                                       PART-TIME RESEARCH POSITION
 
Position:
Half-Time Research Assistantship in an NLP Project at the Department
of Linguistics, SOAS, University of London for 17.5 hours a week.
 
Duration of Project:
Two years, from October 1, 1995
 
Salary:
Up to stlg10,000 a year for the half-time position, depending upon skills
and qualifications
 
Qualifications:
Ph.D in linguistics, computer science, or related fields preferred.
Advanced graduate students in these areas will be considered. Ability
to program in Prolog, handle Unix, and do some systems maintenance
work for a SUN SPARC 20 workstation is important. Background in
theoretical and/or computational linguistics (or AI/NLP) is required.
 
Project Description:
The project will design and implement algorithms for ellipsis resolution
in NL text which will run on top of a wide coverage parser. The project
will test the robustness of the algorithms on large corpora. Algorithms
for anaphora resolution will be integrated into a generalized ellipsis
resolution system. The project will also experiment with parallel
processing as well as sequential implementations of these algorithms.
