Join us as we sit down with Hynek and Morgan to talk all things speech research. We’re getting into the real stuff: why they started, whether they actually had a "grand plan" or were just following their curiosity, and how they decide which projects are actually worth the effort.
We also get into the technical weeds (in a good way) on things like energy efficiency and the battle between neural nets and knowledge-driven models. Plus, there’s plenty of solid advice for students on finding mentors, dealing with those brutal paper rejections, and knowing when to move fast versus taking it slow.

How can we convince students to write papers on why they did their research? 01:32:35 - farewell 01:33:10 - outro
