interdisciplinary research training programme that aims close the gap
between speech science and technology, focussing on a number of
overlapping research areas, each of which includes components from
speech science and speech technology:
* Articulatory instrumentation and modelling
* Speech synthesis
* Speech recognition
* Human-computer dialogue systems
* Inclusive design
* Augmentative and alternative communication
for further details see:
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/edsst/research.html
You should have a first or upper second class honours degree or its
equivalent, and/or a Masters degree, in Informatics or
Linguistics. Informatics includes areas such as Artificial
Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Information
Engineering, and Computational Linguistics. Linguistics includes areas
such as Phonetics, Speech Science, Speech and Language Therapy, and
Human Communication Sciences. Applicants with degrees in these
disciplines will also be considered: Electrical Engineering,
Psychology, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Physics.
