(Advisor: F. Jelinek)
We tackled the problem of "Acoustic Sensitive Language Modeling".
The work was generalized to include a dynamic combination of multiple knowledge
sources in a speech recognition model, trained to minimize recognition
errors.

Participated in the group "Language
Modeling for Conversational Speech Recognition".
Texas Instruments
June 1994 - August 1994:
Summer Intern
(Manager: R. Rajasekaran)
Development of a rule-based grammar for the ATIS task.
