NewsNew keynote speaker for HCSNet Workshop
We are pleased to announce that Dr Roland Goecke from the University of Canberra will be giving a presentation with Professor Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson from the University of British Columbia at the HCSNet Advances in Speech Production: Tools, Techniques and Recent Research Workshop. Dr Goekcke has recently been a successful ARC LIEF grant recipient that grew from one of the funding successes of the HCSNet Interdisciplinary support via SummerFests and some prior workshops. The presentation that Roland Goecke and Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson will give will be directly relevant to the issue of collecting AV speech data (the key aim of the LIEF grant) - something that should be of interest to all those involved in the conducting the LIEF research project.
