Title: “Automatic Phonetization and segmentation of Arabic Text and Speech“.
By: Belal Al-Daradkah
Abstract: The large vocabulary phonetic corpus is an essential component of speech processing application.The research aims to generate an Arabic phonetic corpus based on Quran text. The corpus will be built using an automatic implemented pronunciation dictionary. We developed the phonetic dictionary automatically by applying Arabic pronunciation rules and Tajweed rules, and converting Grapheme to Phoneme. This will be the base of developing Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition (LVSR) .

Then our usual catch-up & Refresh on the PGRs activities, procedures, and upcoming events.

Title: “Exploring the co-creation of narrative using social technology“.		Our Trip to London (Natural History Museum)
By: Kwamena Appiah-Kubi		By: Amr Ahmed
Abstract: This is the first in a series of studies exploring collaborative creation of narratives by a group of people engaged in a shared experience such as on a tour in a museum, visiting a theme park etc. The group in this and a number of later studies have an existing relationship between them such as being friends, family, class/course mates etc. Some of the themes being investigated are anonymity, privacy and group dynamics as well as tools that can better support/enhance these shared experiences.
