Dr. phil. Claudio Fantinuoli
Claudio Fantinuoli is a Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the University of Mainz/Germersheim and is Head of AI at Kudo Inc. He is the founder of the CAI tool InterpretBank. He also teaches an introductory class in Speech-to-Text translation and Augmented Human Interpretation at the Post Graduate Center of the University of Vienna and is a consultant for several bodies of the European Institutions in areas such as speech recognition, speech translation and computer-assisted interpreting.
Claudio is interested in multilingual communication and the diverse approach to speech translation between humans and machines as well as in how new technologies, especially AI, can support human interpreters. To gain insights into these questions, he develops and studies computational systems to automatically translate speeches or to assist interpreters in doing so. The ultimate goal of Claudio's research is to empower human interpreters in their activity, bring about a more precise characterization of what is unique in human interpretation, and empower normal people to break down the language barriers by means of automatic speech translations.
