Title: Speech Processing and Analysis with Foundation Models for Applied Linguistics Research and Practice
Presenter: Ikkyu Choi (Educational Testing Service)
Description: This full-day workshop introduces the core concepts and practical techniques of speech processing and analysis. The morning session will focus on the fundamentals of acoustic phonetics and digital signal processing, with hands-on training to visualize and quantify key acoustic features. In the afternoon, participants will explore how to apply foundation models to real-world tasks such as automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech synthesis, and automated speech evaluation. Using open-source tools, participants will work with real-world datasets to implement these techniques in practice. By the end of the workshop, participants will have developed both a conceptual understanding and practical skills in speech processing and analysis to enhance and expand their research and professional practice.
