Dr Julie Wall

The key theme of my research to date has been the design of intelligent systems for processing and modelling temporal data. I have explored neural network architectures, in terms of biologically inspired modelling and computationally efficient machine learning, on a variety of data structures from numerical, audio, images, video, to three-dimensional feature data from virtual and augmented reality environments. From my independent research career to date, my most significant scientific contributions concern: 

• Deep learning architectures, algorithms and applications for audio, speech and natural language understanding
• Application of intelligent systems to immersive virtual, augmented and mixed environments
• Development of biologically inspired deep learning for speech recognition and enhancement
• Privacy preserving intelligent systems for audio processing
