Speech and Language Processing

The LivePerson Centre for Speech and Language offers a 3 year fully funded PhD studentship
covering standard maintenance, fees and travel support, to work on deep neural network adaptive
learning modules for speech and language. The Centre is connected with the Speech and Hearing
(SpandH) and the Natural Language Processing (NLP) research groups at the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Sheffield.

This PhD stipend is funded by the Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence’s Collaboratory, Signals and Decoding. The Pioneer Centre for AI is located at the University of Copenhagen, with partners at Aarhus University, Aalborg University, The Technical University of Denmark, and the IT University of Copenhagen. There will be a cohort of PhD students starting during the fall of 2023 across the partner universities.

Tufts University has an opening for a post-doctoral researcher to engage in a cross-cutting project focusing on the development of and use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for social sciences applications. Recent advances, starting with the now classical word2vec approach to models built using attention and transformer networks such as BERT and GTP3 have shown tremendous potential for natural language modeling and automated interpretation.
