After a long time

After a long time I am writing this blog . Actually these days I am busy with my research works . Currently I am doing research on Machine Translation and I have started my work on Speech Processing . Though speech processing is not a easy task . At first you have to read some books on Digital Signal Processing and signal processing books . Actually speech processing is a robust task . Its a part of Natural Language Processing . It needs some linguistics knowledge and also some engineering woks . Actually our goal will be speech to speech processing . Source speech to source text conversion , source text to Target text conversion and Target text to Target speech conversion . These are the basic building blocks of Speech to Speech TRanslation . My another research interest in MAchine learning . Specially domain adaptation and other ML theorems like HHM ( Hidden Markov Model ) , MEMM ( Maximum Entropy Markov Model ) CRF ( Conditional Random Field ) . These are basically machine learning rules . These are all related to Probabilistic models . Coming back to speech to speech translation interest , verbmobil is a project basically dealing with some foreign languages speech to speech translation system in built in Mobile Technology . Though it was started at early 2000 , but I don't have a clear understandings of their system . Actually I have started reading a text book on verbmobil system . Currently I am reading a book named Theory and Application of Digital Speech Processing . And also I have bought a book named Springer Hand Book of Speech Processing . These books are costly . My Natural Language Processing Lab has supported me the financial help to bought these and many others books for lab . I am thankful to my LAB.
