About:

Chen is in his forth year of the Computer Science Ph.D. program at the University of Rochester. Working with Dana H. Ballard, he is developing a computational model of lexical acquisition which is able to associate spoken words with their perceptually grounded meanings.

Research Interests:

My research interests include machine learning, human-computer interaction, integration of speech and vision, speech processing and computer vision. In my thesis, I am working on developing a computational model of lexical acquisition which is able to learn spoken words with their perceptually grounded meanings from raw sensory inputs and in purely unsupervised mode. The central idea is to make use of non-speech contextual information to facilitate word spotting, and utilize inference of speakers' referential intentions from their body movements, which we termed embodied intention, as deictic reference to discover temporal correlations of data from different modalities to build lexical items.
