Geoffrey Zweig
Geoffrey is an AI Director and supports the Multimodal Video Understanding team. He focuses on machine learning algorithms that understand the full spectrum of audio and visual content signals. These algorithms enable key applications in search, ranking, content creation, monetization, and content moderation. Prior to Facebook, Dr. Zweig led research teams at IBM, Microsoft, and JPMorgan Chase, in the areas of speech recognition, dialog systems, NLP, and time series analysis. He received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in AI, has published over 80 conference and journal papers, holds numerous patents, and is an IEEE Fellow.

From Senones to Chenones: Tied Context-Dependent Graphemes for Hybrid Speech Recognition
There is an implicit assumption that traditional hybrid approaches for automatic speech recognition (ASR) cannot directly model graphemes and need to rely on phonetic lexicons to get competitive performance, especially on English which has poor…
