating speech data from both low- and high-resource languages. I will discuss the challenges involved in processing diverse linguistic data, and share best practices for forced alignment and analysis. Additionally, I will highlight the empirical insights these corpora provide into phonetic diversity across languages with a focus on intrinsic vowel f0 and duration. Through these case studies, I will demonstrate how these resources are reshaping our understanding of phonetic variation and enabling new interdisciplinary research in phonetics, language typology, and speech technology.

About the speaker:

Eleanor Chodroff is an SNF Assistant Professor in the Department of Computational Linguistics at the University of Zürich. Her research focuses on the phonetics–phonology interface, cross-talker and cross-linguistic phonetic variation, speech prosody, and speech perception. A recurring theme in her research is the use of large spoken corpora and tools from speech technology to advance linguistic theory.
