[Corpora-List] summer internship on 'ontology-based lexicon generation' at DERI - National University of Ireland, Galway

[Paul Buitelaar]

The Unit for Natural Language Processing at the Digital Enterprise
Research Institute (DERI: http://www.deri.ie/) of the National
University of Ireland, Galway invites applications for a

summer internship on ontology-based lexicon generation

The internship will be concerned with development of methods for the
semi/automatic generation of multilingual lexicons for domain
ontologies, exploiting web-based and language resources. The work will
be carried out in the context of an ongoing research cooperation with
the Delft University of Technology, Karlsruhe University and DFKI on the 
definition and implementation of 'lexicalized ontologies' according to 
the LexInfo model: http://ontoware.org/projects/lexonto/

Internships are aimed at undergraduate students, with a duration of 3-6
months and will be enumerated with €1000 per month.

DERI is a leading research institute in semantic technologies that
offers a stimulating, dynamic and multi-cultural research environment,
excellent ties to research-groups worldwide, close collaboration with
industrial partners and up-to-date infrastructure and resources. The
DERI Unit for Natural Language Processing (http://nlp.deri.ie/) has a
focus on applied research in ontology-based information extraction,
semantic-level text mining and the use of linguistic and semantic
methods in information retrieval. The unit develops methods for the
efficient application of NLP tools in combination with domain semantics
as specified in ontologies, thesauri and other knowledge organisation
systems for relevant use cases. Research is carried out in close
cooperation with the DERI Unit for Information Mining and Retrieval
(http://uimr.deri.ie/) in the context of the DERI Semantic Information
Mining stream (http://sim.deri.ie/) as well as with other DERI units.

Please send an expression of interest, preferably with links to relevant
previous study and/or research experience, by May 15th to:
