Computational Linguistics and Speech Processing Lab
The Computational Linguistics and Speech Processing (CLaSP) lab at RIT is dedicated to advancing applied and theoretical research involving text, speech, dialogue, and multimodal data.
An area of focus is linguistic and multimodal sensing. CLaSP provides research opportunities for graduate (PhD and MS) and undergraduate students, and hosts a regular student research discussant series. The lab collaborates closely with other research groups on campus. Recently graduated former students have gone on to jobs in AI, software and user interface development, game development, human factors, etc. including employers such as EyeGaze Inc, ISI, Amazon, Digital Ocean, Apple, SpaceX, Qualcomm, Cogent Labs (Japan), UL-Wiklund, Athena Health, Commonwealth Care Aliance, Nordstrom Technologies, Facebook, Kensho, Constant Contact, Knewton, Kodak Alaris, Microsoft, IBM, Thompson Reuters, Smartvid, Interactive Brokers, and Pronology.
