[Corpora-List] job: Senior Research Scientist at Xerox Research Centre Europe

[Henderson, James]

The Parsing & Semantics research area at Xerox Research Centre Europe 
(XRCE) is currently looking for an experienced researcher in statistical 
natural language processing (NLP), with a deep understanding of machine 
learning for NLP.  The ideal candidate would have experience or 
knowledge of parsing, information extraction, weak supervision, textual 
entailment, and combining machine learning with expert knowledge.  
Awareness of the healthcare domain is a plus.  The applicant should have 
a strong publication record and good coding skills.  The seniority of 
the appointment will depend on qualifications.

The successful candidate will be expected to identify challenging 
problems, develop novel solutions, and work with business and 
development teams to ensure that these solutions have a significant 
impact.  Senior researchers are expected to also lead research 
projects.  We work together with top academic partners and expect our 
researchers to publish results in top-tier conferences and journals.  We 
also have multiple open innovation collaborations with academic partners 
world-wide.

The Parsing & Semantics group concentrates on automatically 
understanding text using syntactic and semantic analysis.  The group 
focuses on natural language processing methods for robust parsing, 
semantic analysis, and information discovery, including the role of 
context in determining meaning.  We are particularly interested in 
statistical models that exploit many sources of information, such as 
context, corpora, domain knowledge, knowledge bases, and task 
performance.  The Parsing & Semantics group collaborates closely with 
the Machine Learning for Services group and the Machine Learning for 
Document Access and Translation group.  We are also interested in 
applying research results to practical applications and real-world 
problems.  Our general application focus is on converting unstructured 
text into structured information, including facts and opinions.  The 
solutions we develop play a key role in Xerox's next generation document 
and business process outsourcing services in domains such as customer 
care, health care, financial services, and market analysis.
