Job Title: Senior Research Scientist
Job Rank: Other; Senior Research Scientist

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 


Description:

At Nuance, we empower people with the ability to seamlessly interact with
their connected devices and the digital world around them. We are creating a
world where technology thinks and acts the way people do by designing the most
human, natural, and intuitive ways of interacting with technology. 

Our nimble technology uses analytics and advanced algorithms to transform the
inanimate into animate and reduce complicated processes into simple ones.

We are currently hiring a Senior Research Scientist for our Aachen office to
work as part of a team responsible for advancing state-of-the-art ASR accuracy
through language model research and development, with primary focus on
cutting-edge Dragon Anywhere products. Position will involve large statistical
model development; big data analysis; experiments and tuning to improve core
model performance; contributing to the model building code base including
internal deep learning toolkit; and staying up-to-date on current research
trends in the field.

You'll have the chance to work with over 40 languages and have real world
impact on products sold in the healthcare and enterprise businesses, such as
Dragon TV voice control and our ambient clinical intelligence product that
enables clinical documentation to write itself (see links below!)

You will:
- Conduct experiments to assess the quality of language models for automatic
speech recognition, as well as associated natural language processing
technology (such as automatic punctuation prediction).
- Analyze product usage data to identify areas of product and model
improvement.
- Implement new algorithms, recipes, and NLP prototypes, utilizing Python and
standard deep learning toolkits (TensorFlow, PyTorch, CNTK, or similar)
- Conduct experiments efficiently on a large, distributed research grid.
- Discuss and presenting ideas, progress, and results within the research
team, and working with others on the team to share ideas and responsibilities

You should have:
- Experience in speech technology, statistical machine translation, or natural
language processing
- Excellent programming skills (Pyton or other) with knowledge of standard
data structures and algorithms
- Significant experience using Unix/Linux and shell scripting
- Version control software such as git or svn
- Solid written and oral English communication skills
- Master’s or PhD in computer science, computational linguistics, deep
learning, or a related field 

Preferred but not essential:
- 2+ years of professional development experience
- Explicit (industry or academic) experience with large vocabulary speech
recognition
- Expertise in one or more of the following areas: machine learning,
statistical modeling, deep learning, numerical optimization, data mining,
algorithm design, software engineering, computational linguistics
- Expertise with deep learning toolkits, such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or CNTK
- Spoken and/or written proficiency in other (non-English) languages
