Najim Dehak
Co-Director
Najim Dehak, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, studies machine learning approaches applied to speech processing, audio classification, and health applications. He is a leading developer of the I-vector representation for speaker recognition, and first introduced this state-of-the-art method in 2008 during the Center for Language and Speech Processing’s summer workshop at Johns Hopkins University. Since that time, this approach has become one of the most known speech representations in the entire speech community.
