Google has an exciting and innovative internship program for students pursuing degrees in a variety of different areas. We’re looking for students pursuing degrees in computer science (or closely related areas) who love to problem-solve, code and design. If you like working on challenging and intriguing problems in an entrepreneurial environment that respects creative approaches and solutions, a Google internship is for you!
Internships are full-time positions and are available year round. Start and end dates are flexible with regard to academic schedules, but you will be expected to commit to at least three months of full-time work. We want to make sure we provide you a valuable learning experience and a deeper understanding of Google’s work environment, culture, and delicious food.
Currently, we are accepting applications for internships that start during the months of April, May, June, and July. Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply early. A limited number of on-campus interviews will be available on your campus on JANUARY 25, 2008.
Don’t hesitate, apply now! Resume drop deadline for UBC on-campus interviews is JANUARY 21, 2008. Go to www.google.com/jobs/students/intern. Be sure to take a look at what we offer, the benefits interns receive, and all the fun Google interns have.
- Still can’t figure out the difference between a class and an object?

This lecture will present recent advances and central issues in multimedia signal processing, speech processing/recognition in particular, from the speaker’s personal industrial and academic perspectives. Multimedia technologies represent rich applications and interactions among a variety of information sources including speech, music/audio, graphics, animation, image, video, and text/language. They also span over wide-ranging information processing tasks including coding/compression, transmission/networking, analysis, synthesis, perception, recognition, understanding, and retrieval. Future multimedia technology development will require an increasing level of intelligence, for which modeling and learning are two central issues. As a concrete example, this lecture will focus on the development of speech recognition and understanding technology over the past four decades and elaborate on the key roles that modeling and learning have been playing in the technology development.
Li Deng was Professor at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, 1989–1999, and is currently Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, Redmond. He has published over 300 refereed papers in leading international conferences and journals, 15 book chapters, and two books. He has over 20 patents as inventor or co-inventor in acoustics, speech/language technology, multimedia/multi-sensor human-computer interaction, and signal processing. He currently serves on the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee and is Area Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine. He was a Technical Chair of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP04), and the General Chair of the IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing, 2006.
