Sony is a leading manufacturer of audio, video, communications, and
information technologyproducts for the consumer and professional markets.
It's music, motionpictures, television production, computer entertainment
and online business that makes Sony one of the most comprehensive broadband
network companies in the 21st century. Our Advanced Technology Center is
where innovations and future generations of products are being developed to
meet the requirements and needs of the worldwide markets and customers. We
are employing over 100 engineers andscientistsfrom more than 20 countries.
As the largest Sony research facilityin Europewe are constantly looking for
engineers and scientists in the areaof ComputerScience, Electrical
Engineering and Information Technology aswell as otherprofessions. Join our
team in Stuttgart.
SCIENTIST - SPOKEN DIALOG
You will join a team who will work on the technology that Sony believes
holds a range of new possibilities for our products in the future. We are
concentrating on long-term research developing new algorithms for
multimodal dialog systems assisting the user in accessing content and
information. In this spoken dialog plays a key role. We are currently
searching for scientists who can joinour R&D efforts on speech
understanding, dialog managment, domainmodeling,and multi-modal output
generation.
The range of activities our new team members will work on comprises
- basic and applied R&D
- algorithm development
- experimental work
- cooperation with partners within EC funded projects
You will require software engineering background and should be able to
demonstrate previous experience in at least one of the following fields
- spoken dialog
- speech understanding
- ontologies
- artificial intelligence
- computational linguistics
SCIENTIST - SPEECH RECOGNITION
You will join a team who will work on the technology that Sony believes
holds a range of new possibilities for our products in the future. We are
concentrating on long-term research developing new algorithms for
multimodal dialog user interfaces. In this speech I/O plays a key role. We
are developing our own technology to be able to integrate it tightly with
the other modalities.Our isolated word recognizer has recently been
included in the AIBO entertainment robot. We concentrate our current R&D
activities on robustness and language modeling issues in continuous speech
recognition.
The range of activities our new team members will work on comprises
- basic and applied R&D
- algorithm development
- experimental work
You will require software engineering background and should be able to
demonstrate previous experience in at least one of the following fields
- speech recognition
- speech synthesis
- speech processing
- language modeling
- statistics
SCIENTIST - USABILITY
You will join a team who will work on the technology that Sony believes
holds a range of new possibilities for our products in the future. We are
concentrating on long-term research developing new algorithms for
multimodal dialog systems assisting the user in accessing content or
information. We integrate several I/O modalities such as speech, gesture,
graphics, handwriting.
You as a specialist in usability will be responsible for usability issues
in several of our R&D projects. We believe that it is necessary already at
R&D level to incorporate the user in order to focus the R&D on the actual
user needs. We want to employ an iterative design process to our dialog
systems. Your activities will comprise
- design of our dialog systems for various application scenarios
- usability studies
- coaching of scientists to incorporate results of the usability study
- cooperation with partners in EC funded projects
Some software engineering background is appreciated.
