In this episode of our Deep Learning Indaba Series, we’re joined by Herman Kamper, lecturer at Stellenbosch University in SA and a co-organizer of the Indaba.

We discuss his work on limited- and zero-resource speech recognition, how those differ from regular speech recognition, and the tension between linguistic and statistical methods in this space. We also dive into the specifics of the methods being used and developed in Herman’s lab.
