Sakriani Sakti is currently the head of the Human-AI Interaction (HAI) Research Laboratory at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Japan. She also serves as a full professor at NAIST, a visiting research scientist at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (RIKEN AIP) in Japan, and an adjunct professor at the University of Indonesia.
She is also appointed as NAIST Assistant President for International Affairs, Vice Chair of the NAIST International Faculty Ambassador Program, and Head of the International Collaboration Division of Information Science.
She received her B.E. degree in Informatics (cum laude) from the Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia, in 1999. In 2000, she was awarded the DAAD-Siemens Program Asia 21st Century Award to study Communication Technology at the University of Ulm, Germany, where she received her M.Sc. degree in 2002. During her thesis work, she was affiliated with the Speech Understanding Department at the DaimlerChrysler Research Center in Ulm, Germany. She later continued her doctoral studies (2005-2008) with the Dialog Systems Group at the University of Ulm while working in Japan and received her Ph.D. degree in 2008.
She worked as a researcher at ATR Spoken Language Communication (SLC) Laboratories, Japan (2003-2009), and at the NICT Spoken Language Communication Group, Japan (2006-2011), where she contributed to the development of multilingual speech recognition for speech-to-speech translation. She was actively involved in international collaborative projects such as the Asian Pacific Telecommunity Project (2003-2007) and speech-to-speech translation initiatives including A-STAR and U-STAR (2006-2011). From 2011 to 2017, she served as an assistant professor at the Augmented Human Communication Laboratory, NAIST, Japan. She was also a visiting scientific researcher at INRIA, France (2015-2016), under the JSPS Strategic Young Researcher Overseas Visits Program for Accelerating Brain Circulation. From 2018 to 2021, she was a research associate professor at NAIST and a research scientist at RIKEN AIP. Between 2021 and 2024, she served as an associate professor at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), while also holding positions as an adjunct associate professor at NAIST, a visiting research scientist at RIKEN AIP, and an adjunct professor at the University of Indonesia. She currently holds positions as a full professor at NAIST, a visiting research scientist at RIKEN AIP, and an adjunct professor at the University of Indonesia.
She is a member of JNS, SFN, ASJ, ISCA, IEICE, and IEEE. She currently serves as a committee member of the IEEE Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee (2021-2026) and as an associate editor of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing (2020-2025), Frontiers in Language Sciences, and IEICE. She is also a Board member of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), the ELRA Language Resources Association, and the IEEE Signal Processing Society Education. Previously, she served also as a Board member of Spoken Language Technologies for Under-resourced Languages (SLTU) and as the general chair of SLTU 2016. She also chaired the "Digital Revolution for Under-resourced Languages (DigRevURL)" workshop as an Interspeech special session in 2017 and DigRevURL Asia in 2019, and contributed to the organizing committee of the Zero Resource Speech Challenge in 2019 and 2020. Furthermore, she played a key role in establishing the joint ELRA-ISCA Special Interest Group on Under-resourced Languages (SIGUL), serving on the SIGUL Board since 2018 and as its Chair since 2021. In collaboration with UNESCO and ELRA, she served as General Chair of the Language Technologies for All (LT4All) Conference in 2019, which focused on "Enabling Linguistic Diversity and Multilingualism Worldwide." Most recently, she led LT4All 2025 under the theme "Advancing Humanism through Language Technologies." Recently, she also served as Program Chair for LREC-COLING 2024 and AACL 2025, and is currently Program Chair for SLT 2026. She has served as an Area Chair for ICASSP and Interspeech, as well as a Senior Area Chair for ACL and EMNLP.
Her research interests include deep learning and graphical models, statistical pattern recognition, machine speech chain, zero-resource speech technology, multilingual speech recognition and synthesis, spoken language translation, social-affective dialogue systems, and cognitive communication.
