Gábor Gosztolya

Dr. Gábor Gosztolya habil., PhD — Assistant Professor at the University of Szeged and Senior Research Fellow at the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics. Recognised as a leading expert in artificial intelligence and speech technology.

Research focus

His work centres on bridging the “speech gap” — the digital divide between resource-rich languages such as English and less-resourced languages such as Hungarian in speech AI. By applying deep learning and speech processing algorithms, he works to ensure smaller languages are not left behind by global technology advances, making speech-based AI accessible and effective at a local level.

Note that the phrase names two connected things in this ecosystem: the linguistic resource gap above, and Speech Gap the measurement instrument.

Role in this ecosystem

Origin partner for the Speech Gap technology and the first-named inventor on its patent family (WO2020128542A1 / US12161481B2), alongside Ildikó Hoffmann, János Kálmán, Magdolna Pákáski, László Tóth, and Veronika Vincze.

He is also the domain expert on the existing implementation, and therefore a necessary counterpart for any software rebuild or the planned respiratory-signal extension.
