University of Bielefeld, Germany PhD 1999
Biosketch
Dr. Kirchhoff joined the Speech, Signal and Language Interpretation (SSLI) Lab in the EE Department at the University of Washington in November 1999, after receiving her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bielefeld, Germany. Most of here previous work has been in the area of automatic speech recognition. In her dissertation work, part of which was performed as a visitor at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California, she developed articulatory-based models for automatic speech recognition. Currently she is working on various projects in human language technology, including machine translation, multilingual speech recognition, and machine learning techniques for speech and natural language processing.
Research Interests
Speech recognition, machine translations, human-computer interfaces, machine learning, multilingual applications.
Current Research Projects
- Contextual Machine Translation
Machine translation in multi-party real-world environments. - Graph-based learning for speech processing
Development of graph-based semi-supervised learning technique for speech applications. - GALE
Speech recognition and machine translation technology for information distillation from non-English languages.
