Subject: Job openings at Cycorp, Inc.
Cycorp, a leader in development of software with common sense, has
opportunities for several individuals to join us as knowledge
enterers.
These positions involve working with the Cyc(TM) technology -- an
immense, broad, multi-contextual knowledge base which our group has
developed over the last fourteen years. The Cyc(TM) knowledge base,
spanning fundamental human knowledge, enables a multitude of
knowledge-intensive products and services which will revolutionize the
way in which people use and interact with computers: semantic
information retrieval, consistency-checking of structured information,
deductive integration of heterogeneous data bases, natural language
interfaces able to cope with realistic levels of
ambiguity/terseness/contextualization, and many more.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to contribute to our
ongoing knowledge entry effort. Knowledge enterers formalize facts,
rules of thumb, and heuristics for reasoning about the objects and
events of everyday life. Facility with logic is essential for the
position (especially first-order predicate calculus, nonmonotonic
reasoning, and 2nd-order and higher quantification.) Knowledge of
metaphysics, semantics, linguistics and/or computer programming a
plus.
For further information about our company and our technology, please
visit our Website at www.cyc.com
For immediate consideration, please send your resume and a cover
letter to:
Kathleen Black
Cycorp Inc.
3721 Executive Center Drive, Suite 100
Austin TX 78731
Please refer to "Knowledge Entry" in your cover letter.
Cycorp is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
