Tony Robinson is a researcher in the application of recurrent neural networks to speech recognition,[1][2][3] being one of the first to discover the practical capabilities of deep neural networks and its application to speech recognition.
He went on to complete an MPhil in computer speech and language processing in 1985 and continued with a PhD in the same area in 1989, both at Cambridge.
Robinson helped build the fastest large vocabulary speech recognition system available at the time, and operating in more languages than any other model, based on recurrent neural networks.
[7] From 2008 to 2010, Robinson was the Director of the Advanced Speech Group at SpinVox, a provider of speech-to-text conversion services for carrier markets, including wireless, VoIP and cable.
[9] Robinson continues to publish papers in speech recognition technology, especially in the area of statistical language modelling.
