Career

Vaissière studied computing and automatic language translation under the supervision of Bernard Vauquois, at Centre d’Etudes et de Traduction Automatique, University of Grenoble, where she earned her PhD in 1971. She joined the Speech Communication Group at MIT (headed by Pr. Ken Stevens),[1] where she acquired a specialization in acoustic phonetics.[3]

When the speech processing community moved towards black box models for recognition and synthesis, Jacqueline Vaissiere left the Centre National d'études des Télécommunications and chose to become a professor at the Sorbonne Nouvelle, where she succeeded René Gsell in 1990. Together with Annie Rialland, Jacqueline Vaissière headed the Phonetics and Phonology Laboratory at Paris 3/CNRS: Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie until 2013.[4]

From 2011–2014 she coordinated the 10-year project " Laboratoire d’Excellence " Empirical Foundations of Linguistics."[5][6]

In 2010, she was elected "Membre de L'Institut Universitaire de France".[7]
