Connectionists: RA positions in mobile robot navigation guided by natural language

[Jeffrey Mark Siskind]

Seeking applicants for one or more potential research assistantships (RA) for
people interested in pursuing a PhD at the intersection of computer vision,
robotics, natural language processing, machine learning, and AI. These
positions are funded by a NSF NRI (National Robotics Initiative) grant to
study grounding the semantics of natural language in the navigation of mobile
robots. Recent manuscripts describing the project include:

(Please note that these manuscipts are under review and are posted only for
the purpose of recruiting graduate students.)

Interested parties can send an informal application to qobi at purdue.edu
including a cover letter expressing what aspects of the project you are
interested in and what particular experience and qualifications you bring that
are relevant to the project, a CV, your GRE scores (and TOEFL scores if
applicable), your undergraduate transcripts, (and your transcripts from a
masters degree if applicable). Please include URLs for any prior publications
you have in refereed venues. Formal application must be done through the
official Purdue University application process for graduate school.
