POSITION: programmer/software engineer with specialization in
signal processing analysis of speech
SALARY: approx. $26K/year
LOCATION: Phonetics Laboratory, University of California, San Diego
TENURE: present to October 1984, possibly longer
We are developing models of speech perception within an "interactive
activation" framework and are looking for a software engineer
with experience in signal processing analysis of speech to assist
in the project.
The project involves developing techniques for carrying out parallel
processing within a system of computationally simple (but highly
interconnected) elements, and applying these techniques to the task
of speech understanding in a way which has some psychological and linguistic
plausibility. The current simulation is able to extract
16 features from speech input and recognize a limited number of
phonemes and words.
Duties involve developing software for signal processing of speech data,
assisting in the development and refinement of acoustic/phonetic feature
extraction, helping maintain UNIX (4.1bsd) operating system running on
a VAX 11/750 computer, and helping in psycholinguistic experiments
which may be carried out in conjunction with modeling efforts.
Prior experience with speech recognition techniques essential. Experience
with UNIX and the C programming language highly desirable. Experience with
graphics desirable but not essential.
