Pattern Recog Organization: University of Chicago -- Academic Information Technologies Date: Wed, 24 May 1995 20:20:25 GMT Postdoc/Research Associate in automated signal recognition We are launching a major new effort to develop techniques for automated identification/recognition of animal vocalizations under real-world conditions. Two laboratories will be involved, one which will have primary responsibility for collecting and annotating field recordings of animal vocalizations, whereas my lab will have primary responsibilities for developing the analysis procedures. The primary responsibilities of the research associate will include algorithm development and evaluation, reporting results, as well as immediate oversight of the project. The individual should have familiarity with a variety of recognition approaches for acoustic signals, for example dynamic time-warping, hidden Markov models, and artificial neural networks (TDNN and recurrent backprop). Background in speech recognition is probably helpful but is not essential. Oversight responsibilities will include 1) interacting with a programmer (see related advertisement), 2) interacting with another postdoc/ research associate who will interface with the other laboratory, and 3) helping to manage the local computer resources. These will comprise a compute server (of the class of SGI Power Challenge or DEC Alpha), workstations, a large disk farm, and a large (TB) near-line storage facility. The salary range is $20,000 to $40,000, depending on experience. The project will be conducted under contract with an anticipated start-date of July, 1995. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Via e-mail, fax, or surface mail, send CV, a statement of interest, background, and qualifications, and names and contact for references.
