  2. INTRODUCTION PUBLIC DOMAIN TECHNOLOGY • Pioneering public domain software for over 15 years

  3. INTRODUCTION SPEECH RECOGNITION RESEARCH? • Why do we work on speech recognition? “Language is the preeminent trait of the human species.” “I never met someone who wasn’t interested in language.” “I decided to work on language because it seemed to be the hardest problem to solve.” • Why should we work on speech recognition? • Antiterrorism, homeland security, military applications • Telecommunications, mobile communications • Education, learning tools, educational toys, enrichment • Computing, intelligent systems, machine learning • Commodity or liability? • Fragile technology that is error prone

  4. TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION RETRIEVAL • Metadata extraction from conversational speech • Automatic gisting and intelligence gathering • Speech to text is the core technology challenge • Machines vs. humans • Real-time audio indexing • Time-varying channel • Dynamic language model • Multilingual and cross-lingual

  5. SUMMARY GRADUATE STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES • ISIP will grow significantly this year • Requires advanced graduate coursework such as machine learning and signal processing • Must aspire to obtaining a Ph.D. • Must be competent at programming (e.g., C++, Java, Unix) • Must have excellent written and verbal communication skills • See opportunities for more details
