Machine Learning Mathematician
Unique opportunity to work at the leading edge of research and development
within natural language speech recognition and be based in the centre of
London, UK.
Work on an exciting new EU funded programme as part of a prestigious
pan-European consortium conducting applied research in speech recognition
and understanding, multi-modal dialogue management, personal information
management, user modeling, adaptation and rapid dialogue application
development.
Exciting opportunities for scientists contributing to the design &
development of a new class of natural language speech recognition solutions.
The development of current and new research is required to generate adequate
language recognition models for non-trivial domains and the fusion of
multi-modal information with updated databases (to feed a mobile 3G
service). The project deploys new research in natural language
understanding, specifically: (1) Sophisticated dialogue management that
adapts to the experience and style of the user; and (2) An advanced language
model capable of integrating and unifying several models of linguistic
knowledge.
ROLE
Be a visionary expert behind the application of machine learning techniques
to spoken language understanding systems. Apply your expertise in machine
learning algorithms to invent, develop and apply new approaches to language
model development, processing and semantic extraction.
SKILLS/EXPERIENCE
Candidates must hold a good first degree in a numerate discipline, and a
second degree (Ph.D. preferred) in Machine Learning. You should be able to
demonstrate your ability in developing innovative solutions to real world
problems. Direct experience of spoken language systems is preferred,
although it is not required, but candidates must demonstrate an enthusiasm
for the field, and an ability to rapidly apply their knowledge in new
domains.
COMPANY
Dynamic organisation with a well focussed and talented team of developers
and scientists working within a stimulating environment. The work will be
undertaken in conjunction with an international consortium of industry
leaders from the commercial and academic world.
LOCATION
London (central) with some opportunities for European/worldwide travel.
SALARY
Depending on experience competitive to secure the most talented and
experienced candidates.
