innovative services to scientists based on state of the art technology. <br>
<br>
The successful candidates will customise NaCTeM's text mining tools and
services for improved information retrieval and information extraction (entity
recognition, fact extraction) from full texts. The successful candidates will
be part of a strong and dynamic team in bio-text mining located at the National
Centre for Text Mining which is hosted by the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType

text mining as well as excellent software engineering skills. The ability to
develop algorithms and software for NLP/TM systems and to produce experiments
for text mining applications using large data sets. Excellent knowledge
of natural language processing/text mining using machine learning techniques
and in particular named entity recognition, parsing, information extractionÍž
excellent knowledge of C, C++, Java, XML, Windows, Linux and Web Services. A
strong publication record and experience with biomedical text mining would be
an advantage.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
