Keller |
Born in Basel, Switzerland, and educated in Switzerland, the U.S., the Netherlands, Canada, and Germany, Eric Keller obtained a Ph.D. in Linguistics with a specialisation in psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics from the University of Toronto in 1975. He deepened his interests in the neurosciences with a postdoctorate in motor physiology at the University of Ulm (1976-1978) and a second course in clinical psychology at McGill and Concordia universities in Montreal (1979-1983) which he completed with “all but dissertation” (ABD). From 1978-1990, he taught psycholinguistics, phonetics and computer science at the University of Quebec at Montreal. In 1991, he founded the Section for Computer Science and Mathematical Methods, Faculté des Lettres, at the University of Lausanne (now integrated into Section des sciences du langage et de l'information link). In both universities, he obtained the equivalent of "full professor" status. In research, his interests revolved around the brain sciences and artificial intelligence. Initially he was concerned with the psycho- and neurolinguistic modelling of prosodic and acoustic structures of speech in normal and brain-damaged speakers (aphasia and dysarthria). He is the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of well over 100 publications in this domain. This part of his career was marked by his co-development of an ultrasound measurement device for tongue action in speech, and by his explorations of the details of lingual speech motor control in normal and pathological speakers. He subsequently became known in the speech community as the author of a speech analysis program called "Signalyze". This user-friendly program permitted researchers to discover the details of the acoustic and articulatory structure of speech by simple, personal exploration. During the 1990s and into the first decade of the 21st century, he directed and performed fundamental research in artificial intelligence, particularly in speech analysis and speech synthesis. Between 1997 and 2001, he chaired a European COST project involving 17 countries and some 30 laboratories in the area of improvements in speech synthesis (COST 258). He is a recipient of the Kay Elemetrics Award, attributed on recommendation of the International Society for Phonetic Sciences (ISPhS) for his work in the phonetic sciences. In 2008 Eric Keller was granted the prestigious distinction of "Professeur honoraire de L'Université de Lausanne" for his various responsibilities in his 17 years at the University of Lausanne. Currently he dedicates part of his time to the composition of classical music. In parallel he has studied the unbalanced state of our human relations over the last few years. Deep psychological rifts have spread in major segments of the world population, resulting from the lack of prospects for the future, the deepening split in incomes and instability growing everywhere. This has led to very high, health-damaging stress levels worldwide. One key factor has been the loss of local control. Instead of building and expanding the capabilities of one's established practice, ever larger segments of the population have been asked to re-tool and to accept mid-career changes at lesser pay, or to possibly emigrate. The documents presented on his site aim to re-prioritise the hopes and wishes of your local community, to help you build a more confident future, for you and for future generations. Eric Keller is now professor hon. emeritus of the University of Lausanne. |
Né à Bâle, en Suisse, et éduqué en Suisse, aux États-Unis, aux Pays-Bas, au Canada et en Allemagne, Eric Keller a obtenu un doctorat en linguistique avec spécialisation psycho- et neurolinguistique l'Université de Toronto en 1975. Il a approfondi ses intérêts dans les neurosciences avec des études post-doctorales en physiologie motrice à l'Université d'Ulm (1976-1978), et avec un deuxième cours en psychologie clinique (1979-1983) aux universités McGill et Concordia à Montréal qu'il a terminé avec “all but dissertation” (cours complet sans thèse). De 1978 à 1990 il a enseigné la psycholinguistique, la phonétique et l'informatique à l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Il a fondé la Section d'Informatique et des Méthodes Mathématiques, Faculté des Lettres, à l'Université de Lausanne en 1991 (maintenant intégrée à la Section des sciences du langage et de l'information link). Dans les deux universités, il a obtenu l'équivalent du statut de "professeur titulaire". Au niveau de la recherche, ses intérêts ont concerné les sciences neuronales et l'intelligence artificielle. Initialement, il s'est intéressé à la modélisation psycho- et neurolinguistique des structures prosodiques et acoustiques de la parole de personnes normales et neurologiquement lésionnés (aphasie et dysarthrie). Il est l'auteur de plus de cent publications. Cette partie de sa carrière fut marquée par son co-développement d'un système ultrasonique pour la mesure de l'action linguale en parole, ainsi que par ses explorations du détail du contrôle moteur de la parole des locuteurs normaux et pathologiques. Subséquemment, il s'est fait connaître dans la communauté de la parole comme auteur d'un logiciel d'analyse de la parole appelé "Signalyze". Ce logiciel convivial a permis aux chercheurs de la parole de découvrir la structure acoustique et articulatoire de la parole par de simples explorations personnelles. Durant les années 1990 et durant la première décennie du 21er siècle, il a dirigé et effectué des recherches en intelligence artificielle, avant tout en analyse et en synthèse de la parole. Entre 1997 et 2001, il a présidé un projet européen COST impliquant 17 pays et une trentaine de laboratoires, portant sur les améliorations de la synthèse de la parole (COST 258). Il est récipient du Kay Elemetrics Award, attribué par la International Society for Phonetic Sciences (ISPhS) pour ses travaux dans les sciences phonétiques. En 2008, Eric Keller a reçu la prestigieuse distinction de "Professeur honoraire de L'Université de Lausanne" pour ses diverses responsabilités au cours de ses 17 années à l'Université de Lausanne. Actuellement il consacre une partie de son temps à la composition de musique classique. En parallèle, il a étudié l'état de déséquilibre de nos relations humaines au cours des dernières années. De profondes fractures psychologiques se sont propagées dans des segments importants de la population mondiale, résultant du manque de perspectives d'avenir, de la division croissante des revenus et de l'instabilité qui s'accentue partout. Cela a conduit à des niveaux de stress très élevés, nuisibles à la santé, dans le monde entier. Un facteur clé a été la perte de contrôle local. Au lieu de renforcer et d'étendre les capacités de leurs pratiques établies, des segments de plus en plus importants de la population ont été invités à se rééquiper et à accepter des changements en milieu de carrière à un salaire moindre, voire à émigrer. Les documents présentés sur son site visent à redéfinir les priorités des espoirs et des souhaits de votre communauté locale, afin de vous aider à construire un avenir plus confiant, pour vous et pour les générations futures. Eric Keller est maintenant professeur hon. émérite de l'Université de Lausanne. |
Geboren in Basel, Schweiz, und erzogen in der Schweiz, den USA, den Niederlanden, Kanada und Deutschland, hat Eric Keller an der Universität Toronto im Jahr 1975 einen Ph.D. in der Linguistik mit einer Spezialisierung in der Psycholinguistik und Neurolinguistik erworben. Seine Interessen in den Neurowissenschaften hat er mit einem Postdoc-Aufenthalt in Motor-Physiologie an der Universität Ulm (1976-1978) und 1997-1983 in einen zweiten Universitätskurs in der klinischen Psychologie an den Universitäten McGill und Concordia in Montreal bis zum „all but dissertation“ weiterverfolgt (volles Kursprogramm ohne Dissertation). 1978-1990 hat er Psycholinguistik, Phonetik und Informatik an der University of Quebec in Montreal unterrichtet. Im Jahr 1991 gründete er die Fachgruppe Informatik und Mathematische Methoden, Faculté des Lettres, an der Universität Lausanne (jetzt Teil der Section des sciences du langage et de l'information link). An beiden Universitäten hat er den Status eines "Full Professor" erreicht. In der Forschung lagen seine Interessen in der Hirnforschung und der künstlichen Intelligenz. Anfangs hat er sich der psycho- und neurolinguistischen Modellierung von prosodischen und akustische Strukturen der Sprache in normalen und hirngeschädigten Sprechern zugewandt (Aphasie und Dysarthrie). Er ist Autor, Co-Autor, Herausgeber oder Mitherausgeber von weit über 100 Publikationen in diesem Bereich. In diesem Teil seiner Karriere hat er die Entwicklung eines Ultraschall-Messgerät für Zungenbewegung vorangetrieben. Seine Forschungen betrafen die motorische Steuerung der Sprache mit normalen und pathologischen Sprechern. Danach wurde er bekannt in der Phonetik als Autor eines Sprachanalyse-Programms namens "Signalyze". Dieses benutzerfreundliche Programm erlaubte Forschern die Details der akustischen und artikulatorischen Struktur der Sprache mit einfacher und persönlicher Erkundung zu entdecken. In den 1990er Jahren und in der ersten Dekade des 21. Jahrhunderts hat er Grundlagenforschung in der künstlichen Intelligenz, insbesondere in der Sprachanalyse und Sprachsynthese durchgeführt. Von 1997 bis 2001 war er Vorsitzender eines europäischen COST-Projekts mit der Mitarbeit von 17 Ländern und rund 30 Laboratorien im Bereich der Verbesserung der Sprachsynthese (COST 258). Er ist ein Empfänger der Kay Elemetrics Auszeichnung auf Empfehlung der Internationalen Gesellschaft für Phonetik Sciences (ISPhS) für seine Arbeit in der phonetischen Wissenschaften. 2008 erhielt Eric Keller für seine 17-jährige Tätigkeit an der Universität Lausanne die renommierte Auszeichnung "Professeur honoraire de L'Université de Lausanne". Eric Keller ist Professor hon. emeritus der Universität Lausanne. Nun widmet er sich teilweise der Komposition von klassischer Musik. Parallel dazu hat er den unausgewogenen Zustand unserer menschlichen Beziehungen untersucht. In grossen Teilen der Weltbevölkerung haben sich tiefe psychologische Gräben ausgebreitet, die aus dem Mangel an Zukunftsperspektiven, der sich vertiefenden Einkommensspaltung und der überall wachsenden Instabilität resultieren. Dies hat weltweit zu einem sehr hohen gesundheitsschädigenden Stressniveau geführt. Ein Schlüsselfaktor war der Verlust der lokalen Kontrolle. Anstatt die Fähigkeiten der etablierten Praxis auf- und auszubauen, wurden immer grössere Teile der Bevölkerung aufgefordert, umzurüsten und einen Wechsel in der Mitte ihrer Laufbahn bei geringerer Bezahlung zu akzeptieren, oder möglicherweise auszuwandern. Die vorgestellten Dokumente auf seiner Website zielen darauf ab, die Hoffnungen und Wünsche Ihrer örtlichen Gemeinschaft neu zu gewichten, um Ihnen beim Aufbau einer zuversichtlicheren Zukunft zu helfen, für Sie und für künftige Generationen. |
Nato a Basilea, in Svizzera, ed educato in Svizzera, Stati Uniti, Olanda, Canada e Germania, Eric Keller ha ottenuto nel 1975 un dottorato di ricerca in Linguistica con una specializzazione in psicolinguistica e neurolinguistica all'Università di Toronto. Ha approfondito i suoi interessi nelle neuroscienze con un post dottorato in fisiologia motrice all'Università di Ulm (1976-1978) e con un secondo corso in psicologia clinica alle università McGill e Concordia in Montreal (1979-1983) che ha completato con "tutto senza dissertazione di laurea" (ABD, corso completo senza dissertazione). Dal 1978 al 1990, ha insegnato psicolinguistica, fonetica e informatica presso l'Università del Quebec a Montreal. Nel 1991, ha fondato la Sezione per l'Informatica e i Metodi Matematici, Facoltà di Lettere, presso l'Università di Losanna (ora parte della Section des sciences du langage et de l'information link). In entrambe le università, ha ottenuto l'equivalente dello status di "professore ordinario". Nella ricerca, i suoi interessi ruotavano intorno alle scienze del cervello e l'intelligenza artificiale. Inizialmente si era interessato alla modellazione psico- e neurolinguistica delle strutture prosodiche e acustiche del discorso dei parlanti normodotati e cerebrolesi (afasia e disartria). È autore, co-autore, editore o co-editore di oltre 100 pubblicazioni in questo campo. Questa parte della sua carriera è stata segnata dal suo co-sviluppo di un dispositivo di misurazione a ultrasuoni per l'azione della lingua nel parlare, e per le sue esplorazioni dei dettagli di controllo del discorso motore linguale dei parlanti normodotati e patologici. Successivamente divenne noto nella fonetica come l'autore di un programma di analisi chiamato "Signalyze". Questo programma di facile uso ha permesso ai ricercatori di scoprire i dettagli della struttura acustica e articolatoria del discorso per esplorazione personale semplice. Negli anni '90 e nel primo decennio del 21° secolo, ha diretto ed eseguito ricerche di base nel campo dell'intelligenza artificiale, in particolare nelle analisi vocale e sintesi vocale. Tra il 1997 e il 2001 ha presieduto un progetto europeo COST che coinvolse 17 paesi e circa 30 laboratori nel miglioramento della sintesi vocale (COST 258). Ha ricevuto il Premio Kay Elemetrics, attribuito su raccomandazione della Società Internazionale per le Scienze fonetiche (ISPhS) per il suo lavoro nel campo delle scienze fonetiche. Nel 2008 Eric Keller è stato insignito del prestigioso riconoscimento di "Professeur honoraire de L'Université de Lausanne" per le sue varie responsabilità nei suoi 17 anni all'Università di Losanna. Ora dedica una parte del suo su tempo alla composizione musicale Parallelamente
ha studiato lo stato di squilibrio dei nostri rapporti umani negli
ultimi anni. Profonde fratture psicologiche si sono diffuse in
segmenti importanti della popolazione mondiale, a causa della
mancanza di prospettive per il futuro, dell'aggravarsi della
divisione dei redditi e dell'instabilità che cresce
ovunque. Questo ha portato a livelli di stress molto elevati e
dannosi per la salute in tutto il mondo.
Eric Keller è ora professore emerito ed onorario dell'Università di Losanna. |

Profundas grietas psicológicas se han extendido en importantes segmentos de la población mundial, como resultado de la falta de perspectivas de futuro, la profundización de la división de los ingresos y la inestabilidad que crece en todas partes. Esto ha llevado a niveles muy altos de estrés perjudiciales para la salud en todo el mundo. Un factor clave ha sido la pérdida de control local. En lugar de crear y ampliar las capacidades de la práctica establecida, se ha pedido a segmentos cada vez más grandes de la población que se re-equipen y acepten cambios a mitad de carrera con una remuneración menor, o que posiblemente emigren. Los documentos presentados en su sitio tienen por objeto volver a dar prioridad a las esperanzas y los deseos de su comunidad local, para ayudarle a construir un futuro más seguro, para usted y para las generaciones futuras.
