E-intelligence: "Let's throw away the keyboard and the mouse" -- breakthroughs in real-time translation and speech recognition technologies Professor Roland Chin Head, Department of Computer Science, HKUST
Imagine your mobile phone reading you a machine- abstracted version of a long e-mail that you have been eagerly waiting for. Imagine the same mobile phone recognizing, transcribing, sending, and filing a reply you dictate. Imagine yourself giving a verbal command to your TV set to access a web site in Bucherest showing images of the latest eclipse of the sun; and, with another simple command, viewing the information in your own language. These are not fantasies, but innovative technologies being researched by Professor Roland Chin and his team in the Human Language Technology Laboratory at HKUST.	Professor Roland Chin is the Head of the Department of Computer Science at HKUST. After obtaining his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Missouri, Columbia in 1979, Professor Chin worked at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland for two years, and as a faculty member of the University of Wisconsin, Madison until he joined HKUST in 1992. Professor Chin serves on numerous panels for the University Grants Council, the Research Grants Council, the Industry Department, and the Quality Education Fund.
