Dear colleagues in US colleges/universities,
I'm happy to announce the following exciting research program for undergraduate students (US citizens or permanent residents) at the University of Rochester this summer. I'd appreciate it much if you could forward it to your students.
Sincerely,
Zhiyao
Announcing: NSF
Research Experience for Undergraduates: Computational Methods for Understanding
Music, Media, and Minds
Applications now being accepted for Summer 2017
How can a computer learn to read an ancient musical score? What can methods
from signal processing and natural language analysis tell us about the history
of popular music? Can a computer system teach a person to better use prosody
(the musical pattern of speech) in order to become a more effective public
speaker? These are some of the questions that undergraduate students will
investigate this summer in our REU at the University of Rochester. Each
student will be mentored by two or more faculty members drawn from Computer
Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Brain and Cognitive Science, the
program in Digital Media Studies, and the Eastman School of Music.
The program is open to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year full time students at a college or
university, who are US citizens or permanent residents, and who will have
completed two programming courses or have equivalent experience by the start of
the summer program. Students do not need to be computer science majors. We
encourage applications from students attending colleges that lack opportunities
for research, and from students from communities underrepresented in computer
science.
