I joined UTD Computer Science
Department in the Fall of 2005.
I am part of the Human
Language Technology Research Institute,
and the Center for Robust
Speech Systems.
I am also an affiliated faculty in the department of Electrical Engineering.
My research interest is in human language processing (that
includes both speech and written text!).
- Speech recognition and
understanding, spoken language processing
- Natural language
processing (summarization, sentiment analysis)
- Speech/language
disorder, clinical applications
- Emotion recognition
- Social media analysis
- Machine learning in speech/language processing
For prospective students/PostDoc:
speech understanding, spoken dialog systems, information extraction, summarization, statistical learning techniques
in these applications, etc.).
