Subject: Post-doctoral position in Speech Processing, Lille, France From: Davy Manuel <Manuel.Davy(at)EC-LILLE.FR> Date: Tue, 24 May 2005 12:32:39 +0200Post-Doctoral Position At CNRS, Lille, France Title: Speech processing using kernel methods Context and Topic: Performance of state-of-the-art speech recognition systems has greatly improved over the last years. However, these systems do not fully take advantage of today's computer computation and memory capabilities. Kernel learning methods, such as Support Vector Machines, have recently undegone a huge development, and already give excellent results in fields such as image processing, when compared to other more classical approaches. The aim of this post-doc is to apply and develop kernel techniques so as to improve the performance of speech recognition systems. Place: The position is based in the Laboratoire d'Automatique, de Génie Informatique et Signal (LAGIS) in Lille (North of France). The LAGIS Laboratory is one of the major CNRS laboratories in Signal Processing and Automatic Control in the North of France. The position is also connected to the France Telecom Research Center situated in Lannion (Brittany, France). Duration: The position is for one year, and it may start as soon as possible Scientific supervision: This research work will be supervised by Dr Manuel Davy (CNRS researcher, Lille) (google his web page) and Dr Lionel Delphin-Poulat (France Telecom Researcher, Lannion) Informations and applications: Additional informations can be obtained from Dr Manuel Davy (Manuel dot davy at ec dash lille dott fr) and from Dr Lionel Delphin-Poulat (lionel ddott delphinpoulat at francetelecom dott com) - change 'dot', 'dash' and 'at' to obvious corresponding symbols. Applications should be emailed to Dr Manuel Davy (including CV and two reference letters)
