Harvey Donnelly

Hello! I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, studying computer science and cognitive science.

My research at the CL Group (computational linguistics group), supervised by Professor Gerald Penn, is focussed on developing novel machine learning techniques to predict speech signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) using ASR error as a proxy signal.

At the CoNSens Lab (cognitive neuroscience & sensorimotor integration lab), I am researching deep reinforcement learning models of feature integration in the brain for sensorimotor grasping tasks, under the supervision of Professor Matthias Niemeier.

I am currently interested in researching shared semantic representations between language and vision, and how they relate human and machine cognition. In my spare time, I like to go on long walks, preferably by the sea. Sometimes I like to make art too.

Research Interests: Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing, Deep Reinforcement Learning, Computational Neuroscience, Computer Vision, Automatic Speech Recognition, Semantic Representations
