The Laboratory for AI Research Fairchild Research Center Palo Alto, California ... is searching for star-quality Computer Science and AI talent. We are building a premier research laboratory to create the key concepts and products for the coming age of intelligent systems. Our research is organized into three major areas -- Perception, Cognition and Systems. We support a mixture of both long-term basic research and advanced development; currently there are ongoing projects in: Computer-aided Design Natural Language Interfaces Consultation Systems Visual Inspection and Automation Speech Recognition Knowledge-Based Simulation and Test Generation Knowledge Representation Signal & Image Understanding Computer Graphics Semantic Information Retrieval Advanced VLSI-based Computer Architectures Our laboratory has a generous amount of varied computing equipment including a DECSystem 2060, Vax 11/780s, Symbolics 3600s, Xerox D-machines and SUN workstations; a wide variety of graphics devices including an Evans and Sutherland Multi-Picture system, and an Ikonas frame buffer/digitizer. Other more specialized equipment includes a Digital Sound 16-bit A/D D/A converter and an FPS-100 Array processor. We are continually enhancing our computing facilities and have a full-time support and operations staff. To make the state-of-the-art computing environment required by AI research we do advanced development and support in the following areas: Operating Systems Programming Environments and Languages Computer Networks Signal, Image processing and I/O Distributed Processing Electronic Messaging Document Production We need individuals with software design skills plus competence across the core disciplines of CS, EE and AI. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Please contact the laboratory director, Dr. Jay M. Tenenbaum; by Arpanet (Tenenbaum@SRI-KL), by UUCP (...decwrl!flairvax!jmt) or by mail (4001 Miranda Avenue, Palo Alto, California, 94304).
