Naver Demonstrates AI Technology Excellence at International Conference

[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Naver announced on the 2nd that it presented 10 papers at the international speech signal processing conference 'Interspeech 2020.'

Naver stated, "Research results covering various speech signal-related fields such as speech recognition, speech synthesis dataset model performance evaluation metrics have been accepted," adding, "The large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) research investments steadily conducted over several years are showing visible results."

In particular, the speech recognition research results are applied to services such as the 'Clova AI Speaker' and 'Naver Voice Search.' Speech synthesis-related technology is applied as a core technology in services like 'News Text Reading' and 'Clova Dubbing.'

Additionally, the data used to develop the AI service that answers store calls on behalf of small business owners, called 'ClovaCall,' was also accepted as a paper.

The paper titled 'FaceFilter: Speech Separation Using a Single Image,' which was a collaborative research effort by Naver researchers Junseon Jeong and Soyeon Choi and Yonsei University professors Honggu Kang and Suhwan Jeong, was selected as the 'Best Student Paper' at this event.

Ha Jungwoo, leader of Naver AI Lab, said, "A culture that allows free focus on mid- to long-term pioneering research and continuous large-scale investment expansion in AI technology are leading to research results recognized on the international stage," adding, "We are currently making even larger-scale AI technology investments, including the recent establishment of the AI Lab and the introduction of supercomputing for the first time among domestic companies. We will further advance our services and contribute to expanding the global AI ecosystem."
