Biography
Larwan Berke is a Ph.D. student in Computing and Information Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). His research focuses on developing assistive technologies for Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) individuals, aiming to enhance their communication experiences through technological innovation. Specifically, he works on improving the use of imperfect Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems in real-time captioning by leveraging confidence values to provide error alerts for DHH users. Additionally, he conducts in-depth research on computational linguistics, animation generation, and linguistic analysis in American Sign Language (ASL) to create more realistic and natural ASL animations. His research contributions have been published at top-tier HCI and assistive technology conferences, such as ACM ASSETS and CHI.
