Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics
Introduction of the Research Group
Our laboratory group is "old motorcyclist", we have been present at the Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics from the very beginning. Our main competencies are Hungarian-language speech communication and speech technology, human-machine, human-robot interfaces, customer service automation, assistive interfaces for blind, visually and speech-impaired users, as well as general statistical and modern machine learning algorithms. We place great emphasis on deep learning research and education. We have gained experience in several domestic and international projects in the fields of application of wider information communication (customer service automation, self-driving cars, etc.). Our technologies have been put into practice in the above areas for decades.
