Bernhard Suhm is the Director of Professional Services in the AVOKE Call Center Analytics group at BBN Technologies. He has over 14 years of experience in speech recognition and interface usability. He recently rejoined BBN from Enterprise Integration Group (EIG), where he worked as a Sr. Consultant for two years. The Call Center Analytics group at BBN offers unique tools and services that allow call centers to optimize caller experience in a comprehensive fashion by analyzing calls end-to-end. The data-driven analyses methods that he co-developed mine end-to-end calls in a statistically rigorous way for opportunities to optimize IVR and speech dialogs, as well as how agents handle call.  Prior to working at BBN, he spent several years with Interactive Systems Laboratories at Carnegie Mellon and Karlsruhe Universities on research in multilingual speech translation and multimodal interfaces. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science 1998 from Karlsruhe University (Germany) for his research on multimodal error correction. Bernhard has co-authored several patents, and published papers on design and deployment methodologies, speech interface usability, multimodal interaction, speech-to-speech translation, and statistical language modeling.
