Hi, I'm Lucas. I'm interested in speech recognition — meeting transcription, auto-captioning and lyric transcription from video, and the code-switching speech people actually use. I'm also a hip-hop artist under TH Cho (“TH” is my Korean name, Taehwan), and I try to blend the two — building ASR pipelines for music. Today I'm working on ASR and speaker ID for AI smart glasses at Gobi, while finishing my MS in AI at Northeastern.

CHO
Hi, I'm TH Cho — TH is my Korean name, Taehwan. I make Korean hip-hop and pop in the lane of Don Toliver, Yeat, Choi Seong, C Jamm, and Yang Hong Won, and I love mixing and mastering as much as writing. I lead MAVERICK, a Seattle Korean rap crew that started as roommates making music for fun. My debut album POP OUT! is out now.
