Dr. phil. habil. Claudio Fantinuoli
Innovator, Researcher and Founder in Speech Technologies
About
My areas of work are computer-assisted human interpreting and real-time machine interpreting, which essentially means that I study and design NLP/AI systems to augment human interpreters and translate speech automatically, with the human user at the center. Personally, I'm passionate about the intersection of mind, brain (including computational) and language.
Short biography
I studied conference interpreting and I hold a PhD in Applied Linguistics and an Habilitation in Interpreting Studies. I have taught at the University of Innsbruck, at the Postgraduate Center of the University of Vienna and at the Karlshochschule International University. My career in NLP/AI started at Eurac Research. Today I'm a lecturer and researcher at the University of Mainz, an innovator for KUDO Inc. and a consultant for international institutions such as the European Parliament. I'm also the founder of InterpretBank, a CAI tool for professional interpreters.
