I am a graduate student in Computer
Science at The University of Cambridge. I am beginning
the first year of my Ph.D. Last year I did an M.Phil. in Linguistics, also at Cambridge. My
research interests mostly involve artificial intelligence including speech
synthesis, natural language processing, biomedical text mining, and wearable
computing. I began my work at The University of Georgia, where I did a
Bachelors and a Masters in Mathematics.
My academic webpage is here. I have started keeping an online journal. We'll see how long that lasts. :) The motivating application for my speech synthesis work is to build a more natural sounding and intelligible reading machine for the blind. I have written the Cynthia Speech Engine which is an original speech synthesis system that I use to develop and test new linguistic models of speech. My work is focused on modeling prosodic aspects of speech, particularly rhythm. I am currently doing work in the area of Biomedical Text Mining. I am working with the Cambridge FlyBase team to automatically extract protein and gene information from papers published in genetics journals. Here are some pictures from Cambridge. These are some of my current projects. I like to collect hobbies and interests. One of my biggest loves is shapenote singing. Here is a little bit of personal information about me. This is a list of websites in the BillNet network. Bill Hollingsworth Natural Language & Information Processing Group University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory William Gates Building |
