Deadline: Feb 27, 2015
This summer, the University of Washington is hosting the Jelinek Summer
Workshop on Speech and Language Technology (JSALT), in cooperation with
the JHU Center for Speech and Language Processing. The JSALT Workshop
will run from June 22 through August 14, including a 6-week research
effort with three teams of senior researchers and students, preceded by a
2-week series of tutorials on speech an language processing for the
students involved. This undergraduate summer research experience is
unique in that it integrates research and education through tutorials
targeted at specific research challenges, and in that the selected
students will participate in cutting edge research as a member of a team
that includes leading scientists from industry and academia. Support
for students includes housing and a stipend. We are looking to attract
new talent into the field, so the students are not required to have
prior knowledge of language engineering. This year, the research topics
will include deep neural networks for robust far-field speech
recognition, continuous-space models for wide-band machine translation,
and probabilistic transcription of speech with non-native-language
transcribers. More information on these projects is available at the
application website:

Applications are due February 27. If you have questions, contact Mari Ostendorf (mo@ee.washington.edu).
