Joseph (Yossi) Keshet (Hebrew: יוסי קשת; born: 28 February 1973) is an Israeli professor in the Computer Science Department at Bar-Ilan University, and head of the Speech, Language and Deep Learning Laboratory.[1]
Early life and education
Joseph (Yossi) Keshet was born in Tel-Aviv. He graduated from the Amal School and began his academic studies at the Department of Electrical Engineering – Systems at Tel-Aviv University in 1991 and received his B.Sc. (Cum Laude) in 1994. Keshet served in the IDF Unit 8200 from 1995 to 2002 as the head of the speech processing research section in the R&D Center. During his service, he received a national award from the Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure (Maf’at).[1] Keshet received his M.Sc. from the same department after he completed his IDF service in 2002. His Dissertation: Stop consonant spotting in continuous speech, was supervised by Dr. Dan Chazan from IBM Research Labs, Haifa. He continued his Ph.D. studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem until 2008. Prof. Yoram Singer supervised his thesis on Large Margin Algorithms for Discriminative Continuous Speech.[2]
Career
Keshet was a Research Associate (postdoc) at IDIAP Research Institute, Martigny, Switzerland in 2007,[3] and joined the TTI-Chicago and Department of Computer Science, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL in 2009 as Research Assistant Professor.[4] In 2013 he returned to Israel and joined the Computer Science department at Bar-Ilan University, where he is currently a professor and head of the Speech, Language, and Deep Learning Lab.
Research
According to Google Scholar (September 2020), Keshet is one of the 15 most cited researchers in the field of spoken language processing.[5]
The algorithms that were developed in the Speech, Language, and Deep Learning Lab can analyze different pathological conditions in the throat and vocal cords based on the subject’s voice.[6] [7][8] Other algorithms showed that the voice can be used to estimate physical and emotional state of the speaker.[9] Another research led by Keshet suggested that it is possible to fool structured AI systems (like Google Voice).[10]
Membership in professional societies
Keshet is the founder and chair of the Machine Learning for Speech and Language Processing Special Interest Group (SIGML) of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), from 2011.[11] He is a senior member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society since 2018[12] and a member of ISCA since 2002.
Personal life
Keshet is married to Lital. They have three children.
