Brian Kan-wing Mak is a Professor of Computer Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His research focuses on automatic speech recognition, speaker adaptation, artificial neural networks, and artificial intelligence. His work explores methods to enhance speech recognition systems, particularly in challenging environments, and develops techniques for speaker verification and sign language recognition. He has contributed to the development of robust algorithms for word boundary detection, endpoint detection, and multitask learning for low-resource speech recognition. His research also includes natural language-assisted sign language recognition and cross-lingual text-to-speech synthesis for voice cloning.
