Roberto Pieraccini received the Dr.Ing degree in electrical engineering from the Universita degli Studi di Pisa, Pisa, Italy, in 1980. From 1981 to 1990 he was with CSELT (Torino, Italy), where he worked on algorithms for speech recognition. In June 1990 he joined the Speech Research Group at AT&T Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill, NJ) and was involved in research on stochastic methods for language understanding. During that period he contributed to the novel idea of stochastic language understanding. In 1995 he joined AT&T Laboratories (Florham Park, NJ) where he was Principal Member of Technical Staff and worked on new concepts for spoken language dialog. In particular he contributed to the development of a new mathematical formalization of dialog systems within the reinforcement learning paradigm. From 1999 to 2003 he was with SpeechWorks International, where he led the Natural Dialog team. He joined IBM T.J.Watson Research in August 2003, where he is responsible of the commercialization of multilingual components based on statstical natural language processing algorithms. During his career he authored and co-authored more than 100 papers on the subjects of speech recognition, language modeling, language understanding and dialog. |
