     Summer Scholarships in Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence
     (Digital Audio, Computer Music, Language Learning, Robot Worlds)

	 	   Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
		     Department of Computer Science
	       The Flinders University of South Australia

Applications are invited from students with good programming skills to
work on a research project in digital audio and computer music or a
research project on learning natural language (syntax/grammar and
robot world ontology/semantics).

The projects will be conducted in the Computer Science Department at
Flinders University of South Australia over the summer break
(Dec97-Feb98).  Precise dates are subject to negotiation.  The
expected duration of the project would be 8 to 10 weeks, with the
total stipend for a student varying between $2000 and $4000 depending
on qualifications and duration.  Overseas candidates are welcome to
apply and proposals for a different time period will be considered.

The positions ideally suit students who are completing 3rd or 4th year
and plan to continue on to honours or postgraduate study.  Preference
will be given to students interested in continuing their studies in
this area at Flinders.  A distinction-level average in relevant
coursework is expected, and students may request to be considered for
entry into our Honours program.

Knowledge or interest in any of the following would be an advantage,
but is not essential:

 -- digital audio
 -- digital signal processing
 -- music
 -- acoustics
 -- perception
 -- Matlab
 -- robotics
 -- vision/image processing
 -- speech processing
