DESCRIPTION:Over the past 25 years I have been lucky enough to work on a h
 ost of fascinating technologies\, from biometric verification techniques\,
  to speech recognition\, image processing\, and most recently\, advanced m
 athematical modelling applied to signal detection and classification.\n\nI
 n this presentation\, I will reflect on a number of overlapping mathematic
 al themes and their real-world application.\n\nSpeaker Biography: Dr Paul 
 St John Brittan is a Principal Consultant and subject matter expert at L3 
 TRL specialising in the exploitation of structure\, however obscure\, to d
 etect\, classify\, and utilise features of interest.  Prior to joining L3 
 TRL\, Paul worked at Infinitive Speech Systems\, developing a framework fo
 r spoken dialogue systems\; held the position of visiting academic at MIT\
 , working on multi-modal data fusion\; and spent seven years at HP Researc
 h Laboratories as a senior research engineer.  In 1992 Paul received a PhD
  from the University of Kent for research into the distribution of statist
 ical classification techniques over parallel processors.\n
