Subject:  Web site with sound clips from ex-slave recordings

Announcement of a Web site with sound clips from ex-slave recordings:

At the NWAVE meeting this month, I demonstrated a Web site that contains
sound clips from the ex-slave recordings. One of the producers of the
radio documentary, "Remembering Slavery," asked me to create a Web site
for the project. As part of that work, I wanted to make examples of the
ex-slave recordings available to faculty and students. You will also find
a brief explanation about the background of the Works Projects Administration
 narratives and the Archive of Folk Song recordings. I hope that you
will find the Web site interesting and useful.

You don't need a special program or plug-in to your browser to play the
sound clips. You only need a Java enabled browser such as Netscape
3.0/Internet Explorer 3.0 or a later version of these browsers.

You can access the site at either of these addresses:

http://www.uncg.edu/~jpbrewer/remember/
http://www.uncg.edu/eng

The first address will take you directly to the Web site. The second
address will take you to the English homepage, which has a link (at the
bottom of the page) to the first address.

I wish to acknowledge the contributions of Timothy Flood, a research
assistant at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, in creating
this Web site.

Subject:  New Graduate Training Program


Brown University's Departments of Applied Mathematics, Cognitive and
Linguistic Sciences, and Computer Science announce a new
interdisciplinary graduate training program in:

LEARNING AND ACTION IN THE FACE OF UNCERTAINTY:
COGNITIVE, COMPUTATIONAL AND STATISTICAL APPROACHES

Deadline for Applications:  January 1, 1999

Brown University is actively recruiting graduate students for a new
NSF-supported
Interdisciplinary Graduate Education, Research and Training (IGERT)
program in "Learning and Action in the Face of Uncertainty:
Cognitive, Computational and Statistical Approaches".

The use of probabilistic models and statistical methods has
had a major impact on our understanding of language, vision, action, and
reasoning.  This training program provides students with the opportunity to
integrate a detailed study of human or artificial systems for language
acquisition and use, visual processing, action, and reasoning with
appropriate mathematical and computational models.  Students will be enrolled
in one of the three participating departments (Applied Mathematics,
Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences, and Computer Science) and will
study an interdisciplinary program of courses in topics such as
statistical estimation, cognitive processes, linguistics, and
computational models.  The aim of this program is to provide promising
students with a mix of mathematical, computational and experimental
expertise to carry out multidisciplinary collaborative research across
the disciplines of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, and
Cognitive Science.

Interested students should apply to the participating department
closest to their area of interest and expertise, and should indicate
their interest in the IGERT training program in their application.
Brown University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
