The SLT-CODE Hackathon,.
The SLT-CODE Hackathon, held on January 7th and 8th, 2023, at QCRI in Doha, Qatar, focused on speech and language technologies. Our T.Y. ENTC team, consisting of Aditya Wayal, Rutuja Kothawade, Sachi Teke, and Vivek Tripathi, participated. Aditya and Sachi attended in person, while Rutuja and Vivek joined remotely, working on the project "Speech Disfluency Detection in Children" with mentor Mr. Jing Su.
During the hackathon, we used the Kaldi toolkit, receiving valuable feedback from participants, including a Q&A session with Kaldi expert Ms. Paola Garcia. Despite being the youngest participants, our team engaged with the toolkit's potential. We collaborated with Dr. Shrikant Joshi, our professor and group mentor, refining our project and presentation. On January 8th, the presentations took place, where we outlined our project's concept and blueprint. Despite being among the youngest contestants, our team confidently addressed the judges' queries, showcasing our dedication and learning from this enriching experience.
