Research Studentships
Magee Awards: Intelligent Digital MultiMedia Interfaces
Faculty of Informatics
One research studentship is available within the MultiMedia Systems and
Artificial Intelligence research group of the Faculty of Informatics. The
focus of the research will be to investigate the integration of the
computational processing of digital multimedia (e.g. spoken dialogue,
natural language and visual advanced interfaces) incorporating the modelling
of emotions and automated storytelling with application to e.g. intelligent
web-browsing and medical informatics.
The studentship will comprise fees at the EU or Home rate and an annual
maintenance allowance of £10,000.
Applicants should hold or expect to gain by September 2001 a minimum of an
upper second class honours degree and/or Master's degree in intelligent
digital multimedia, computer science, cognitive science or a related
subject, and have good experience in, and be prepared for, computer
programming, scientific experimentation and the use of existing software
tools.
