Published 3 conference papers (Interspeech, ICASSP) and 1 journal article (TASLP). Contributions include proposing an adversarial-based approach for predicting 2-D importance maps, developing a novel evaluation metric for assessing importance maps in structured prediction tasks, and creating a data augmentation technique based on importance maps.
Research Experience
Conducts research on developing new methods to predict and evaluate importance maps in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, and using these maps to improve the model's performance under noisy conditions.
Education
PhD - Department of Computer Science, CUNY Graduate Center; Advisor: Professor Michael Mandel
Background
Currently a final-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at CUNY Graduate Center, focusing on Machine Learning and Speech Processing. Specifically, his research is about finding time-frequency regions in spectrograms that ASR pays attention to, known as audible importance/attention maps, which can enhance model's interpretability and performance.
