You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Education and early career==
Robinson studied natural sciences at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge University]] between 1981 and 1984, where he specialized in physics. He went on to complete an MPhil in computer speech and language processing in 1985 and continued with a PhD in the same area in 1989, both at Cambridge. He first published on the topic of speech recognition during his PhD<ref>((cite journal|last1=Robinson|first1=Anthony John|title=Dynamic Error Propagation Networks|journal=PhD Thesis|date=June 1989|url=https://www.academia.edu/30351419|accessdate=17 May 2018))</ref> and has published over a hundred widely cited research papers on automatic speech recognition (ASR) in the years since.<ref>((cite web|last1=Robinson|first1=Tony|title=Tony Robinson - Profile|url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tony_Robinson|website=ResearchGate|accessdate=17 May 2018))</ref> Robinson became an [[EPSRC]]-funded research fellow in 1990 and a Lecturer at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge University]] in 1995.

==Entrepreneurial career==
In 1995, Robinson formed SoftSound Ltd, a speech technology company which was acquired by [[HP Autonomy|Autonomy]] with a view to using the technology to make unstructured video and voice data easily searchable. Robinson helped build the fastest large vocabulary speech recognition system available at the time, and operating in more languages than any other model, based on recurrent neural networks.<ref>((cite book|last1=Robinson|first1=Tony|last2=Hochberg|first2=Mike|last3=Renals|first3=Steve|title=Automatic Speech and Speaker Recognition |chapter=The Use of Recurrent Neural Networks in Continuous Speech Recognition |date=1996|volume=355|pages=233–258|doi=10.1007/978-1-4613-1367-0_10|series=The Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science|isbn=978-1-4612-8590-8|citeseerx=10.1.1.364.7237))</ref>

From 2008 to 2010, Robinson was the Director of the Advanced Speech Group at [[SpinVox]], a provider of speech-to-text conversion services for carrier markets, including wireless, VoIP and cable. Their Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system was, for a time, being used more than one million times per day and SpinVox was subsequently acquired by global speech technology company [[Nuance Communications|Nuance]].<ref>((Cite web |date=2011-06-24 |title=Nuance Acquires SpinVox |url=https://www.hcinnovationgroup.com/home/news/13016153/nuance-acquires-spinvox |access-date=2023-09-09 |website=Healthcare Innovation))</ref>

Robinson was also founder of [[Speechmatics]], which launched its cloud-based speech recognition services in 2012. Speechmatics subsequently announced a new technology in accelerated new language modeling late in 2017.<ref>((cite web|last1=Orlowski|first1=Andrew|title=Brit neural net pioneer just revolutionised speech recognition all over again.|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/07/17/tony_robinson_speechmatics/|website=[[The Register]]|publisher=Situation Publishing|accessdate=17 May 2018))</ref> Robinson continues to publish papers in speech recognition technology, especially in the area of statistical language modelling.<ref>((cite report |last1=Chelba |first1=Ciprian |last2= Mikolov |first2=Tomas |last3=Schuster |first3= Mike |title= One Billion Word Benchmark for Measuring Progress in Statistical Language Modeling |eprint= 1312.3005 |publisher= Cornell University Library |year= 2013))</ref>
