At our November 2 meeting Sagar Savla, senior product manager for Google’s Artificial Intelligence Research Team, will describe major features in Google products that are useful for the Hard of Hearing and Deaf, including apps such as Live Transcribe, a phone app that captions live conversations. His presentation will be followed by a Q&A period. Mr. Savla’s interest in captioning originated in his desire to find ways to help his grandmother communicate as her hearing loss progressed.
Originally from Bombay, India, he has given talks in over 20 countries on topics like Ethical Hacking, Artificial Intelligence and Javascript. He has won multiple awards for his work in tech competitions. He earned a master’s degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology for his research in the fields of machine learning, user experience and privacy policies. Prior to this, he worked at Facebook on data science and virtual reality; on the best dispatch system at Lyft; and on fraud detection at PayPal.
