WHAT IS ARCHER?

ARCHER (Advancing Robust and Creative Human Language Technologies through Challenge Events and Research) is an innovative research initiative dedicated to pushing the boundaries of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). By leveraging state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and machine learning, ARCHER aims to enhance the accuracy, adaptability, and robustness of speech-to-text technologies across diverse environments and languages.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between human speech and digital systems, making interactions with technology more seamless, natural, and accessible for everyone.

Why HLT challenges matter?

Human Language Technologies (HLT) are crucial because they enable machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language, making easier the communication between people and computers. These  technologies can help enhancing  communication and accessibility, improving productivity and automation, advancing information retrieval and analysis, enabling AI-driven decision making and supporting education and learning among other aspects. With the fast growth in the use of AI, HLT is becoming even more essential in making human-computer interaction more natural and efficient with tools like:

  • Speech-to-text and text-to-speech systems.
  • Chatbots and virtual assistants.
  • Sentiment analysis.
  • Named Entity Recognition.
  • Machine translation.
  • Document recognition.
