To work on unified methodologies to extract information from speech that allows to infer a variety of speech properties relating to the emotional state. Methods should be robust and the work should keep further speech attributes in mind. The position is funded by the Innovate UK (UKRI) project MAUDIE and by IIKE in collaboration with Emotech Ltd. Salaries are at University of Sheffield grade scales 7.1 - 7.9, and the opening is for 12 months.

To work on robust methods for direct recognition from the raw waveforms - to achieve robustness against environmental effects. Work should focus on telephony, but further multichannel input is of interest. Funding for 3 years, in the context of the Voicebase Centre for Speech and Language Technologies.

Diarisation is the process of recognising who speaks when, with as little prior knowledge as possible. To this day it is implemented as a multi-stage process. Research should focus on integrating what is now typically 4 stages of processing into an end to end . Funded by UKRI for 3.5 years. Funding details to be announced soon.

To work on methods that allow to increase the productivity of Movie Voice Dubbing methodology through advanced speech technology. The aim is to develop and implement methods that can help media specialists in foreign language dubbing to produce spoken translations that fit perfectly to the visual content. The project work is in conjunction with Zoo Digital who provide access to rich and very large media archives.
The position is funded by the Innovate UK (UKRI) project MAUDIE . Salaries are at University of Sheffield grade scales 7.1 - 7.9, and the opening is for 2.5 years.

To work on novel deep learning methods for building recognition systems that can operate in several languages, methods for adapting recognition systems to languages with minimal data, methods that allow automatic inference of language attributes, or methods of unsupervised adaptation to new languages.

Post Doc position: Integrating Models of Vision, Knowledge and Language
=======================================================================
(computer science, computational linguistics, physics or similar)

Statistical models of natural language so far have only considered the preceding words as a context. We would now like to generalize this to include also knowledge from images or data bases. To this end, suitable neural network architectures will be explored and their properties analysed. Alternative machine learning based approaches will also be considered.

Requirements: The successful candidate should have a master's degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Physics or a related discipline, with a strong background in mathematics and programming. A good command of English is mandatory as English is the working language of the department.

The position is full time on the German E13 scale and subject to the final approval by the funding agency. Starting dates are anticipated to be between July and October, 2018. The appointment will be for up to four years.

About the department: The department of Language Science and Technology is one of the leading departments in the speech and language area in Europe. The flagship project at the moment is the CRC on Information Density and Linguistic Encoding. Furthermore, the department is involved in the cluster of excellence Multimodal Computing and Interaction. It also runs a significant number of European and nationally funded projects. In total it has seven faculty and around 50 postdoctoral researchers and PhD students.

How to apply:

Please send us:
* a letter of motivation,
* your CV,
* your transcripts,
* a list of publications,
* and the names and contact information of at least two references,

as a single PDF or a link to a PDF if the file size is more than 3 MB.

Please apply by April 10th, 2018.

Contact: If you are interested in the project, please send an email to Dietrich Klakow (dietrich.klakow@lsv.uni-saarland.de)
