Labeling Experience

Data annotation protocol and labeling for speech cognition research, Leiden University Centre for Linguistics

AudioClassification
I developed an annotation protocol and designed a study framework for annotating audio files containing speech data from individuals with mild cognitive decline. This involved careful listening to speech data and assigning labels relating to cognitive condition and speech features. Coordination with research teams ensured consistency in labeling practices. • Designed and documented an audio annotation protocol • Labeled features in speech data linked to cognitive decline • Ensured data quality with repeat checks • Enabled research for Alzheimer’s studies

Data annotation for whispered speech conversion model, Whispp

AudioClassification
I annotated whispered speech audio data to support the development of a machine learning model that transforms whispered speech into regular, non-whispered speech. My responsibilities included systematically listening to audio files and applying accurate classification labels. The work required attention to detail and consistent application of a defined annotation protocol. • Labeled audio data for AI training purposes • Collaborated with a team of linguistics students • Adhered to quality standards set by developers • Supported speech technology innovation
