[Stellenangebote] Student Assistant at DFKI Speech & Language Technology | up to 20h/week

[Leonhard Hennig]

DFKI <https://www.dfki.de/en/web>’s Speech and Language Technology 
Department (SLT) 
<https://www.dfki.de/en/web/research/research-departments/speech-and-language-technology> 
addresses the use of AI for analysing, generating and interacting 
through spoken and written language. Its focus is on information 
extraction from written text and from spoken language, on knowledge 
technologies, and on interactive chatbots. We are particularly 
interested in core research on learning in low-resource settings, 
reasoning over larger contexts, and continual learning. We strive for a 
deeper understanding of human language and thinking, with the goal of 
developing novel methods for processing and generating human language 
text, speech, and knowledge. An important part of our work is the 
creation of corpora, the evaluation of NLP datasets and tasks, and the 
explainability of (neural) models.

In order to strengthen our dedicated team in Berlin we are looking for
