Description:

The research programmer position is funded by the Norwegian Research Council
and is associated with the project Universal Natural Language Understanding.
The overall goal of the project is to create semantic representations in the
form of Discourse Representation Structures from Universal Dependencies syntax
trees, by using both rule-based techniques from Glue Semantics and (neural)
machine learning approaches in a process that normalizes the syntax trees,
rewrites the nodes as lambda terms in a course-grained, language-independent
manner and composes them. 

In addition, the project will do language-specific enrichment of the resulting
semantic representations based on available lexical resources for Norwegian.
Prospective applicants who want to know more about the project should contact
the PI, Professor Dag Haug.

The research programmer will be part of the project's core team together with
a PhD fellow, a postdoctoral fellow and the PI. The research programmer will
be in charge of the implementation and maintenance of the overall NLP system
that the project builds. The programmer will have opportunities to co-author
publications in the project.
