MAXIMUM ENTROPY MODELLING FOR THE SUMMARIZATION OF SPOKEN LANGUAGE
The Speech and Hearing (SpandH) Research Group in the Department of
Computer Science, University of Sheffield, UK has a funded PhD
studentship in the area of maximum entropy modelling for the
summarization of spoken language. This award is available from
October 2001, with a duration of 3 years subject to satisfactory
progress. The studentship will be part of a new EPSRC project,
S3L: Statistical Summarization of Spoken Language. For more
details see: http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/spandh/projects/s3l
Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in Computer
Science, Electronic Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or some other
discipline with a strong mathematical grounding. Applicants should
also have some programming experience (eg: C++, Matlab, Java, Python
or Perl). Previous experience of spoken language processing is
desirable, but not essential, for this studentship.
