- Profile
-
Thomas Hain obtained the degree 'Dipl.-Ing' in Electrical/Communication Engineering in 1994 from the University of Technology, Vienna. He joined the Speech Technology Group at Philips Speech Processing which he left in a senior position.
In 1997 he joined the Speech, Vision and Robotics Group at the Cambridge University Engineering Department as Research Associate and PhD Student. He took up a Lectureship at the SVR group in 2001.
In 2004 he joined the Speech and Hearing Group to work as Lecturer in Computer Science. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2008 and Reader in 2011.
- Research interests
-
Thomas' research interests cover many areas in natural language processing, speech, audio and multimedia technology, machine learning, and complex system optimisation and design.
His interests include: large vocabulary continuous speech recognition, non-linear methods in speech processing, low bit-rate speech coding, machine learning, multi-modal systems, image classification, microphone arrays, system and resource optimisation.
