Author Information

Mirco Ravanelli (Montreal Istitute for Learning Algorithms)

I received my master's degree in Telecommunications Engineering (full marks and honours) from the University of Trento, Italy in 2011. I then joined the SHINE research group (led by Prof. Maurizio Omologo) of the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK), contributing to some projects on distant-talking speech recognition in noisy and reverberant environments, such as DIRHA and DOMHOS. In 2013 I was visiting researcher at the International Computer Science Institute (University of California, Berkeley) working on deep neural networks for large-vocabulary speech recognition in the context of the IARPA BABEL project (led by Prof. Nelson Morgan). I received my PhD (with cum laude distinction) in Information and Communication Technology from the University of Trento in December 2017. During my PhD I worked on “deep learning for distant speech recognition”, with a particular focus on recurrent and cooperative neural networks (see my PhD thesis here). In the context of my PhD I recently spent 6 months in the MILA lab led by Prof. Yoshua Bengio. I'm currently a post-doc researcher at the University of Montreal, working on deep learning for speech recognition in the MILA Lab.

Dmitriy Serdyuk (MILA)
Ehsan Variani (Google)

I am a Staff Research Scientist in Google. My main research focus is statistical and machine learning and information theory with focus on speech and language recognition.

Bhuvana Ramabhadran (Google)

Bhuvana Ramabhadran (IEEE Fellow, 2017, ISCA Fellow 2017) currently leads a team of researchers in Google, focussing on multilingual speech recognition and synthesis. Previously, she was a Distinguished Research Staff Member and Manager in IBM Research AI, at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA, where she led a team of researchers in the Speech Technologies Group and coordinated activities across IBM's world­wide laboratories in the areas of speech recognition, synthesis, and spoken term detection. She was the elected Chair of the IEEE SLTC (2014–2016), Area Chair for ICASSP (2011–2018) and Interspeech (2012–2016), was on the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing (2011–2015), and is currently an ISCA board member. She has published over 150 papers and been granted over 40 U.S. patents. Her research interests include speech recognition and synthesis algorithms, statistical modeling, signal processing, and machine learning.
