	Speech Recognition Systems Position Available

    	   International Computer Science Institute

                        Berkeley CA


The International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) in Berkeley,
California now has a position available in the Realization Group.  This
is a staff position with a focus on speech recognition system design.
The job will involve both research and development. Applicants should
have several years of experience in designing and writing speech
recognition software, and have an interest in developing recognizers
that incorporate results from basic research within the group. It would
be best if the applicant also had experience in speech research as
well, although development experience is the more important
qualification.  Ordinarily, applicants will have a Ph.D., although
strong professional experience can substitute for this requirement.

The Realization group at ICSI does a combination of hardware, software,
and algorithms for research and development of systems for speech
processing and other machine implementations of human signal processing
and pattern recognition.  In the past, much of the emphasis has been on
hybrid neural network/ hidden Markov model based speech recognition,
robust recognition in the context of additive and convolutional noise,
study of robust properties of the human auditory system, and research
into the interaction of statistical sequence recognition with robust
signal processing.  Hardware and software tools also continue to be
developed in the group, leading to strong capabilities for training
with computationally intensive algorithms.  The group includes a strong
group of Berkeley CS and EE graduate students, as well as by fruitful
collaborations with other researchers (including Greenberg from
Berkeley, Bourlard from Belgium, Hermansky from OGI, Cohen and Franco
from SRI, and Robinson from Cambridge U). The group is led by Nelson
Morgan.

ICSI is an independent, non-profit basic research institute affiliated
with the University of California campus in Berkeley, California, and
is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
