Researcher

Andreas Stolcke

Andreas Stolcke is a speech and language researcher whose work spans statistical language modeling, speech recognition, and speaker recognition. He completed a UC Berkeley PhD in 1994 and designed SRILM, an open-source statistical language modeling toolkit described in his 2002 paper. He became an IEEE Fellow in 2011 and an ISCA Fellow in 2013. At Microsoft, he presented a 2017 review of conversational speech recognition that benchmarked recognition technology against human transcription. As of October 2026, he is a Distinguished AI Scientist and vice president of AI at Uniphore and a Non-Resident Fellow at ICSI.

Timeline

  1. 1994

    A Berkeley doctorate

    He completes a UC Berkeley EECS PhD in 1994 with a thesis titled "Bayesian Learning of Probabilistic Language Models."

  2. 2002

    The SRILM language toolkit

    He designs SRILM and publishes a paper on it at ICSLP in 2002. The toolkit uses C++ libraries, programs, and scripts to build and evaluate statistical language models for speech recognition and related tasks.

  3. 2011

    An IEEE Fellowship

    At SRI, he is a senior researcher when he becomes an IEEE Fellow in 2011. The fellowship cites his contributions to statistical language modeling, automatic speech recognition, and automatic speaker recognition.

  4. 2013

    An ISCA Fellowship

    He becomes an ISCA Fellow in 2013.

  5. July 2017

    Conversational speech recognition

    At Microsoft, he presents a review of conversational speech recognition and a 2017 Microsoft experiment that benchmarks recognition technology against human transcription.

  6. 2022

    An IEEE industry speaker role

    In 2022, he serves as an IEEE Distinguished Industry Speaker for the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

  7. As of October 2026

    Applied science at Uniphore

    As of October 2026, he is a Distinguished AI Scientist and vice president of AI at Uniphore and a non-resident fellow at ICSI. His earlier roles include research or scientist positions at SRI International, Microsoft, and Amazon. At Uniphore, he directs and advises applied science work on text- and speech-based AI applications.
