[Corpora-List] Visiting Student Position in Spoken Language Understanding (NLP+Speech+ML) at TTI-Chicago

[Kevin Gimpel]

Applications are sought for a paid visiting student position as part of a
broad interdisciplinary project on spoken language understanding involving
natural language processing, speech processing, and machine learning. The
visiting student will work primarily with TTI-Chicago faculty Mohit Bansal (
http://ttic.edu/bansal <http://ttic.uchicago.edu/~mbansal>), Karen Livescu (
http://ttic.edu/livescu <http://ttic.uchicago.edu/~klivescu>), and Kevin
Gimpel (http://ttic.edu/gimpel <http://ttic.uchicago.edu/~kgimpel>), and
will also have opportunities to collaborate with other TTIC and University
of Chicago faculty/researchers as relevant.

The broad goal of the work is to advance text-based NLP tasks (e.g.,
syntactic parsing) via speech cues, using and developing deep learning and
multi-view learning techniques. The specific focus of the student’s project
will be determined by mutual agreement based on the student's background
and interests.

The position will be based at TTI-Chicago, a computer science graduate
institute located on the University of Chicago campus, with vibrant
research groups in machine learning, speech and language processing, and
computer vision. The duration of the position is flexible (6 to 18 months).

Applicants are expected to have strong qualifications in machine learning
(preferably deep or multi-view learning), and ideally also natural language
processing (preferably syntactic parsing) or speech processing. Applicants
should have a Bachelor’s degree in a related field, preferably pursuing a
MS/PhD degree.

The target start date is Fall or Winter 2014. Compensation includes stipend
and tuition (if applicable). There are no citizenship requirements for this
position. The position will remain open until filled.

Please direct questions and interest in the position to slu-job at ttic.edu.
Complete applications should be sent to the same address and consist of:

1) brief cover letter, describing your interest in and qualifications for
the position

2) curriculum vitae including publication list

3) two or more letters of reference (preferably directly emailed to
slu-job at ttic.edu, or contacts who can supply letters on request)
