Software developer/researcher in handwriting recognition

[Michael Revow]

            Microsoft Handwriting Recognition Group
               Software Developer/Researcher
Responsibilities center on incorporating research into the Microsoft
Handwriting Recognition (HR) engine. Experience in handwriting
recognition technology is not required, but a solid background in
Computer Science, Mathematics, or Statistics is needed, as is the desire
and ability to learn new techniques from textbooks or research papers.
The HR engine is being developed for a variety of languages and includes
components that implement neural nets, hidden Markov models, signal
processing, statistical search, n-gram statistical language modeling,
and context-free grammar language modeling. Improvements to the HR
engine are targeted at increasing performance and accuracy, and
improving usability problems for mainstream use in applications, such as
note taking into Microsoft Office or the TabletPC.

Qualifications required include at least a Bachelors degree in Computer
Science, Mathematics, EE/Signal Processing, or related field. An
advanced degree would be desirable. A strong interest and ability to
write and support your own code in C/C++ is crucial to being successful
in the group.
