Vaclav Hanzl

Spent most of my professional life (LinkedIn, CV+Publications) in Speech Recognition doing acoustic and language models and creating highly optimized decoders for most types of hardware you can imagine (and likely for some you cannot). Occasionally, I do various divertimento projects outside AI, like typesetting a Japanese textbook or software for a scary hydraulic machine or web about my wife's books. I am fascinated by similarities in computer and living beings architectures ever since I realized that RNA is both software & hardware. Biochemistry is my life long hobby and since I found the OpenFold project, I am trying to learn biochemistry for real.

Fascinated by similarities in computer and living beings architectures ever since I realized that RNA is both software & hardware. Love opensource because successful opensource tends to be well designed.

Here is some free software I (mostly) wrote:

• hacktrack: Move windows by four fingers on trackpad - I use it daily and frankly I love this feature and any computer without it feels broken :)
• prak: Czech phonetic alignment tool - this is my gift to people doing Czech phonetics. I also have it as a PyTorch playground. Adléta wrote the Praat script part (too scary for me) and carefully researched the user needs to make sure we do a useful thing.

You can find me at Mastodon. (I still have Twitter but mostly do not use it anymore.) You can also find me on Printables - see my hot new Molecules for protein folding!
