LIUM

Computer Science Laboratory of Le Mans Université (LIUM) - Research group 4023

The Computer Science Laboratory, which is located in both Le Mans and Laval, is structured around two topics: TEL (Technology Enhanced Learning) and language processing (speech recognition and synthesis, speaker characterization, semantic extraction and machine translation).
LIUM is one of the few European laboratories able to perform speech translation in near real time, and it offers innovative applications in the field of educational technologies, e-learning and serious games. LIUM is internationally recognized for its research works, as demonstrated for instance by the prestigious European Innovation Radar prize earned in 2016 for the development and industrial deployment of a technology dramatically reducing the costs of speech recognition.
