Senior🎓
Top SchoolHuang-Cheng Chou is a Postdoctoral Scholar and NSTC Fellow with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, specializing in speech emotion recognition and affective computing. Over a decade he has translated academic insight into production gains—creating benchmarks and training methods that boosted data utilization by 12%+ and model accuracy by up to 25%, while achieving >30% model compression for deployment. His industry experience includes improving Alexa ASR with SER features (29%+ WER improvement) and integrating streaming emotion recognition into edge devices at RealTek. With 37+ peer-reviewed publications and cross-continental research stints (including UT Dallas and National Taiwan University), he blends rigorous annotation studies on human subjectivity with work on audio-centric LLMs and instruction-guided TTS. Based in Los Angeles, he combines deep algorithmic expertise with practical systems optimization, often focusing on robustness and calibration in real-world settings. An understated strength is his track record of turning subjective, noisy emotion labels into measurable performance gains that scale from lab to product.
