PhD Thesis
Topic
Automatic Speech Recognition for Dialectal Arabic
Status
completed
Description
Although many people just talk about "Arabic" as a language, there are many quite different dialects. The target of the thesis is to build a speech recognition system that tries to support as many types of Arabic as possible. A specific focus is placed on those dialects spoken in Egypt, Iraq and Saudi-Arabia.
Research Interests
- Automatic Speech Recognition
