Como parte de la evaluación de los trabajos realizados en el proyecto ELKARTEK Mintzai tenemos una prueba de evaluación de comprensión de textos una vez reconocidos en un idioma, traducidos y sintetizados. Hay dos versiones diferentes, una para señales en castellano y otra para euskera. En cada una de ellas, se presentan seis audios y hay que contestar a tres preguntas sobre cada uno de ellos. Tras rellenar los datos en la primera pantalla, hay que escuchar dos veces el primer audio, contestar a tres preguntas de elección múltiple sobre el contenido y pasar a escuchar dos veces la siguiente señal, así hasta terminar con las seis disponibles. Cada evaluación lleva unos 20 minutos como máximo.
Las direcciones WEB de las evaluaciones son:
Castellano https://aholab.ehu.eus/users/test_mintzai_ES/
Euskera https://aholab.ehu.eus/users/test_mintzai_EU/
Necesitamos un número elevado de evaluadores para conseguir resultados robustos, así que por favor, haced el test y pasárselo a todo aquel que creais que puede participar. Si sois bilingües haced, por favor, ambas evaluaciones y si no, la del idioma que dominéis.
Muchas gracias
Ebaluazioen web helbideak ondorengoak dira:
Gazteleraz: https://aholab.ehu.eus/users/test_mintzai_ES/
Euskaraz: https://aholab.ehu.eus/users/test_mintzai_EU/
Ebaluatzaile kopuru handia behar dugu emaitza sendoak lortzeko. Beraz, mesedez, egin testa eta pasa parte har dezakeela uste duzuen guztiei. Elebidunak bazarete, egin bi ebaluazioak, mesedez, eta bestela, menperatzen duzuen hizkuntzarena.

Congratulations!
Ikerbasque – the Basque Foundation for Science, has launched a new call offering 20 positions for postdoctoral researchers.
These five year Fellowships are directed to promising young researchers; they are intended to offer a track towards a PI role and independent research.
For more information:
Inma has presented a video in the Chair of Scientific Culture, in the frame of the #Zientzialari program, where basque researchers explain basic scientific concepts.
“The fundamental objective of the ENRICH network is to modify or augment speech with additional information to make it easier to process.”
The network will train 14 PhD students and give them not just the necessary cross-disciplinary knowledge and research skills, but also experience of entrepreneurship and technology transfer so they can translate research findings into products and services that will help everybody communicate successfully.
Codefest summerlab is over! As a result there are two more languages (Gaelic and Basque Navarro-Lapurdian) added to our ZureTTS Voice Bank.
Thank you all for your wonderful work!

CONGRATULATIONS!
The celebration party will take place at the beach in the near future (beach and date to be set).
The next 19th of december Dr. Björn Schuller form Munich University of Technology will give a seminar supported by the TICRM Master called “Computational Paralinguistics: Emotion, Affect and Personality in Speech and Language Processing”. This course will take place in P3B2S lecture theatre of the school, from 9:00 to 13:00.
The objective of this course is to give a comprehensive introduction and broad overview on recent algorithms and methodologies of “real‐life” speech processing, focusing on paralinguistic aspects.
Since September the young researcher Richard Castro from the University of Cuzco has been with us to develop a TTS for the Quechua language. Next Thursday he will be presenting his work at the Faculty of Informatics, in Donostia. For more information follow this link.

The Seminar Audio-Visual Speech Synthesis imparted by Dr. Michael Pucher will be held in July 5th-6th 2011 in Bilbao, Spain, in the Dep. of Electronics and Telecomunications.
This seminar will introduce the methods and problems in audio-visual speech synthesis. In audio-visual speech synthesis we aim at generating an acoustic (speech) and visual (facial motion) signal of a person speaking. We will first introduce visual speech synthesis and then discuss how visual and acoustic speech synthesis can be combined within the hidden Markov model (HMM) framework.
