SPEKTR

Our research group Spektr
studies casual speech processing. We focus on spoken word recognition and the structure of the mental lexicon.

We rely on
the theoretical principles of the Leningrad–St. Petersburg phonological school, the St. Petersburg psycholinguistic school, and the approach to studying speech processing proposed by L. A. Chistovich and V. A. Kozhevnikov
(A. I. Pavlov Institute of Physiology, Russian Academy of Sciences), which was subsequently developed further in the works of A. V. Ventsov and N. A. Slepokurova.

The main goal of our work is
the development of a functional model of spoken word recognition. We describe how a person recognizes everyday speech.

The methods of our research are
corpus data analysis, psycholinguistic experiments, and machine learning techniques.
