Consultant
TUBITAK-UEKAE
March 2009 June 2009 (4 months)
Project: Developed a GMM-based language identification (LID) system for

UEKAE (National Institue of Electronics and Cryptology of Turkey) on OGI
Multilanguage Telephone Corpus. Also helping to improve the performance
of UEKAE's ASR Engine by integrating PMVDR noise-robust features and
BISN speaker normalization both of which were developed during his PhD
thesis research. Current LID system he developed is performing better than
all GMM-based systems reported in the LID literature on the same
database.
Speech Technology Engineer

INFOTURE, INC
February 2005 February 2009 (4 years 1 month)
Project: Responsible for the software development of an assessment tool

used to monitor and assess the language development of children ages 0-4
years. The project involved establishing the speech recognition framework
within the company as well as creating new algorithms to handle child
speech recognition and automatic language assessment (an area in which
nobody has substantial expertise yet), adult speech analysis and
recognition, speaker segmentation, speaker identification, speech
compression, speech enhancement and other issues related to robust
speech processing. The product will be very helpful in detecting delays in
speech development of infants and young children and will allow for early
intervention for maximum benefit to disadvantaged children. Developed C
and MATLAB code implementations, PERL scripts, and helped with a lot of
testing tasks.
