Speech Communication Group

The Speech Communication Group, part of the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT, is a multidisciplinary laboratory engaged in teaching and research on the production and perception of speech by humans and machines. Our approach is to combine the principles and tools of electrical engineering and computer science with the insights of linguistic theory and cognitive science to construct integrated models of the physics, physiology and cognition of speech processing.

This website is dedicated to documenting the Speech Communication Group’s work past and present, as a resource for the future, and to illustrating the fecundity of Ken Stevens’ ideas by presenting a record of the ongoing projects that they continue to inspire, along with the tools and resources currently in use in those projects.
