AI Research Internship for Undergraduates in France. Apply Now!
The Johns Hopkins University Center for Language and Speech Processing is organizing the Ninth Frederick Jelinek Memorial Summer Workshop from June 12 to August 4, 2023, this year hosted at the University of Le Mans, France. We are seeking outstanding members of the current junior class enrolled in US-universities to join this residential research experience in human language technologies (HLT) from June 12 to August 4th, 2023.
The internship includes a comprehensive 2-week summer school on HLT, followed by intensive research projects on select topics for 6 weeks.
The 8-week workshop provides an intense, dynamic intellectual environment. Undergraduates work closely alongside senior researchers as part of a multi-university research team, which has been assembled for the summer to attack HLT problem of current interest.

Teams and Topics
The teams and topics for 2023 are:
- Better Together: Text + Context
- Finite State Methods with Modern Neural Architectures for Speech Application and Beyond
- Automatic Design of Conversational Models from Observation of Human-to-Human Conversation
- Interpretability for Spoken Interactions: How Can We Use Embeddings to Explain Diarization Decisions?
We hope that this highly selective and stimulating will encourage students to pursue graduate study in HLT and AI, 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 $6,000 stipend and $2,800 towards meals and incidental expenses

More Research Tools & Services
SnapGene is the leading molecular biology software for planning, visualizing, and documenting molecular biology procedures. CUIT manages Columbia's multi-seat, standard license, allowing any Columbia researcher (CU or CUIMC) to purchase the software at a cost of approximately $100/license/year. SnapGene also integrates with LabArchives for easy sharing and unlimited file storage. Email [email protected] if you would like to purchase a license.
Pivot connects researchers to internal and external funding opportunities, and also includes a directory of scholarly profiles to match researchers with collaborators. Pivot is sponsored by the Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) and the Health Sciences Library.
Pivot is free to use, and is available to all Columbia University faculty, students and administrators
Yes! Our Secure Data Enclave (SDE) service was created to facilitate collaborative analysis of sensitive datasets, and is approved for PII and PHI data.
Yes! CUIT offers several option for data transfer, depending on your needs. For example, Globus is a free service that you can use to share non-sensitive data quickly and reliably. Alternatively, LabArchives is another free option that is approved for PII, RHI and PHI data transfer. If your needs are more customized, check out CUIT's Box and Columbia Data Platform (CDP) services.
Yes! We have developed support documentation for each of our HPC clusters:
We also offer a three-part series of workshops every fall and spring semester to introduce new users to Linux, Linux shell scripts, and an overview of using HPC. Check the Research Computing Services' page for registration details.
