About me

George Saon

Research staff member, Advanced Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition


Research lab: Watson Research Center (Yorktown)


I received my M.Sc. and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the University Henri Poincare, Nancy, France in 1994 and 1997. From 1994 to 1998, I worked on stochastic modeling for off-line handwriting recognition at the Laboratoire Lorrain de Recherche en Informatique et ses Applications (LORIA). I am currently with the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center conducting research on large vocabulary conversational speech recognition. I have been actively involved in various government-sponsored speech recognition projects (Voicemail, SPINE, EARS, GALE, TALES, etc.). My main research interests are in statistical pattern recognition, acoustic modeling, speaker adaptation and large vocabulary decoding algorithms.
