A joint team from NUS (Prof Li Haizhou) and NTU (Assoc Prof Chng Eng Siong), are developing a speech recognition system specifically designed to deal with the phenomenon of 'code-switching', the practice of changing languages mid-sentence, a feature highly relevant to Singapore!
This work recently was awarded an AI.SG funding of S$1.25million and when completed in 12 to 18 months, the system will be initially deployed with the SCDF to support its call center operations.
