Dr. Emdad Khan

Visiting professor business visionary, Dr. Emdad Khan, spoke to MIU Computer Science graduate students and faculty on the topic, “Big Data, Natural Language Understanding and Intelligent Agent Based Web.” He explained that his work in this area has led to the startup of InternetSpeech, which allows people to unleash the power of the Internet simply with a standard telephone and the sound of their voice.  He founded the company in 1998 with the vision to develop innovative technology for accessing information on the Internet anytime, anywhere, using just an ordinary telephone and the human voice.

As a pioneer in the Internet voice space, Dr. Khan is a frequent speaker at Natural Language, Voice-Recognition, Internet applications, bridging the Digital and Language Divides and other academia & industry conferences and trade shows. He holds 23 patents and has published more than 50 journal & conference papers on the advent of voice technology on the Internet, content rendering, Natural Language Processing/Understanding, Big Data, Bioinformatics,neural nets, fuzzy logic, intelligent systems, VLSI and optics.

Khan’s acute technical knowledge and keen understanding of emerging markets has played an important role in the development of InternetSpeech’s first product/service, net ECHO, the only product available today that delivers complete voice Internet access.

During his career, Dr. Khan invented, defined, developed and deployed worldwide new intelligent software products for micro-controller-based home appliances. He has also created and deployed speech recognition Internet applications. He has 20 years of experience with large semi-conductor companies, including Intel and National.

Dr. Khan is doing active research. His current major interest is to use brain-like and brain-inspired algorithms to solve some open problems, especially, NLU (Natural Language Understanding) which is very well aligned with InternetSpeech’s next generation products & services to allow users (especially disadvantaged people) to interact with the Internet using their natural language, and thus help their economic, social and other developments. Solving NLU problem using a Semantic Engine has numerous applications including Intelligent Information Retrieval, Big Data, Question & Answer System and Biology. He is the author of the book “Internet for Everyone: Reshaping the Global Economy by Bridging the Digital Divide”.

Prof. Khan has taught courses at universities and industry conferences on VLSI, Neural Net, Fuzzy Logic, Artificial Intelligence, Speech & Natural Language Processing, Algorithms & Software Engineering. He holds a doctorate in computer science, master of science degrees in electrical engineering and engineering management, and a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering.
