His research in linear predictive coding of speech has established linear predictive analysis as one of the most powerful speech analysis techniques for applications in speech coding, recognition, and synthesis. His current research interests include low bit rate speech coding, and new robust and accurate methods for automatic speech recognition.

She is responsible for the technical and administrative direction of research and development efforts, including spoken language understanding, human-machine interfaces incorporating natural language processing, and the development of evaluation methodologies for those areas. She has more than 20 years of experience in research, development, and application in many aspects of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics, including syntactic processing of English by computer, speech understanding, knowledge acquisition for NL systems, computer assisted language instruction, interfaces to data bases, and human factors studies.

in formal linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1972 and has been involved in the field of natural language processing and, more recently, in spoken language understanding. She has been active in both the speech and natural language evaluation efforts, and chaired the original Multisite ATISData Collection Working group (MADCOW)

She joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1982, evaluating automatic speech recognition technology, and she has been at Bellcore since 1984. At Bellcore, her work has focused on userinterface design for voice applications, telephone speech database collection, and the application of artificial neural networks to speech recognition problems.

From page 521... ...
Currently, as Director of the Information Principles Research Laboratory, he directs research in speech coding, speech synthesis, speech recognition, speaker recognition, language translation, acoustics, communications, image processing, interactive systems, and systems using digital signal processor chips. He is a member of both the National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Sciences.

From page 522... ...
Since then, he has worked on phonetic recognition and synthesis, narrowband speech coding, speech enhancement in noise, speaker identification and verification, speech recognition and understanding, neural networks, and statistical message processing. He is currently the lead scientist on the ARPA project on spoken language systems.
|
From page 523... ...
He has made technical contributions and has been responsible for initiation and leadership of research programs in speech recognition, speech coding, speech enhancement, packet speech communications, integrated voice/data communication networks, finiteword-length effects in digital signal processing, and radar signal processing. Since 1986, Dr.
