Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Research Assistantships Available:

Our National Science Foundation sponsored research project focuses on 
integrating multiple knowledge sources for robust human-machine 
communication.
Our research group has been investigating models of dialogue that can 
support robust and flexible interaction between people and computer 
systems.  
We are interested in building systems that can recognize user intentions 
and
respond to them and that can formulate and act on intentions of their 
own.  
Specifically, we aim to address two important research issues:

       1. To provide a uniform representation of the different kinds of
          information that influences people's understanding of an 
ongoing 
          dialog and that allow for the detection of potential problems, 
such 
          as misunderstanding, misconceptions, and digressions.  For 
example, 
          we want to build a representation of the beliefs that have been 
          expressed or entailed by the participants during a dialog.

       2. To provide reasoning methods for integrating and employing this
          information to achieve the following tasks:
             -- Interpreting utterances and identifying problems as 
                they arise;
             -- Invoking a planner to produce relevant utterances and 
                repairs;
             -- Deciding when and how to take control of the dialog, 
allowing 
                that either the system or the user could be in control.
          For example, we want to provide methods for recognizing when 
          communication is breaking down and for addressing the problem.

Evaluation of the research will employ two intelligent tutoring systems 
that 
are under development.  We aim to deploy these systems with end-users in 
the 
Milwaukee area.

These positions require a M.S. or B.S. in Computer Science. It is 
anticipated
that the research associated with these positions will lead to doctoral 
dissertations. (The master's program in CS also includes a thesis.)

The starting date for these RA positions is anticipated to be fall 1997.  
Duration is contingent upon appropriate progress in both research and 
academic requirements.

To apply for an RA, you should submit a copy of your academic transcript, 
a resume, a 1-2 page statement of interest, the phone number and email 
address of 2-3 people willing to serve as references, and copies of 
relevant 
publications. This information should be directed to the address below.

For admission to UWM, a separate application to the graduate school will 
be 
required.  UWM has "rolling" admissions.  To receive notification about 
an 
RA in time to apply for admission to UWM starting fall 1997, RA 
applications 
should be received by June 1, 1997. (Applications received after that 
date 
will be considered in time for either the fall 1997 or spring 1998 
semester.) 
To obtain an application, phone graduate admissions at (414) 229-4982.

Questions about these positions should be directed to the following 
address.
