I am engaged in fundamental research and development and application projects in the field of speech technologies, development of advanced telecommunication services, and advanced intelligent interaction solutions in IoT environments. As part of this, I work in the DSPLab laboratory in areas, such as: automatic speech recognition, automatic speech synthesis, machine translation, multimodal dialogue systems, natural language processing, natural language generation, automatic speech behavior generation, conversational agents, machine learning, and artificial intelligence . As part of my research work, I am involved in the development of the PLATTOS TTS system, which is based on corpus-based speech synthesis, and uses non-uniform synthesis units. The system currently supports Slovenian, German and English. I am involved in building advanced resources for language technology systems. I participated in the development of the BABILON machine simultaneous speech translation system, which enabled machine simultaneous speech translation between Slovene and English or German with a restricted domain (in both directions). In the international consortium I also developed the RES system – ECESS Remote Evaluation System for TTS system’s Evaluation. I am the editor of the book “Coverbal synchrony in human-machine interaction”, and co-author of the scientific monograph “An expressive conversational-behavior generation model for advanced interaction within multimodal user interfaces”.
