Dear all,

• Project Executive Officer

• Postdoc
• Postdoc

These projects have been sponsored by Prasar Bharati, India’s Public Service Broadcaster, and involve working closely with Prasar Bharati on their data.

One project focuses on audio-based content retrieval, where the query is an audio or text, and the search content is audio. We will be developing state-of-the-art technologies using deep learning methods for various tasks such as
- Music Information Retrieval

- Audio Search

- Human in the loop learning

And the second project focuses on building automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for English, Hindi, and some other Indian languages for generating subtitles. It is a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) task. 

IIT Kanpur houses a vibrant intellectual community on a campus endowed with natural beauty and great support for families (https://iitk.ac.in/new/faculty-staff-campus-life).
