We enable hundreds of millions of commercial and social interactions among our users, between consumers and merchants, and among businesses every day though speech. We are on the top a gold mine of high quality big data with millions of real data samples. *What You=E2=80=99ll Do* Develop and refine algorithms to improve speech system performance under adverse conditions. To be specific, we will assign either of the following project to you according to your background: 1)* Speaker recognition*: feature engineering, modeling, deep learning, system fusion 2) *Acoustic Event Identification:* data purification, audio event classification, abnormal audio event detection At the end of internship, a conference paper is expected. *Skills You=E2=80=99ll Need* MSc/PhD candidate in Engineering, Computer Science or a related field Proficiency in audio signal processsing and robust acoustic feature engineering is a plus Experience with speech system performance improvements under adverse condition is a plus Speaker/Language/Accent Identification is a plus Speaker Recognition Anti-spoofing is a plus Deep learning (DNN, CNN, LSTM) Familiarity with C++, Python, Bash shell Familiarity with ASR, DNN toolkits Solid publication record *Contacts:* Gang Liu g.liu@xxxxxxxx --=20 *Gang LIU * Seattle, Washionton https://sites.google.com/site/GangLiuResearch
