Nanette Veilleux writes: “I have been granted a Fulbright award to teach computer science at the Fulbright University in Vietnam (FUV). Fulbright is a liberal arts institution, somewhat of a novelty outside of the U.S. My students are engaging and enthusiastic. They are working on a project to implement an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system in various Vietnamese dialects. The FUV students have weekly Zoom meetings with Simmons University students (my home institution), who are implementing an ASR system for Amharic (the official language of Ethiopia). It’s great to see this international collaboration. Ho Chi Minh City is a wild, high-octane, cosmopolitan place.”
