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.

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. 

BBfor2 Summer School in Forensic Speech Analysis

This year summer school for the BBfor2 network has been a blast. Accompanied by sunny days in York, we had a set of courses and experiments related to forensic speech analysis based on the phonetic and acoustic properties of speech signal.
