Bio

Language and speech dev currently focused on speech solutions, spaCy contributor. My current interest is Multilingual NLP. I like neural networks for speech and language, brand new technologies in general. I seasoned myself with training acoustic models, focused on on-device AI for some time. Currently I focus on computational pragmatics, how to generate efficient continuous representations for conversation context and context dependent SLU. Through my professional life, I evolved with NLP: I worked on IR, then NN based statistical models, then met charming ASR&TTS, then Conversational AI, now speech again. I also do Turkish NLP professionally both commercially and as open source. Still I never say no to a good grep :) I'm addicted to bash scripting, awk, sed, tr and grep no matter what sort of speech & language task I do.
