Quaero
Quaero is a program promoting research and industrial innovation on technologies for automatic analysis and classification of multimedia and multilingual documents.
The partners collaborate on research and the realisation of advanced demonstrators and prototypes of innovating applications and services for access and usage of multimedia information, such as spoken language, images, video and music.
The program fosters strong synergies between participating industrial partners and research organisations. Demonstrators and prototypes allow evaluating the market readiness and technological maturity of the research and development results. Feedback from the evaluation is taken into account for establishing and adjusting the research and development priorities.

CASSIS
The aim of the CASSIS project is to work on silent speech interfaces in order to enable confidential human-human communication as well as to compensate for phonation loss. The basic challenge is to convert multimodal signals (brain or muscular activities, orofacial movements, contact sounds, etc) gathered during silent or quasisilent articulation into an audible signal or a phonological representation of what has been said.
