Born in Ottawa, Roland Kuhn has lived in the U.S., Germany, Greece, Kenya, Turkey, and Canada. He currently lives in Ottawa. He speaks English, French, German, and some Japanese. After obtaining an undergraduate degree from Trinity College at the University of Toronto, he spent an excessive amount of time in graduate school, ending up with three MSc degrees in biology, applied mathematics, and computer science from three different universities, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from McGill University.
Since then, to the surprise of many, Dr. Kuhn has been a relatively productive citizen. He is a Principal Research Officer at a large scientific organization based in Ottawa. His expertise is principally in the fields of speech technology and machine translation. His contributions to these fields include the cache language model, the eigenvoice family of speaker adaptation techniques, and coarse bilingual language models for machine translation. He is named as an inventor or co-inventor on 31 US patents.
Dr. Kuhn is not a member of any known assassination conspiracy.
