[Corpora-List] PhD fellowship on ASR, FBK Trento, Italy

[Giuseppe Falavigna]

PhD Fellowship on ASR

A PhD fellowship  is available for conducting research  studies in the
field of Automatic Speech Recognition at the Human Language Technology
Research    Unit    (http://hlt.fbk.eu/en/openpositions/phd-ict)    of
Fondazione Bruno  Kessler (FBK), Trento, Italy. Research  work will be
carried out  at FBK as  part of the  PhD Program of  the International
Doctorate  School   in  Information  and   Communication  Technologies
(http://www.ict.unitn.it)   of  the   University  of   Trento,  Italy.
Interested  candidates need to  specify in  the application  form that
they intend  apply for the  project-specific grant offered by  FBK for
the  Automatic  Speech  Recognition  (ASR)  project. FBK  has  a  long
tradition  in developing automatic  transcription systems  for several
languages (information about the research group and ongoing activities
can be  found at  http://hlt.fbk.eu), the aim  of the project  will be
advancing  beyond  the  state-of-the-art  the existing  FBK  automatic
transcription  technology.  Possible research  topics include  but are
not limited  to: improving acoustic modeling for  large vocabulary ASR
(e.g.  discriminative  training algorithms, speaker  adaptive acoustic
modeling,  methods  for  fast  and efficient  adaptation  to  changing
domains, data selection methods for AM training, bootstrap methods for
under resourced  languages) and improving language  modeling for large
vocabulary ASR  (data selection  for LM training,  domain adaptation).
Details   about   requirements  of   candidates   can   be  found   at
