automatic data labeling, and tighter integration of speech and dialog processing with
machine translation. The technology will be based on existing software toolkits (Kaldi

resulting from these research efforts. The consortium includes academic and industrial
partners in France (Inria, Netfective Technology), Germany (Ascora, Saarland University),

the consortium in daily collaboration with the project lead. This includes orchestrating
scientific and technical collaborations as well as reporting, disseminating, and
communicating the results. He/she will also lead Inria?s software development and
demonstration tasks.

Besides the management of COMPRISE, the successful candidate will devote half of his/her

these may include: management of R&D projects in other fields of computer science,
involvement in software and technology development and demonstration tasks, building of
industry relationships, participation in the setup of academic-industry collaborations,
support with drafting and proofreading new project proposals, etc.
