Date: Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 12:06 PM<br>Subject: internship at Lincoln Lab<br>To: <a href="mailto:r-h-t@mit.edu" target="_blank">r-h-t@mit.edu</a><br><br><br>Hey. I'm looking for someone to intern at MIT Lincoln Lab this summer,<br>
working on writing a "game with a purpose". The idea is to build a<br>
game (web or mobile) that produces useful training/evaluation data for<br>
natural language processing algorithms as people play. (A classic game<br>
with a purpose is the ESP Game, which helps generate image tags.<br>
<a href="http://www.gwap.com/gwap/gamesPreview/espgame/" target="_blank">http://www.gwap.com/gwap/gamesPreview/espgame/</a>) We'd be working with<br>
you to design the game and to figure out how to improve it once a<br>
prototype is in place. If you have any questions or are interested,<br>
please let me know! More details below.<br>
<br>
Alya<br>
<br>
<br>
Where: MIT Lincoln Lab (accessible by shuttle from campus)<br>
Desired skills/experience:<br>
* Experience with creating, deploying and operating a new application<br>
* Web development experience (css, html, javascript), OR<br>
* Mobile platform development experience (Android or iPhone)<br>
<br>
<br>
Job Title: Summer Interactive Media Developer<br>
State: Massachusetts<br>
City: Lexington<br>
Description: The Intelligence and Decision Technologies Group is a<br>
multi-disciplinary team supporting deployed U.S. and allied military<br>
forces around the world, including current theater operations. The<br>
group develops advanced technologies for processing and integrating<br>
data from a variety of sources, such as radar, electro-optic video<br>
sensors, and related unstructured textual data, to support timely and<br>
effective human decision making. These problems are addressed by<br>
understanding the intelligence analysts' work flow processes and by<br>
developing suitable exploitation automation systems. The group<br>
develops efficient data and network management software systems to<br>
transform high-volume data streams into tactically useful information<br>
for human analysts. Technical disciplines required include<br>
mathematical modeling and multi-source information fusion methods<br>
based upon statistical and graphical models and the software<br>
engineering skills to implement them in net-centric and cloud-based<br>
systems.<br>
<br>
A summer research intern is needed to prototype novel concepts for<br>
intelligence data exploitation based on online gaming and/or crowd<br>
sourcing. Citizen science projects such as Foldit and Stardust@home<br>
effectively harness the efforts of amateur volunteers using the<br>
internet. Games with a Purpose (<a href="http://gwap.com" target="_blank">gwap.com</a>) produce valuable human click<br>
work, such as image tagging, at large scales by offering<br>
entertainment. Similar concepts could be developed to improve and<br>
stimulate the analysis of intelligence data by non-experts. Possible<br>
data sources include video, imagery, radar data, or text.<br>
<br>
Ideal candidates will be working toward a BS or an MS in Computer<br>
Science. Good coding skills in a high level language such as Java or<br>
Python in a networked environment are required. Experience with html,<br>
web applications/services, and game engines is a plus.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
