ATTN JUNIORS: The Johns Hopkins Center for Speech and Language Processing is hosting the 2016 Jelinek Summer Workshop on Speech and Language Technology (JSALT).
ATTENTION EE JUNIORS
--------------------------------------------------
Subject: Undergraduate Spots on Supported Summer Research Teams
The Johns Hopkins Center for Speech and Language Processing is hosting the 2016 Jelinek Summer Workshop on Speech and Language Technology (JSALT). We are seeking outstanding members of the current junior class to join a summer research workshop on language engineering from June 13 to August 5, 2016.
The 8-week workshop provides an intense intellectual environment. Undergraduates work closely alongside more senior researchers as part of a multi-university research team, which has been assembled for the summer to attack some problem of current interest. The teams and topics for summer 2016 include:
* Detecting Risk and Protective Factors of Mental Health using Social Media Linked with Electronic Health Records
* Remote Monitoring of Neurodegeneration through Speech
* Building Speech Recognition System from Untranscribed Data
We hope that this stimulating and selective experience will encourage students to pursue graduate study in human language technology, as it has been doing for many years.
The summer workshop provides:
* An opportunity to explore an exciting new area of research
* A two-week tutorial on current speech and language technology
* Mentoring by experienced researchers
* Participation in project planning activities
* Use of cloud computing services
* A $5,500 stipend and $2,240 towards per diem expenses
* Private furnished accommodation for the duration of the workshop
* Travel expenses to and from the workshop venue

ECE Department Procedures for Graduating Magna and Summa Cum Laude
ECE Department Procedures for Graduating
Magna and Summa Cum Laude
An EE major pursuing the magna or summa cum
laude status the following timeline must be followed to complete the Honors Thesis,
research project by the time of graduation. To graduate with magna or summa you
must maintain an upper division GPA of 3.50 or 3.80 respectively. If
you do not complete a thesis, your honors will be reverted to Cum Laude status.
1.
Identify your research project and Research
Supervisor 3-4 semesters prior to graduation and meet with the Undergraduate
Coordinator for approval of research project. Complete the Honors Thesis
Submission Form and submit a scanned copy to undergraduate advisor via
email. The ECE department has five
research divisions to assist you in identifying an area of interest and the
associated faculty members. The Undergraduate Coordinator can also assist you
with identifying appropriate faculty members. Further information can be found
at: http://www.ece.ufl.edu/content/divisions.
2.
Once your research is defined and approved by
your Research Supervisor you must form a supervisory committee consisting of at
least two other faculty members. Generally
the research supervisor serves as your Chair of this committee. Of the two remaining
members, one must be from the ECE department and the other must be from an
outside department or even outside the college. Your Research Supervisor can
aid you in the selection of the committee members. Additional committee members
can be added if desired. Additional members should be discussed with your
Research Supervisor. Once your research topic is approved and your committee
has been formed work on the research can begin. You must meet with your Research Supervisor
regularly to ensure that the work is properly progressing. Weekly meeting are
recommended.
3.
During the last semester before graduation you
will complete the thesis and/or research project, present results in a formal
defense before the entire committee, and submit your thesis along with all
