Welcome to Lingyun Gu (顾凌云)'s Homepage

Lingyun (Larry) Gu is my name. Now, I am just like a dervish to pursue my Ph.D. degree in CMU Robust Speech Recognition Group, a part of the CMU Speech Group in the School of Computer Science at the Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, U.S.A, supervised by Dr. Richard M. Stern. My research interests are Robust Speech Recognition and Digital Speech Processing. Anyone who are interested in these stuff are very welcome to contact me.

Actually, there is nothing to be shown off but I have got the title of “National Best Debater in China in 1997, 1998 respectively. An engineering guy got an honor like this, a little bit amazing, right? To be honest, me too!

我,顾凌云,像千千万万普通的留学生一样,于2000年秋天飞跃重洋,来到这片曾经充满传奇的美洲大陆.整洁的环境,美丽的风光,相对高素质的人群以及水平极高的科研环境,一遍又一遍的验证着国内对美国的传说.当然,贫乏的精神生活,枯燥的一日三餐也在不断提醒着我,自己的生活和美国主流的欧几里的距离依然遥远.

想当年我在国内也曾经风光,拿过97,98两年全国大专辩论会全场唯一最佳辩手,入选过中国国家杰出青年人才库,尝过成都市高校十佳的滋味.回顾既往,不是为了哀叹现在.如今的生活依然精彩!现在在美国卡内基梅隆大学计算机学院攻读博士学位,师从理查德.斯特恩,从事语音识别和语音数字信号处理方面的研究.我的文章和研究细节可以从个人简历栏中获取.同道中人欢迎来信探讨!

I was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu, P.R.China, a well-known ancient and beautiful city with 2470 year’s history in the eastern China. There were 10 dynasties anchoring their capitals there (including Republic of China), where I spent 18 happy years with my parents. Qin Huai River, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, Zhong Hua Gate, all of these gold-shine interests have wonderful fames all over the world.

After getting my B.S. with Electrical Engineering from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 1998, which is located in Chengdu, Sichuan, a beautiful and cozy city in the Southwestern China, I succeed my graduate study in Old Dominion University (Norfolk, VA, U.S.A.) and University of Florida (Gainesville, FL, U.S.A.), where I obtained my M.S. with Electrical Engineering in 2002. I like all of these three cities so much. The bamboo in Wu Hou Memorial Temple, the pavilions besides Fu Nan River in Chengdu, and the golden autumn leaves and limpid water in Elizabeth Bay in Norfolk are always in my mind.

虽然父亲来自上海,母亲生于苏州,可我却是一个地地道道的南京人.虽然我可以说地道的上海话,父亲每天都灌输我作为上海人的自豪,可我还是对南京有着强烈的归属感.毕竟在那里18年的成长经历是难以磨灭的.南京城那树荫婆娑的法国梧桐林荫大道,庄严肃穆的中山陵,明孝陵,风景旖旎的玄武湖,壮观巍峨的中华门,流诗溢韵的秦淮河都无时不刻让我感受着作为一个南京人的自豪.这个城市有钟山有淮水,不仅有自然,还有着丰厚的文化积淀.它有着近2500年的建城史,从春秋范蠡在这里筑城围堰,三国孙权宣布”宁饮建康水,不食武昌鱼”定都南京开始,历史上孙吴,东晋,宋,齐,梁,陈,南唐,明,太平天国,中华民国等10朝先后定都于此.在这里出生,居住,干出一番大事业来的人如过江之鲫难以计数.诸葛孔明曾经在这里羽扇纶巾,舌战群儒,谢安曾经在这里潇洒自如,运筹帷幄,将有投鞭断流之豪气的前秦符坚在淝水杀的风声鹤唳.远的不说,就是在最近这150年之内,陶澍,曾国藩,李鸿章,张之洞等人就先后在这里担任过清朝两江总督兼南洋通商大臣.孙中山出生在广东,革命成功于武昌,但他却一定要定都于南京,并且要后人将其葬于南京.南京不是一个只有英雄和霸业的城市,南京同样是一个风流情盛的地方,这里有提着金缕鞋,在夜色中悄悄与李后主约会的小周后,这里也有名满天下的秦淮八艳,还有孔尚任那千古情痴的桃叶渡.但是南京这2500年,伴随着光荣与梦想的却也是铁血与硝烟.在历朝历代的更替中,只有北宋大将曹彬和平攻占南京,统一南唐,百姓无重大伤亡.其余历次,皆是毁城之痛.1864年7月19日,清军悍将曾国荃,灭太平天国,攻占南京,南京举城皆焚,50里内没有女子.1937年12月13日,日军攻占南京,制造举世震惊的南京大屠杀,30万亡灵无处昭雪.南京可以叙述的太多太多,可以留恋的也太多太多.南京不像北京.北京是一座贵族化的平民城市.而南京不一样,这是一座平民化的贵族城市.走近它,呼吸它,你一定会喜欢它!
