IIITH researchers turn stethoscope into a tool that can help people speak

A team of researchers from the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad has developed an innovative Silent Speech Interface (SSI) that can convert non-audible murmurs into vocalised speech.
This groundbreaking technology has the potential to improve communication for people with speech impairments.

IIITH develops AI tool to mine information from documents

AI has been put into play by researchers at IIITH, to demonstrate how information can be quickly mined from documents. While the AI process developed by them was used to analyse, extract and tag information from documents of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the researchers pointed out that it can be easily applied to many other domains such as health, scientific literature, manuals etc. The researchers developed a multi-layer Applied Semantics Extraction and Analytics (ASEA) framework for document processing with the support of JP Morgan AI Faculty Research Award.
