RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP at SHEFFIELD UNIVERSITY, 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.  Applicants should
also have some programming experience (eg: C++, Matlab, Java, Python
or Perl).  Previous experience of spoken language processing is
desirable, but not essential, for this studentship.
