The Speech and Language group at Canon Research Centre Europe (CRE) is
expanding rapidly. We have a number of positions for exceptionally
talented research scientists and top quality software engineers.
Canon has 70,000 employees worldwide and is an acknowledged
world-leader in many markets, including cameras, photocopiers and
printers. Constant innovation underlies Canon's success and at CRE you
will have the opportunity to play a significant part in this.
The roles are at levels from fresh PhD/exceptional graduate to
experienced researcher/engineer. We are looking for people with a
first-class academic background in computer science, electrical
engineering, computational linguistics, physics, mathematics or
similar quantitative science, a high degree of curiosity and the
ability to learn quickly - self-motivated people who like to
continuously improve and excel.
We are looking for:
Speech recognition: we require researchers to further develop our
compact speech recogniser and software engineers to integrate it
into advanced products.
Speech understanding: we require researchers to take leading roles
shaping a young project on interactive voice driven technology. We
also need software engineers for product integration of this
system.
Information retrieval: we require software engineers to work on
implementations of our information retrieval technology for
networked multimedia applications.
Product conceptualisation and prototyping: we require software
engineers with strong interest in user interface and product
design issues to develop simulations and prototypes of new product
concepts integrating our speech and language technologies.
We offer an excellent working environment and a highly competitive
salary and benefits package.

Cycorp, a leader in development of software with common sense, has
opportunities for 1 or 2 individuals to join our NLP effort.
These positions involve working with the Cyc(TM) technology -- an
immense, broad, multi-contextual knowledge base which our group has
developed over the last fourteen years. The Cyc(TM) knowledge base,
spanning fundamental human knowledge, enables a multitude of
knowledge-intensive products and services which will revolutionize the
way in which people use and interact with computers: semantic
information retrieval, consistency-checking of structured information,
deductive integration of heterogeneous data bases, natural language
interfaces able to cope with realistic levels of
ambiguity/terseness/contextualization, and many more.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to contribute to our
natural language interface for Cyc. We are particularly interested in
candidates with several of the following kinds of experience and
abilities:
o Strong programming skills in C, C++, or Lisp
Successful applicants will be instrumental in designing and
implementing an interactive dialog system and other interface tools
for information retrieval, database integration, knowledge entry, and
ontological integration. They will work with Cycorp's diverse team of
linguists, programmers, and ontological engineers to improve our
existing natural language capabilities and create prototypes of
commercial products incorporating NLP and Cyc's common sense knowledge
and reasoning.
