Visiting Researcher
CV bio |
|
I'm a currently a visiting researcher at interACT, Carnegie Mellon University. I received an undergraduate (Btech) degree in Information and Communication Engineering from Massey University, and my Masters and Doctoral degrees from Kyoto University.
Research Interests
My research interests are focused on spoken language translation, specifically:
- Machine learning approaches for speech recognition and language understanding
- Speaker, genre and topic-adaptation for spoken language translation
- Dialogue modeling in speech-to-speech translation
