Alexander Waibel
Alexander Waibel (born 2 May 1956) is a professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Waibel's research focuses on automatic speech recognition, translation and human-machine interaction. His work has introduced cross-lingual communication systems, such as consecutive and simultaneous interpreting systems on a variety of platforms. In fundamental research on machine learning, he is known for the time delay neural network, Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN), the first convolutional neural network, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained by gradient descent, using backpropagation. Alex Waibel introduced the TDNN in 1987 aATRin Japan. Early life and education Waibel spent part of his schooling in Barcelona, before entering the ''humanistisches Gymnasium'' in Ludwigshafen. From 1976 to 1979, he studied electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was presented with the Guilla ...

CREDENTIAL
A credential is a piece of any document that details a qualification, competence, or authority issued to an individual by a third party with a relevant or ''de facto'' authority or assumed competence to do so. Examples of credentials include academic diplomas, academic degrees, Professional certification, certifications, security clearances, Identity document, identification documents, badges, passwords, user names, key (lock), keys, power of attorney, powers of attorney, and so on. Sometimes publications, such as scientific papers or books, may be viewed as similar to credentials by some people, especially if the publication was peer reviewed or made in a well-known Academic journal, journal or reputable publisher. Types and documentation of credentials A person holding a credential is usually given documentation or secret knowledge (''e.g.,'' a password or key) as proof of the credential. Sometimes this proof (or a copy of it) is held by a third, trusted party. While in some c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
