SYSTEC Researchers Proposal Approved for FCT Funding

Proposal by the SYSTEC researchers entitled “Speech recognition for the sound reconstructed using a bio-inspired geometric model” has been approved by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia in the framework of the Call on Advanced Computing Projects: Artificial Intelligence in Cloud (2nd edition), more info here. Credits on the Google Cloud Platform equivalent to USD 74.100 have been granted. The call was intended to support research projects in Natural Language Processing, Ethics in artificial intelligence and other scientific areas where the Google Cloud Platform facilities in artificial intelligence and data analysis algorithms are useful. The granted computational resources will be used at the SYSTEC to solve computationally demanding problems involving machine learning methods in the framework of an international collaboration with French Universities. The computational project will be executed under coordination by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Roman Chertovskih and Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. Rui Jorge Pereira Gonçalves.
