Transcript: English(auto-generated)
00:12
I'm studying computer science, specifically ASR, automatic speech recognition, and I'm using that as a tool for accessibility for the deaf community.
00:27
Actually I have. I've met a few people at this conference, and it's been really fascinating to see how their perspective and my perspective intersect. Some people are machine learning experts, some people are accessibility experts, and it's been really interesting to see the intersection and how it comes together as human
00:44
computer interaction, which is a really new and fascinating field for me. It's really been a wonderful experience. HLF has been good with providing an interpreting team, so I've been able to communicate with everyone here, not just access the presentations or workshops.
01:03
It's been invaluable for me to be able to socialize and get feedback on my research and feedback on my life. This has been an excellent experience, and I'll never forget this week.
01:25
Sure. I've met a few people here, for example, who have talked about how their research has related to a larger context, and deaf people really value that perspective. As a deaf person, I can't just stay in a lab all day.
01:42
I have to figure out how I can have a larger impact on the deaf community, and being here has given me an avenue to find how it is that I can impact the larger society and the world.
02:02
Well, five years ago, I was an undergrad student studying math, and at that time, I wasn't sure if I wanted to pursue a PhD. But now, I know for sure that in the next five years, I will continue my work, I will continue to be a part of the larger scientific community, and I will look for intersectionality in ideas that I can research.
02:28
I've always loved to travel, and this opportunity has kind of been a two-in-one for me. It's a scientific conference where I can talk about my research, but it's also been some personal growth, seeing a new culture, eating new food, and meeting with a variety of
02:42
people that have come here from around the world. We've talked late into the night oftentimes, and I can say that I haven't slept as well as I probably could have, but I'm okay with that.
03:02
I know that communication can be challenging, especially when you're talking about advanced math and science, and I've often felt sorry for my interpreters. It's been overwhelming, but it's also been a team effort. And also, when other people come up, they understand my needs, and they will talk about things that are relevant to the conference, and they've been really friendly and understood
03:21
the interpreting situation, and like I said, it's been a team effort, and it's been really nice to have people to talk with and understand that communication is key. Hopefully more deaf people will attend this conference, not just me.
03:41
I'd love to see that expand. I'd love to see the scientific community grow. I'd love to see more women, deaf, and disabled people, because we have a lot to contribute to this, and we could benefit a lot from this. And having that support has helped me be successful in my life.
