<pre wrap="">Funded Ph.D. scholarship in Bitext Creation and Automatic Annotation
2004-2007
The School of Computing and the National Centre for Language
Technology has secured a studentship for a Science Foundation
Ireland-funded Basic Research project on Bilingual Corpus Development
and Automatic Annotation. The project starts October 2004. Funding
is for 3 years at a rate of euro 12,000 p/a and fees.
The research involves automatic Bilingual Sub-Sentential
tree/dependency alignment using probabilistic Lexical-Functional
Grammars (LFG). The resources built will be used in the area of
Corpus-Based Probabilistic Machine Translation.
Our ideal candidates have a strong background in Computing,
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing with
programming experience in one or more of Java, Perl, C++, Prolog, Lisp
etc. Competence in a language in addition to English will be an
asset. Knowledge of LFG, HPSG or similar constraint-based grammatical formalisms will be useful. A strong interest in and motivation for research are essential.
To apply, please send us a short CV together with contact details for
two references by Friday August 6th, 2004.
