AboutChuck Cosby Expertise I can answer questions about speech recognition and natural language understanding. I am particulary strong in knowedge based natural langauge techniques. I cannot answer questions about robotics, nueral nets, prolog, or vision recognition - just speech and natural language.
Experience I have spent 25 years developing natural language software products. I have never developed speech systems, but I have developed sophisticated interfaces from natural language to speech. I have been working with speech recognition systems also for 25 years.
Question Can you please tell me what type of student is best suited to a career in AI? Where is the US is the best place to study - how does Stanford stack up? Do you typically do an engineering degree with a major in computer science? What is the job market like for females?
Answer You need to be a really good software programmer. or at a minumum you got to be smart as hell. Stanford, yes, or MIT or Carnegie Mellon are all good schools. The kind of degree depends on the field of AI you are interested in. There are so many. Male / Female makes no diffence - it's only brains that count in this field.
