Research Associate/Senior Research Associate in Speech Processing

See also the original advertisement at http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/-18422/

A position is expected to become available for a Research Associate, or Senior Research Associate, to work on a new 4 year project funded by the US Government. The project will develop speech recognition and keyword spotting techniques aimed at situations with only small amounts of language-specific data. This research will build on the current CUED HTK-based speech recognition systems. This is an opportunity to work in a research group with a world-leading reputation and there are excellent opportunities for publications, travel and conference visits. Successful candidates would be expected to have a PhD or equivalent experience in speech recognition, word spotting or a closely related area as well as a very good first degree in engineering, computer science or a closely related field.

Further details about the work in group may be viewed at http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/~mjfg or obtained from Dr Mark Gales mjfg@eng.cam.ac.uk. To apply complete form CHRIS /6 (cover sheet for C.V.s) available at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/ and send with your C.V. and covering letter to Rachel Fogg, Department of Engineering, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1PZ, (Fax +44 01223 332662, email div-f@eng.cam.ac.uk

Senior Research Associate or Research Associate

Applications are invited for the position of Research Associate or Senior Research Associate to work on the EU Parlance Project which aims to build robust statistical spoken dialogue systems in open domains. The specific area of responsibility for this position concerns the development of speech recognition and understanding to support noise robust incremental dialogue in which partial phrases are decoded and interpreted on-the-fly whilst the user is still speaking. Candidates should have a PhD or comparable research experience in a relevant area. Salaries will be in the range £27428 to £44016 depending on qualifications and experience, and the position is open for an immediate start.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the leading groups in statistical spoken dialogue systems. Cambridge provides excellent research facilities and there are extensive opportunities for collaboration, visits and attending conferences. Further information on the work of the Dialogue Systems Group can be found at http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/research/dialogue

Prospective candidates should send their CV as soon as possible to Professor Steve Young (sjy@eng.cam.ac.uk).

<		 Applications are invited for two research positions in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and statistical speech synthesis. These will be associated with projects based in the Dialogue Systems Group at the Cambridge University Engineering Department.

One project is to develop methods to automatically evaluate English-speaking skills of non-native speakers in oral tests. The specific task is to investigate non-native speech recognition and associated scoring approaches. This position is available immediately.

The second project concerns the development of dialogue systems for interactive web-search using natural conversation with specific interests in fast adaptation and noise robustness for real-time speech recognition; and expressive statistical synthesis with rich contexts. This position will be available in the fall of 2011.

HTK and ATK is used as the speech recognition platforms for all our projects. The successful candidate will be familiar with HMM based speech recognition or synthesis techniques. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in adaptation techniques, noise robustness, end-to-end implementation of speech recognition systems, and familiarity with the ATK/HTK platform. Candidates who have or will shortly have a PhD are preferred although candidates with comparable research experience are also encouraged to apply. Salaries will be in the range £27428 to £46696 depending on qualifications and experience.

Research Associate in Statistical Dialogue Systems, Dialogue Systems Group

Applications are invited for a research position in statistical spoken dialogue systems associated with projects based in the Dialogue Systems Group at the Cambridge University Engineering Department.

The main focus of the work will be on the development of techniques and algorithms for implementing robust statistical dialogue systems which can reconfigure on-line using dynamic ontologies with the aim of providing natural conversational spoken access to hyper-local web-based information sources. This work will build on our existing dynamic Bayesian Network dialogue management framework and a new micro-turn architecture which provides a sophisticated natural turn-taking capability.

The successful candidate will be familiar with machine learning and Bayesian Networks and preference will be given to candidates with experience in spoken dialogue systems. Candidates should have, or will shortly have, a PhD. However, candidates with comparable research experience are also encouraged to apply. Salaries will be in the range £27428 to £35788 depending on qualifications and experience.
