RESEARCH INTERESTS
Novel statistical methods for speech recognition
Prediction of errors in ASR systems
Discriminative language models
Statistical investigations of linguistic phenomena in large
corpora
Spoken dialogue system design; spoken human-computer interface issues
Natural language generation for spoken dialogue systems
Information extraction from electronic medical records
Multi-stream large-vocabulary decoding
Spoken information retrieval
I also have interests in natural language processing, ASR
language modeling, and computational linguistics (particularly computational
phonology).
