Presentation at Interspeech Conference 2011

A picture of me when presenting my work at the Interspeech 2011 conference in Florence, Italy. 

In Interspeech 2011, that was my first time presenting a paper in an international conference after I started my PhD study. The tittle of my paper for this conference is "Evaluation of i-vector Speaker Recognition Systems for Forensic Application".

Was I nervous? Yes, a hundred percent. I had 15 minutes to present my paper, but it turns out that I finished it only in 10 minutes. That was too fast. After my presentation, I had a discussion with the chairman. He told me, "It is wonderful to have someone trying to use automatic speaker recognition technology for real world case (forensics).". I am really happy to hear his comment at that time. It became one of my motivation on doing my research since then.
