| More Information: | PhD Fellowship on ASR
A PhD fellowship is available for conducting research studies in the
field of Automatic Speech Recognition at the Human Language Technology
Research Unit (http://hlt.fbk.eu/en/openpositions/phd-ict) of
Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Trento, Italy. Research work will be
carried out at FBK as part of the PhD Program of the International
Doctorate School in Information and Communication Technologies
(http://www.ict.unitn.it) of the University of Trento, Italy.
Interested candidates need to specify in the application form that
they intend apply for the project-specific grant offered by FBK for
the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) project. FBK has a long
tradition in developing automatic transcription systems for several
languages (information about the research group and ongoing activities
can be found at http://hlt.fbk.eu), the aim of the project will be
advancing beyond the state-of-the-art the existing FBK automatic
transcription technology. Possible research topics include but are
not limited to: improving acoustic modeling for large vocabulary ASR
(e.g. discriminative training algorithms, speaker adaptive acoustic
modeling, methods for fast and efficient adaptation to changing
domains, data selection methods for AM training, bootstrap methods for
under resourced languages) and improving language modeling for large
vocabulary ASR (data selection for LM training, domain adaptation).
