Computer Science's Hirschberg Works to Enable Computers to Recognize Emotions in Human Speech
Julia Hirschberg, computer science professor and editor-in-chief of "Computational Linguistics," focuses much of her research on the fields of speech summarization and emotional speech -- the ability for computers to recognize emotions in human speech. "You want the system to be able to convey subtle variations in the same way that people can, but also you want the system to be able to recognize those subtle variations, because, otherwise, it's missing half of what the person says," she explains.
