[Corpora-List] 2008 R&D Internship and Fellowship Programs at ETS

[Higgins, Derrick]

The Educational Testing Service has just released an announcement about
its 2008 Internship and Fellowship Programs in Research.  The areas of
interest for these programs encompass computational linguistics and
speech processing in addition to educational measurement and
psychometrics.  As a nonprofit organization engaged in the design and
delivery of educational services, ETS has access to exceptional corpus
resources which offer unique opportunities for linguistic research.

Particular areas of active research within the ETS natural language
processing group include:
*	Using machine learning to identify particular classes of errors
in spoken and written English (especially that of non-native speakers),
*	Automated scoring of spoken and written test responses,
*	Using NLP in the creation of test materials,
*	Improving the robustness of NLP techniques (such as parsing and
semantic analysis) to text which contains errors or infelicitous usage,
and
*	Improving the accuracy of speech recognition on non-native
spoken English.


Please see the attached announcement for more information.
