Roberto Pieraccini

Whereabouts

I was born in Italy, grew up in Viareggio, and studied Electronics Engineering at the Universita' degli Studi di Pisa.

From 1981 to 1989 I worked at CSELT (Centro Studi E Laboratori Telecomunicazioni) in Torino, Italy. Most of the people I worked with at CSELT are now part of Loquendo

In 1990 I moved to the United States. I was a Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories, in Murray Hill, New Jersey and then at AT&T Shannon Laboratories, in Florham Park, New Jersey.

From 1999 to 2003 I worked at the Manhattan office of SpeechWorks International (now Nuance)

From 2003 to 2005 I was a Research Staff Member and then manager at the IBM T.J.Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY.

I am the CTO of SpeechCycle, formerly known as Tell-Eureka. SpeechCycle is located in Manhattan.

I was the Chair of the IEEE Speech and Language Technical Committee (SLTC) for the term 2007-2008.

Whatabouts

Since 1981 I have been working on several aspects related to machines that talk and understand speech (read my blog: Dialing for Dialog).
