Aholab is the short name of the Signal Processing Laboratory of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). The laboratory is located in Bilbao. We are a university research team and focus our research in the areas of Text to Speech Conversion, Speech and Speaker Recognition, and Speech Processing in general. Since 2005 we are a recognized research group of the Basque Research Network. The laboratory is part of the Basque Center for Language Technology (HiTZ) and the Department of Communications Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao (ETSI).
