Giridharan Iyengar

A Research Staff member at IBM's T.J.Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York.

I am in the Human Language Technologies department, working on audio-visual speech technologies, mainly AV speech recognition and AV speech event detection.

Biography:

Before joining IBM, I completed my Ph.D. (1999) from the MIT Media Laboratory. My thesis "Characterization of Unstructured Video" (email giyengar@us.ibm.com for a copy) looked at distributional clustering algorithms for video retrieval applied to cataloguing of home videos. The focus of this work was to build a set of tools that analyze, characterize and prepare casually shot footage for interesting reuse such as making refrigerator magnets, postcards etc. More details in my school homepage.
