The mission of ILASH is to promote interdisciplinary and

modelling, artificial intelligence, linguistics, speech and language
pathology, speech technology, computational psychology and neural
networks.

The Facilitator should be familiar with a wide range of
computer-based research tools in these areas of study and should

UNIX systems skills. The work will include guiding and assisting

their research, maintaining a comprehensive view of the tools
available locally and remotely, and assisting with research, all as
directed by the Board of ILASH.
