Presidential Young Investigator Award: Auditory Systems as a Basis for the Processing of Speech by Computer

在这项研究工作中，注意力集中在听觉系统中的单个结构上，使用信号处理技术来识别声音产生特征的可能机制。重点是人工智能在语音识别中的应用，听神经和耳蜗核中单个单位神经反应的研究，以及用于实时语音识别系统信号处理的VLSI电路体系结构领域。

In this research effort, attention is focused on individual structures in the auditory system using the techniques of signal processing to identify possible mechanisms of the characteristics of sound production. Emphasis is on the application of artificial intelligence to speech recognition, the investigation of single-unit neural responses in the auditory nerve and cochlear nucleus, and on the area of VLSI circuit architecture for signal processing of real-time speech recognition systems.
