PhD Studentship in Speech Technology
Applications are invited for a 3 year PhD studentship at the Department of
Computer Science, University College Dublin, in a research initiative in the
area of multilingual speech and language technology funded by Science
Foundation Ireland. Ubiquitous language technology concerns the development
of language technologies for different purposes on different platforms so
that they can be made available to everybody at all times rather than to a
select group for specific purposes. MUSTER Multilingual Ubiquitous Speech
Technology: Enhanced and Rethought combines a rethinking of current
approaches to speech and language technologies with an enhancement based on
information of varying levels of granularity paving the way for the
development of robust multilingual applications which are easily scalable.
The MUSTER team is made up of researchers from computational linguistics,
speech technology, experimental phonetics and computer science. The defined
area of research for this PhD studentship is acoustic signal processing with
particular emphasis on multilinear feature extraction for multilingual
applications. The successful candidate will be expected to be familiar with
statistical approaches to speech recognition and be interested in developing
feature extraction models using acoustic phonetic information. The
studentship covers a monthly stipend and payment of fees. The successful
candidate will work as part of the MUSTER team. (General requirements for
postgraduate students at UCD are listed under http://www.ucd.ie/pgstudy/).
Further information on the MUSTER project, together with publications, can
be found at the project web page: http://cspeech.ucd.ie/~cliste/muster/
