Deep Learning (Interview With Dong Yu)

Dr. Dong Yu is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research. His research has been focusing on speech recognition and applications of machine learning techniques. He has published two monographs and over 150 papers in these areas and is the inventor/co-inventor of near 60 granted/pending patents. His recent work on the context-dependent deep neural network hidden Markov model (CD-DNN-HMM), which was recognized by the IEEE SPS 2013 best paper award, caused a paradigm shift on large vocabulary speech recognition. Dr. Dong Yu is currently serving as a member of the IEEE Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee (2013-).
