The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.
Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

robust mechanisms for extracting system level understanding from spoken
inputs that accompany inking on a map.
Provide the method and logic for integration of language applications into
Adapx research modules and product line. Design, develop, and user-test
system(s) that will leverage the next generation of speech and handwriting
applications to meet user needs. Reports to VP Research. No direct reports.

language processing and modeling in both speech and handwriting applications;
-Develop tools for efficiently processing corpora of speech and/or
sketch/handwriting data;
-Work with a team of researchers and developers to successfully integrate
research components and validate functionality;
-Prepare written documentation describing progress and status of project(s);
-Conduct, integrate, and synthesize qualitative and quantitative research
to generate useful and actionable insights to guide product design and
development; translate ideas into viable solutions.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES REQUIRED:
-Understanding of Spoken/Natural Language Processing, and a broad knowledge

handwriting applications, grammar construction and usage, parsing, tagging,
lexicon construction, and fusion of outputs from multiple parallel recognizers;
-Experience with Nuance speech processing modules and APIs;
-Experience with AT&T's FST Toolkit, Google's OpenFST or related toolkits.
Due to the nature of this position only US Citizens or Permanent Residents
