In the fields of natural language processing and computational linguistics, Julia Hirschberg's name is almost synonymous with "innovation" and "leadership". As a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University and a member of the National Academy of Engineering, she is not only renowned for her academic achievements, but also has influenced global technological development by promoting the practical application of human-computer interaction technology. She has served as the President of the International Society for Speech and Communications (ISCA) and has served as a council member in organizations such as the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). These positions make her a key bridge connecting academia and industry. In 2016, she was awarded the IEEE James L. Flanagan Speech and Audio Processing Award, which recognizes her innovation in speech signal processing technology; The Scientific Achievement Medal awarded by ISCA recognizes her breakthrough in the fundamental theory of speech research. In 2024, Hirschberg announced her joining of the Asia Pacific Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAIA), indicating that her technological ideas will further influence the development of AI in the Asia Pacific region. Currently, she is exploring how to integrate emotional computing into multilingual speech systems, such as developing translation tools that can recognize dialect differences. This type of technology is expected to solve the cultural barriers in communication among multinational corporations.
