--------- POSITION AVAILABLE ----------
Adaptive Systems Research Group
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology
A post-doctoral position will be available for Fall 1993 to work
collaboratively on learning in dynamical contexts. The position will be
for one year with a possibility for renewal. The research involves the
application of neural networks and nonparametric statistical paradigms to
problems in time series analysis and forecasting. The work will likely
include theoretical analysis, development and implementation of new learning
algorithms, and empirical studies of algorithm performance on challenging
applications.
A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics,
Statistics, or Economics, strong mathematical skills, and proficiency in a
UNIX/C programming environment are required. Experience with Mathematica,
S-Plus, object-oriented programming, or building large-scale software systems
are also helpful.
Interested applicants should send a letter describing their background
and interests, a CV, a few relevant publications, and names of three
references (with addresses, phones, & email addresses) to:
Prof. John Moody
Computer Science & Engineering
Oregon Graduate Institute
PO Box 91000

Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Research Interests of Faculty in Adaptive & Interactive Systems
(Neural Networks, Learning, Speech, Language, Vision, and Control)
Etienne Barnard (Research Assistant Professor):
Etienne Barnard is interested in the theory, design and implementation
of pattern-recognition systems, classifiers, and neural networks. He is
also interested in adaptive control systems -- specifically, the design
of near-optimal controllers for real- world problems such as robotics.
Ron Cole (Professor):
Ron Cole is director of the Center for Spoken Language Understanding at
OGI. Research in the Center currently focuses on speaker- independent
recognition of continuous speech over the telephone and automatic language
identification for English and ten other languages. The approach combines
knowledge of hearing, speech perception, acoustic phonetics, prosody and
linguistics with neural networks to produce systems that work in the real
world.
Mark Fanty (Research Assistant Professor):
Mark Fanty's research interests include continuous speech recognition for
the telephone; natural language and dialog for spoken language systems;
neural networks for speech recognition; and voice control of computers.
Dan Hammerstrom (Associate Professor):
Based on research performed at the Institute, Dan Hammerstrom and
several of his students have spun out a company, Adaptive Solutions
Inc., which is creating massively parallel computer hardware for the
acceleration of neural network and pattern recognition applications.
There are close ties between OGI and Adaptive Solutions. Dan is
still on the faculty of the Oregon Graduate Institute and continues
to study next generation VLSI neurocomputer architectures.
Todd K. Leen (Associate Professor):
Todd Leen's research spans theory of neural network models, architecture
and algorithm design and applications to speech recognition. His theoretical
work is currently focused on the foundations of stochastic learning, while
his work on Algorithm design is focused on fast algorithms for non-linear
data modeling.
Uzi Levin (Senior Research Scientist):
Uzi Levin's research interests include neural networks, learning systems,
decision dynamics in distributed and hierarchical environments, dynamical
systems, Markov decision processes, and the application of neural networks
to the analysis of financial markets.
John Moody (Associate Professor):
John Moody does research on the design and analysis of learning algorithms,
statistical learning theory (including generalization and model selection),
optimization methods (both deterministic and stochastic), and applications
to signal processing, time series, and finance.
David Novick (Assistant Professor):
David Novick conducts research in interactive systems, including
computational models of conversation, technologically mediated
communication, and human-computer interaction. A central theme of
this research is the role of meta-acts in the control of interaction.
Current projects include dialogue models for telephone-based
information systems.
Misha Pavel (Associate Professor, visiting from NYU and NASA Ames):
Misha Pavel does mathematical and neural modeling of adaptive behaviors
including visual processing, pattern recognition, visually guided motor
control, categorization, and decision making. He is also interested in
the application of these models to sensor fusion, visually guided
vehicular control, and human-computer interfaces.
