About
Felipe Clemente is specialized in voice technology. Since 2010, he is working at brazilian companies focused on the development of ASR and TTS of Brazilian Portuguese (BP). As a computational linguistic and phonetician, he was on charge of developing phonetics issues regarding to these systems, like creating phonesets, rules for automatic phonetic transcriptions (grapheme to phoneme), evaluation of acoustic data, definition of written corpora, data mining, creation of n-grams language models and so on, all data set to BP. These companies were financed by institutions as Finep and Cnpq.
In 2009, he took his master's degree in Linguistics, with the thesis "Retroflexão gradiente nos róticos em coda no PB de Curitiba". This work focused over the acoustic analyses of R-sounds produced by speakers from Curitiba. The studies of R-sounds were a result of his graduation research about the "tap". Another important project Felipe has participated during graduation was "Psycholinguistic and Phonetic Aspects of Experimental Language Games", under the supervision of professor Maximiliano Guimarães and Andrew Nevis. This project was granted by Harvard University.
