Professor Nelson Morgan is the current director of the International Computer Science Institute as well as a professor at the Univeristy of California, Berkeley. He has led the speech research effort at ICSI since 1988 and has been working in speech processing since 1980. With Hervé Bourlard, he was an originator of the "hybrid system" approach to speech recognition (neural networks used probabilistically with HMMs), and with Hynek Hermansky was the co-inventor of signal processing techniques now used in millions of cell phones.
