Albert Rilliard

I'm a researcher at LIMSI, a CNRS lab in the Paris area. Member of the Audio & Acoustic group, and responsible for the expressive prosody research topic.

Main research topic : - Measurement of prosodic variation - Expressive prosody perception - Cross-linguistic perception of prosodic attitudes

I'm currently mainly involved in the PADE project. It is aimed at the development of new methods for the measurement of prosodic variability across dialects, expressivity and cultures.
