Thomas Winkler

I am a researcher in the speech group in NetMedia at Fraunhofer IAIS. In 2005, I received my diploma in Electrical Engineering from RWTH Aachen University, and I started to work for Fraunhofer in 2006. My main fields of research are robust speech recognition and audio signal processing.

Research Interests

• automatic speech recognition
• audio pattern recognition
• creation of speech corpora
• noise robust speech processing systems
• digital signal processing
• topic and genre detection
• semantic media analysis

Miscellaneous

Member of the Organizing Committee of the workshop EVENTS2010.
