Best Student Poster Award at O-Cocosda 2016

Congratulation to Ivan Stefanus, my student, for us in winning best student poster award at O-Cocosda 2016 in Bali, Indonesia, for our paper entitled "Development of Bahasa Speech Database for Speaker Recognition". 

Interspeech 2015

Capture from one of the posters presented at Interspeech 2015.

At the Interspeech Conference 2015 in Dresden, Germany, our paper entitled "Quality Measure Functions for Calibration of Speaker Recognition Systems in Various Duration Conditions" that is published in the IEEE-TASLP in 2013, has been cited by several papers. Some of them are:

1. "Modified-prior PLDA and Score Calibration for Duration Mismatch Compensation in Speaker Recognition System", by Q. Hong et.al., and
2. "Denoising Autoencoder-based Speaker Feature Restoration for Utterances of Short Duration", by H. Yamamoto & T. Koshinaka.

ASEAN-EU Year of Science, Technology, and Innovation

Posing in front of my poster at the ASEAN-EU conference in Brussels, December 2012.

I attended a conference on the ASEAN-EU cooperation in science, technology and innovation that focuses on health and food technologies. In this conference, I also had an opportunity to present my work as a PhD student entitled "Evaluation and calibration of modern speaker recognition systems in forensic conditions and applications". I join this conference as a representative of Marie-Curie fellows from the BBfor2 ITN project who come from Indonesia, one of the ASEAN countries. At the end of this conference I also have a chance to meet the SEA-EU-NET board members. Even if it's only for one time in my life, I am so happy to be inside the EU office as a representative of my home country, Indonesia. 

Presentation at IAFPA conference 2012

This is where the gala dinner taken place, the palace. 

I was in Santander, Spain for IAFPA conference 2012. It was such a great time, especially meeting several people whom I have met before at last year IAFPA conference. I had to present my paper with tittle "A study of likelihood ratio calibration in high vocal effort speech for a modern automatic speaker recognition system". By the way, Santander is a very nice and clean city with its wonderful sea and beach views. 

Odyssey 2012 conference - The speaker and language recognition workshop

Singapore view from the top of Singapore Flyers, the giant Ferris wheel. 

This is my first time attending Odyssey conference, the IEEE conference that is designated especially for speaker and language recognition papers. I attended this conference to learn more about the latest technology in speaker recognition field. I do not have any paper with me as the first author, but I am the  second author in the paper with tittle "Source Normalization for Language-Independent Speaker Recognition using i-Vectors". This is a paper where I collaborated with my previous daily supervisor. I was doing the calibration experiments for the paper.

Poster Presentation at ICASSP 2012

Posing in front of my poster at ICASSP 2012 conference. 

It is such a great thing to attend such a conference like ICASSP which has papers from a very broad field. Since ICASSP stands for international conference on acoustics, speech and signal processing, there are papers that vary from speech technologies, language technologies. biomedical signal processiong, until signal processing for forensic application. In this conference, I am also able to present my paper in the poster session with tittle "The effect of noise on modern automatic speaker recognition system". 

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.

Presentation at IAFPA conference 2011

The IAFPA 2011 conference venue, Bundeskriminalamt Wien, Austria. 

In this conference, I presented my work that is titled "Speaker line-up calibration of the i-vector based speaker recognition system for forensic application". This was my first time joining the annual conference held by IAFPA. Attending this conference has widen my network to the experts and practitioners in the forensic speaker recognition field internationally.

“Comparative Study of Signal Processing Algorithm for The Extraction of Pitch and Formant”

 

Asialink International Conference

In 2007, the Asialink International conference on biomedical engineering and technology is held in Jakarta, Indonesia. I had an opportunity to attend this conference. The topic of this year conference is empowering human resources in biomedical engineering in developing countries: for a sustainable health case system.
