Description:
The Media Group is responsible for the development of our cutting-edge internet telephony (VoIP) and media processing components. We are working on some exciting new product features related to speech recognition, speech synthesis, and speech analytics.
If you are self-motivated, driven, and have a perfectionist streak, we have an exciting opportunity for you. We are looking for an individual with the skills to do phonological analysis on a language and integrate it into speech recognition, speech synthesis, and natural language processing engines. The ability to create and fine-tune pronunciation dictionaries for transcribing large datasets is highly desirable.
Qualifications we look for:
- Strong background in phonology and computational linguistics
- Proficient in phonology and linguistics of multiple languages
- Experienced in development of language resources for speech recognition and text-to-speech technologies in several languages including English
- Strong understanding of fundamentals in acoustic phonetics – proven ability to learn the nuances of languages that you do not speak
- Proficient in the International Phonetic Alphabet for transcription of dictionaries
- In depth understanding of morphology and syntax of English and at least one other language
- Proven experience in understanding of processes and heuristics involved in automating linguistic tasks such as stress prediction, prosody prediction and syllabification
- Masters or Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics, Phonology, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence or related field
Qualifications that would be a plus:
- Experience with designing and executing large-scale data collection efforts for multiple languages
- 2+ years of experience with speech recognition, text-to-speech, or natural language processing
- 2+ years of experience with data mining, pattern recognition, and machine learning techniques
This can also be filled in Indianapolis, Indiana.
