Subject: [AUDITORY] Speech research internship, Seattle, WA From: Liu Gang <liugang.usa@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 21:41:16 -0800 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--000000000000d98d320582750a97 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable *Title:* Speech research internship, Seattle, WA *Time:* Summer/Fall, 2019 *About You* A wiliness to be a better you on a day by day basis. *About Us:* We enable hundreds of millions of commercial and social interactions among our users, between consumers and merchants, and among businesses every day though speech. *What You=E2=80=99ll Do* Develop and refine algorithms to improve speech system performance under adverse conditions such as noise, channel, near-/far- field mismatch. Projects ranging from Speaker/Emotion Identification to Audio fingerprinting, audio watermarking. *Skills You=E2=80=99ll Need* MSc/PhD candidate in Engineering, Computer Science or a related field Proficiency in speech enhancement and robust acoustic feature engineering is a plus Experience with speech system performance improvements under adverse condition is a plus Speaker Identification, Anti-spoofing is a plus Audio fingerprinting, watermarking is a plus Emotion Recognition is a plus Deep learning (DNN, CNN, LSTM) Familiarity with C++, Python, Matlab, Bash shell Familiarity with ASR toolkits (e.g., Kaldi), DNN toolkits (Theano) Solid publication record Application Deadline: It will be processed on a rolling basis. *Contacts: *Gang Liu g.liu@xxxxxxxx --=20 *Gang LIU * Seattle,
