Irene Murtagh is an academic and a researcher at the Department of Informatics, TU Dublin and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Centre for Deaf Studies, Trinity College Dublin. After completing her BSc. (Hons) in Computing at the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown, Irene carried on her studies to Level 9 by completing an MPhil. in Speech and Language Processing at the Centre for Language and Communication Studies in Trinity College Dublin. Her MPhil. Thesis, “Analysing Voice Source Correlates of Affect in a Corpus of Japanese Expressive Speech”, was supervised by Dr Christer Gobl. Irene went on from here to complete a PhD in Linguistics (by research) at the Centre for Language and Communication Studies in Trinity College Dublin. Her PhD thesis is titled: Developing a Linguistically Motivated Computational Framework for Irish Sign Language, and was supervised by Professor John Saeed and Dr Brian Nolan.
Her research interests include: Research in computational linguistics/linguistics using applications of the functional linguistic model of Role and Reference Grammar, sign language linguistics, linguistically motivated embodied conversational agents and avatar technology, speech acoustic processing, natural language processing and computational linguistic applications within the domain of artificial intelligence and cognitive technology.
