Presenting at Carnegie Mellon University

As part of a workshop, I was at CMU this October. I had the opportunity to present our idea to the faculty, graduate students and the student of the OurCS 2013 program. The poster consists of the conceptual idea without being developed and without final results. Which is fine to be presented at a workshop. This was the poster that I presented:

Also, I was working in a research during those three days on speech recognition, with Alan Black. We were working on automated methods for building new voices for speech synthesis. I synthesized my own sentences with Spanish accent. This helped me a lot to understand how Simon works. Besides, Simon used as a dependency a software that was created at CMU, Sphinx. Although Simon users do not have to worry about this process that happens internally when you train it.

We are currently developing the proof of concept between Simon and Caribou through AT-SPI. Because we are working with open source projects and we are also in mid-semester, we have taken time to prepare the environment to install both projects. By the end of the semester, at least, we'll have a fully functional Simon with applications that are compatible through the AT-SPI plugin as gedit.
