6-9 (2012-04-02) Research position in Spoken Language Dialogue Systems Development for Serious Games ; University of Ulm Germany
  

Research Position with perspective of a PhD degree in Spoken Language
Dialogue Systems Development for Serious Games

The Dialogue Systems Group (www.dialogue-systems.org) in the Faculty of
Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of Ulm is seeking a
researcher at MSc level to work in the area of Spoken Dialogue
Management for Serious Games. The research topic will fit into the
scientific context of the group (including Intelligent, Adaptive and
Proactive Spoken Language Dialogue Interaction, Semantic Analysis, and
Dialogue Modelling) but will be adapted to the expertise of the candidate.

The dialogue management system will manage the communication between
mobile nodes that are connected via a mobile adhoc network (MANET). Due
to the mobility of the nodes and limited range of wireless transmissions
the underlying network topology and link quality frequently changes. In
order to build an adaptive dialogue management system the network can
provide the system with information about the available resources (such
as segmentation and link quality). In turn the dialogue manager can
request different Quality of Service for individual communications (such
as low latency, delay tolerance or high reliability)

Perspective: PhD Thesis.

Requirements: Good programming skills in C, C++, Perl, VoiceXML, Java,
JavaScript and experience with Unix/Linux are highly desirable;
expertise in speech and dialogue technologies would also be appreciated.

The appointment (0,5 TVL) has a fixed duration of 36 months.

Candidates should send their application electronically to
wolfgang.minker@uni-ulm.de. The application should include a short
resume, the names of two referees and a transcript of records with the
results of exams relevant to the MSc Degree. A pdf-version of the MSc
Thesis may also be included.
