Линиите свързват координатора с партньорите. За проекти отпреди 2014 г. CORDIS не винаги дава точни координати. Тези точки са на ниво град или държава.

Накратко на български

Механизмите на мозъка при разговор между хора или с изкуствен интелект се анализират чрез проследяване на мозъчната активност. Това помага за създаването на по-ефективни гласови синтезатори, диалогови системи и социални роботи.

COnversational BRAins

COBRA aimed to train the next generation of researchers to accurately characterize and model the linguistic, cognitive, and brain mechanisms deployed by human speakers during conversational interactions with both human interlocutors and artificial dialogue systems. It relied on a cross-sectoral international network of 11 world-class academic research centers and 4 non-academic partners, including 3 fast-growing SMEs and 1 global company. The unique combination of expertise and strong complementarity among the partners enabled COBRA to offer 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) an excellent training program, along with significant exposure to the non-academic sector in the emerging field of conversational neuroscience.The training covered scientific and technical skills, ranging from the joint monitoring of brain and physiological activities in two or more people conversing, to creating multilingual databases, resources, and tools made available in open access. It also included the development of transferable skills. The ESRs conducted experimental and corpus studies on the alignment and prediction processes that make conversations between people both easy and fluent, across a wide variety of communication settings and languages. This work contributed to a deeper understanding of how these processes help establish brain-to-brain coupling relationships. Collaborative efforts with non-academic partners fostered the development of more effective and socially acceptable text-to-speech synthesizers, artificial dialogue systems, and social humanoid robots with high-level conversational abilities. The project opened new career opportunities for the ESRs, providing interdisciplinary training in language sciences, neuroscience, and dialogue systems within a rapidly growing digital market. COBRA's training program also had significant societal implications, addressing aspects of European citizens' everyday lives, from spoken interactions with machines to conversations in non-native languages.

Цел на проекта

COBRA aims to train the next generation of researchers to accurately characterize and model the linguistic, cognitive and brain mechanisms deployed by human speakers in conversational interactions with human interlocutors as well as artificial dialog systems. It relies on a cross-sectoral international network of 11 world-level academic research centers and 4 non-academic partners with 3 fast-developing SMEs and 1 world-level company. The partners' unique combined expertise and high complementarity will allow COBRA to offer 15 ESRs an excellent training programme as well as strong exposure to the non-academic sector in the emerging field of conversational brains. Training will cover scientific and technical skills, from the joint monitoring of brain and physiological activities in two or more people talking to each other to making multi-language databases, resources and findings available in open access, as well as transferable skills. The ESRs will conduct experimental and corpus studies on the alignment and prediction processes that make conversation between people both easy and fluent, across a large variety of communicational settings and in different languages, to better understand how these processes contribute to setting up brain-to-brain coupling relationships. Collaborative work with non-academic partners will foster the development of more effective and socially acceptable text-to-speech synthesizers, artificial dialogue systems, and social humanoid robots with high-level conversational skills. The project will open new career perspectives for ESRs with interdisciplinary training in language sciences, neuroscience and dialog systems on a very fast-growing digital market. COBRA’s training programme will also have major societal implications as it will concern aspects of the European citizens’ everyday life, from spoken interactions with machines to conversing in a non-native language.
