Speech processing for under-resourced languages is an active field of research, which has
experienced significant progress during the past decade. We propose, in this paper, a …

For many low-resource languages, spoken language resources are more likely to be
annotated with translations than transcriptions. This bilingual speech data can be used for …

Abstract The project Breaking the Unwritten Language Barrier (BULB), which brings together
