Biosketch
Jeff A. Bilmes joined the University of Washington Department of Electrical Engineering faculty in the fall of 1999. He received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from U.C. Berkeley in 1989, a S.M. degree from MIT in 1993, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from U.C. Berkeley in 1999. For many years, he also worked and performed research at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, CA. He is the author of about 45 journal and conference papers on topics ranging from speech and pattern recognition to parallel programming language design to high-performance software coding techniques.
He is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, and also an adjunct professor in the University of Washington Department of Linguistics and in Computer Science and Engineering
In winter 2003, he co-leading IEEE ASRU2003, the IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding.
In summer 2001, he lead the JHU CSLP workshop on discriminatively structured graphical models for speech recognition.
Research Interests
His primary interests lie in statistical modeling (particularly graphical approaches) and signal processing for pattern classification, speech recognition, language processing, and audio processing. He is particularly interested in discovering ways to discriminatively structure such models for classification problems. He also has strong interests in speech-based human-computer interfaces, general machine learning, the statistical properties of natural objects and natural scenes, information theory and its relation to natural computation by humans and pattern recognition by machines, and computational music processing (such as human timing subtleties). He is also quite interested in high performance computing systems, computer architecture, and software techniques to reduce power consumption.
Honors
2001 NSF CAREER Award recipient
2001 CRA Digital Government Fellow
1998 U.C. Berkeley EECS Dept. Samuel Silver Scholarship Award
Jeff is a member of the IEEE Computer Society, Signal Processing Society, Information Theory Society, Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, and also the ACM Computer Society.
For More Information
Much more information is available on my web page at the deparments Signal, Speech, and Language Interpretation laboratory.Computer Speech and Langauge : Special Issue
I am guest editing, along with Martin Russel, a speecial issue of Computer Speech and Language on new computational paradigms for acoustic modeling in speech recognition. The deadline for submission is October 31st, and the PDF call for papers is here.
