TA²LK: tool for the automatic analysis of linguistic aspects in children
In this project, we lay the foundation for the development of an AI tool for language analysis in children. This tool provides automatic and verbatim transcription of conversations with children and analyzes language to support professionals in their practical work.
With TA²LK, we aim to develop a Proof of Concept (tPoC) for an AI tool that enables automatic and verbatim (i.e., without error correction) transcription and analysis of conversations with children. This tool will support speech therapists in a more time-efficient and cost-effective assessment of child language, aiding in the diagnosis of language disorders and prescreening for language-related learning disorders. Additionally, verbatim transcription itself holds broader international market potential, especially for companies focusing on educational and communicative software or Speech-To-Text (STT) applications in e-health.
The AI tool will be hybrid, combining expert knowledge in children's language development (available at Arteveldehogeschool) with state-of-the-art AI techniques (available at UGent).
The tPoC will be evaluated and refined through an iterative process. Additionally, potential avenues for valorization through licensing and market expansion will be explored.
