Paper Accepted in IEEE 64th International Scientific Conference on Information Technology and Management Science (ITMS 2023), Latvia

We are happy to announce that one of our papers titled “Initial Development and Performance Evaluation of a Bengali Voice-Operated Virtual Assistant for Personal Computer Control”, has been accepted in “IEEE 64th International Scientific Conference on Information Technology and Management Science (ITMS 2023)”, Latvia. This work was a joint collaboration between CCDS professor Dr. Ashraful Islam and collaborators from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA.

In this work, the authors conducted a preliminary development and performance evaluation of a personal computer assistant designed for voice-operated interaction in Bengali. A bespoke phonetic grammar has been devised to map Bengali phonemes onto English representations, and an algorithm has been developed to mitigate the confusion of the machine in recognizing the same type of phonetics in the language, which helps to enhance the precision in comprehending Bengali commands.
