Visiting Assistant Professor Position: 1999-2000 (.5 FTE)

One-year replacement position in the Department of Applied Linguistics
at Portland State University in Portland, OR, contingent upon funding
approval.  The two core areas to be covered are sociolinguistics and
phonology (including phonetics).  See our Website at
http://www-adm.pdx.edu/user/ling/ for details.

NLP at Intelligenesis Corporation, New York

The Natural Language Engineering group at Intelligenesis Corporation
currently has two openings for software engineers.  Intelligenesis is
a young, growing company located in the financial district of New York
city, building an artificial intelligence system called Webmind for
business intelligence applications.  The system is based on the latest
techniques in artificial intelligence, including dynamic systems,
neural networks, machine learning, and genetic algorithms, and on new
techniques which we are developing in-house.  We offer a
research-oriented cutting-edge work environment and flexible working
hours.

The Natural Language Engineering group is responsible for all natural
language-based tasks within the Webmind framework; this includes
textual analysis, semantic disambiguation, query processing, and
answer generation.  All of the members of the group are expected to
combine strong programming skills with an understanding of the issues
in natural language processing.

We currently have two openings for Natural Language Engineers at the
junior level.  Both positions require: - Strong Java or C++
programming skills - a degree in Computer Science or a related
discipline - some experience with linguistics or natural language
processing


Position 1: Natural Language analysis of financial texts

The engineer will be responsible for ongoing integration and testing
of the natural language module with the financial prediction module.
The position involves experimenting with different ways the
information in the natural language module can be used in financial
prediction.  We expect that the engineer will play an important role
in requirements analysis for the ongoing development of the natural
language system.  The person who fills this position will be creative
and an excellent problem solver.

Desirable expertise for Position 1:
- genetic algorithms
- natural language disambiguation
- financial analysis
- time series analysis


Position 2: Query processing

The engineer will be responsible for designing and building a natural
language query processing front-end for the Webmind system.  This will
mean making use of the natural language analysis module, in
combination with the reasoning module and Webminds understanding of
both the current user and the current context, to find the information
relevant to a query.  The engineer will play an important role in
allowing users to make direct use of Webminds natural language
capabilities.  The person who fills this position should have an
understanding of the impact of context on linguistic interpretation.

Desirable expertise for Position 2:
- information retrieval
- natural language parsing
- natural language semantics and reference resolution


We are specifically looking for people already based in the New York
area; however applications from strong candidates outside of the area
will be considered.

If you are interested please e-mail Dr. Karin Verspoor,
[log in to unmask]  Your e-mail should include:

1) a current resume
2) salary expectations
3) availability
4) an indication of which position(s) you are applying for

Salary will be commensurate with experience, and will be augmented
with stock options.

 DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS/
 CENTRE FOR SPEECH TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH
 UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH

 LECTURESHIP

The above Centre, an autonomous unit in the Department of
Linguistics, wishes to appoint a Lecturer in Speech
Technology from 1st October 1999. The appointee will be
expected to conduct and publish research of the highest
standard, to build up and lead a team of speech researchers,
and to contribute to Departmental teaching, primarily at the
postgraduate level, and to  serve in rotation as Director of
CSTR.

CSTR is one of the leading international laboratories for
speech technology and has an excellent track record of work
in speech synthesis, speech recognition and speaker
characterisation. (See http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk for a
description of current work.) CSTR is an integral part of
the Edinburgh University natural language research community
and participates in fruitful collaborations with other
groups involved in natural language generation, spoken
dialogue systems, artificial intelligence and neural nets.
There are also strong links within the Department of
Linguistics, which has a distinguished history of research
in phonetics and speech and established CSTR in 1984.

The Centre currently has  a Director, a lectureship shared
with the Division of Informatics, 5 full time and one half
time Research Fellows, 9 PhD students and 6 Associate
Members.  There are 10 on-going research projects.

Although we will consider applicants in any area of speech
technology, preference will be given to applicants with
special interests in speech recognition, to balance our
current strength in speech synthesis, as exemplified in the
Festival synthesis system.

Salary scale GBP 22332 - GBP 28545 (AT2B)

Further particulars including details of the application
procedure should be obtained from the Personnel Department,

"EPPUR SI MUOVE" _ DYNAMICS OF THE PRODUCTION 
 AND PERCEPTION OF SPEECH

                  A Satellite Symposium of the 14th International
                  Congress of Phonetics Sciences

                  July 31, 1999

                  University of California, Berkeley

Organizers:

Pierre L. Divenyi, VA Medical Center, Martinez, CA, USA

Robert J. Porter, University of New Orleans and Lambda Consulting, USA

Speech is a highly dynamic process involving intricate coordination of
the motor and perceptual systems. The physiological, physical, and
mathematical complexity of the underlying processes has posed a
significant challenge to speech researchers for many decades. Recent
advances in physiological and perceptual methods, as well as
innovations in computational approaches and models raise the
possibility that dynamics may actually carry the bulk of information
in speech and thu that is, it may represent more than just one aspect
of verbal communication. Continued investigation in these areas
promises to yield significant new insights into the dynamic properties
of speech over the next few years.

This symposium will examine the dynamics of speech from the
perspectives of production, perception, physiology, computation, and
modeling, in an attempt to provide a truly interdisciplinary framework
with which to understand spoken language. Each of the primary
presentations will be of 30 minutes duration, providing ample time for
discussion with members of the audience. In addition, there will be
two panel discussions focused on specific topics germane to more
general issues pertaining to speech dynamics.

The symposium will be held on the Berkeley campus, starting at 9:00
AM. A shuttle bus will be available to provide transportation from
downtown San Francisco. Refreshments and a luncheon buffet will be
served as part of the conference. Seating for the symposium will be
limited and therefore it is essential that interested individuals
preregister by April 1, 1999. Please send the attached registration

Call for Canadian specialists in corpus analysis


Dear Subscribers,

My colleagues and I would like to establish contact with 
Canadian specialists in corpus analysis with a view to 
e-mail exchanges, the possible establishment of a 
discussion group as well as possible cooperation in 
furthering specific research objectives, all depending, of 
course, on the number of respondents to our query. We are 
searching, in particular, for Canadian researchers with 
expertise in one or more of the following areas who have 
used that expertise for corpus analysis:

1. (Partially) automated techniques for transcribing and 
analyzing digitized speech recorded in natural (as opposed 
to studio) settings.
