My organisation

We develop novel methods that capture the subtleties of emotion, emphasis, power dynamics, and other non-verbal signals in speech. Our tools combine an expertise in computer science, data science, signal processing and linguistics. Our technology enhances man/machine interfaces, and is particularly useful for the hard of hearing and people on the autistic spectrum. The Weizmann Institute of Science is one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary basic research institutions in the natural and exact sciences. https://www.weizmann.ac.il/pages/about-institute
