Description
Position Announcement: Research Assistant A graduate Research Assistantship is currently available in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Marquette University. This position will be associated with a recently funded NSF project on "Integration of Stochastic and Dynamical Methods for Speech Technology". The goal of this research is to discover time-domain analysis techniques using dynamical systems methods that will lead to improved analysis of speech signals and to improvements in speech recognition accuracy. This goal represents the integration of two traditionally distinct research fields: statistical signal processing and chaotic systems. Since signal processing is fundamentally based on linear systems theory and the study of chaos is inherently non-linear, these fields have little or no overlap outside of the fact that both attempt to model the behavior of physical systems. This research will integrate these very different viewpoints by applying stochastic analysis and modeling tools from the signal processing field to the problem of analyzing embedded phase spaces obtained from chaotic systems analysis of time-series signals. The Speech and Signal Processing lab and Knowledge and Information Discovery lab are associated with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Marquette, located in Milwaukee, WI (http://www.milwaukee.org). Marquette University is a well-known graduate and undergraduate institution with over 10,000 students and a long history of academic excellence. Interested individuals should send a letter of interest to Dr. Mike Johnson at Mike.Johnson@Marquette.edu or to Dr. Richard Povinelli at Richard.Povinelli@Marquette.edu, as well as applying to the Marquette Graduate School at http://www.grad.mu.edu. Compensation includes tuition reimbursement as well as a $15,000 stipend for a one-year renewable period beginning August 2001 or January 2002. Ideally, applicants will have had previous exposure to one or more of the following areas: signal processing, speech processing, data mining, machine learning, statistical pattern recognition, evolutionary and genetic algorithms, chaos and dynamical systems. Post-doctorate positions are also available. Additional contact information: Dr. Mike Johnson 1515 W.
