Project details
Short description
There are an increasing number of people across Europe with debilitating
speech pathologies (e.g., due to stroke, Parkinson's, etc). These
groups face communication problems that can lead to social exclusion.
They are now being further marginalised by a new wave of speech
technology that is increasingly woven into everyday life but which is
not robust to atypical speech. TAPAS is a Horizon 2020 Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network European Training
Network (MSCA-ITN-ETN) project that aims to transform the well being of
these people.
TAPAS adopts an inter-disciplinary and
multi-sectorial approach. The consortium includes clinical
practitioners, academic researchers and industrial partners, with
expertise spanning speech engineering, linguistics and clinical science.
All members have expertise in some element of pathological speech. This
rich network will train a new generation of 15 researchers, equipping
them with the skills and resources necessary for lasting success.
