Job Rank: Scientist  

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 


Description:

The selected scientist engages in research to create supervised and
semi-supervised machine learning information extraction systems to extract
information from unstructured documents and data and to incorporate such
systems into a Semantex engine. They will design and implement machine
learning algorithms, such as maximum entropy, hidden Markov Models, kernel
methods and semi-supervised learning algorithms. They will need to make use
of knowledge of statistical methods and syntactic and semantic theories.
Furthermore, they will create and implement a statistical semantic role
labeling software system, using generalized constituent grammar features.
They will provides effective solutions to named entity recognition and
particularly organization name recognition. This position requires Master's
degree in Computer Science and successful completion of coursework in
Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning.  EEO.
