Hi, I'm Dominique Barra, nice to meet you!
I am a Computer Engineer right now but my passion for computers started a long time ago,
when I was a little kid who used to steal his uncle's PC while he was not at home and play
with everything he could found on it.
But computers were not the only thing that I was passionate about:
movies, TV series, videogames and books come with me in all those years.
And thanks to them I learnt how to think, how to speak English and, more importantly, how to imagine a world that does not exist.
This is what drives me, create a new world, like the ones I saw when I was a kid.
“ehiScript!” is an iOS app written in Swift developed for actors and aspiring ones who wants a way to learn and revise a script without needing another person who helps them. This app provide a couple features compared to competition: insert new script simply by uploading a PDF file into the app, use of Speech Synthesis to read the lines of the other characters and use of Speech Recognition to notify the user of his errors.
This was a project work for my university. I used the Pepper Robot and transform it in a Shop Assistant that works by only using your voice: it can learn voice and name of its interlocutor through Speaker Re-Identification, saving its shopping list and delivering all messages left to the user by other people which have spoken to the Bot before. A combination of powerful tools based on Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing has been used to allow a comfortable dialogue between the Robot and its user.
