********************************************************************
Philips is active in speech recognition and speech understanding,
both in research and business. The speech recognition group is a
department of our research organisation of 400 employees on
site. It has identified projects on large vocabulary continuous
speech recognition for several European languages (speech to text),
small vocabulary (command and control), and natural dialogue systems.
We have available speech databases (basic and annotated data)
and lexical databases (basic and annotated). Computer equipment
consists of DEC workstations under UNIX.
International links exist via ARPA benchmarking evaluations in
speech recognition, European collaboration in both Speech and Language
under ESPRIT and TELEMATICS, research links with France, UK, Italy,
The Netherlands, national research links with ASL-Vermobil and MoTiv,
and local research links with the Technical University. Internally,
we are linked to several business units marketing speech recognition,
among them Philips Speech Processing (Aachen and Vienna).
The Research Department has the responsibility of developing the core
speech recognition and spoken language capabilities which we use in
our products. The division concentrates on applied
research with relevance to real world problems.
The Research Labs are located in Aachen, Germany, a city of
250,000 inhabitants reknown for its historic roots and ambiente
as well as for one of Germany's best-reputed technical universities.
Being beautifully located near the Eifel mountains in the
German/Belgium/Dutch triangle, Aachen offers as well
easy accessibility to the near metropolitain areas of
Cologne (80 km), Duesseldorf (90 km), Brussels (120 km)
and Maastricht (30 km) via international trains and motorways,
and further airtravel connections from these four cities.
