Biography
Alan W. Black is a Professor in the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Before joining the faculty at CMU in 1999, he worked in the Centre for Speech Technology Research at the University of Edinburgh, and before that at ATR in Japan. He is one of the principal authors of the free software Festival Speech Synthesis System, the FestVox voice building tools and CMU Flite, a small footprint speech synthesis engine, that is the basis for many research and commercial systems around the world. He also works in spoken dialog systems, the LetsGo Bus Information project and mobile speech-to-speech translation systems. Prof Black is an elected member of ISCA board (2007–2015). He has over 200 refereed publications and is one of the highest cited authors in his field.
