ViaDialog becomes the first private French sponsor of SpeechBrain!
ViaDialog is very proud to be the first French private sponsor of the SpeechBrain project, which is significantly revolutionizing the field of Voice Artificial Intelligence.
What is the SpeechBrain project?
The SpeechBrain project is an open science initiative focused on Speech Processing, presented as an evolving toolbox that leverages advanced deep learning frameworks.
Titouan Parcollet, associate professor at the Avignon Computer Science Laboratory (LIA) and co-founder of SpeechBrain alongside Mirco Ravanelli, shares:
"We are very pleased to have ViaDialog as the first French private sponsor. Since the official launch of SpeechBrain in March 2021, we have seen unprecedented momentum within the Speech community. The collaboration with ViaDialog will help accelerate the industrialization of SpeechBrain and allow us to explore new topics together."
—Titouan Parcollet, Co-founder of SpeechBrain
On her side, Ariane Nabeth-Halber, head of ViaDialog's AI department, explains:
"ViaDialog's AI department is growing rapidly to deliver radical innovations for customer relationship management, where voice and conversational interfaces play a central role. ViaDialog already offers the most robust natural language voice system on the market, with sovereign technology, production volumes in the millions of calls per month, and state-of-the-art NLU (Natural Language Understanding). The partnership with SpeechBrain was a natural fit for us, as it represents the core of innovation where researchers are pushing the boundaries of speech technology. This partnership allows us to contribute to an open science project while ensuring hyper-innovative and sovereign services for our clients."

ViaDialog signed this SpeechBrain sponsorship with the University of Avignon and the Avignon Computer Science Laboratory (LIA), where Titouan Parcollet conducts his research on the SpeechBrain project and his work on self-supervised learning. The LIA is actively researching voice, speech, and end-to-end approaches.
