Organized by the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, DS & AI IcfaiTech Hyderabad-501203

Overview

Speech Processing and Natural language processing (NLP) is a widely used technology for personal assistants that are used in various business fields/areas. This technology works on the speech provided by the user, breaks it down for proper understanding and processes accordingly. This is a very recent and effective approach due to which it has a really high demand in today’s market. Speech and Natural Language Processing is an upcoming field where already many transitions such as compatibility with smart devices, interactive talks with a human have been made possible. The need for automation is never ending courtesy of the amount of work required to be done these days. Speech Processing and NLP is a very favorable, but aspect when it comes to automated applications. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field that combines computer science, linguistics, and machine learning to study how computers and humans communicate in natural language. The goal of Speech Processing and NLP is for computers to be able to interpret and generate human language.

Objectives

The objective of this Faculty Development Program (FDP) is to acclimatize the faculties and researchers with emerging trends of the Natural Language Processing and Speech Processing by promoting their interactions with eminent speakers and experts from IITs, NITs, industries and premium institution of abroad. The sessions will include various case studies and hands on presentation of innovative applications in the field of Natural Language Processing and Speech Processing. Additionally, FDP will also help the faculties and researchers to inculcate different idea in their teaching and research by attaining the knowledge of the various facets of the Natural Language Processing and Speech Processing.
