RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP at UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD, UK

MAXIMUM ENTROPY MODELLING FOR THE SUMMARIZATION OF SPOKEN LANGUAGE

The Speech and Hearing (SpandH) Research Group in the Department of
Computer Science, University of Sheffield, UK has a funded PhD
studentship in the area of maximum entropy modelling for the
summarization of spoken language. This award is available from
October 2001, with a duration of 3 years subject to satisfactory
progress. The studentship will be part of a new EPSRC project,
S3L: Statistical Summarization of Spoken Language. For more
details see: http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/spandh/projects/s3l

Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in Computer
Science, Electronic Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or some other
discipline with a strong mathematical grounding. Some programming
experience (eg: C++, Matlab, Java, Python or Perl) is also required.
Previous experience of spoken language processing is desirable, but
not essential for this studentship.
