Dear All
Following is a job advert which we would be obliged could be posted
on. Apologies if you receive this message twice.
Division of Informatics
RESEARCH POSITION IN PROBABILISTIC NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
This project in the Institute for Communicating and Collaborative
Systems (ICCS) of the Division of Informatics is funded by EPSRC to
investigate the use of Categorial Grammars to support wide coverage
statistically guided natural language parsing. A large categorial
lexicon will be induced from labelled treebank corpora and the project
will extend head dependency-based techniques to the parsing of a wide
variety of problematic constructions involving long-range
dependencies, including relatives, parentheticals, non-constituent
fragments, and varieties of coordinate structures. The parser will
deliver both syntactic and semantic structure. Evaluation will be
both by comparison to existing large coverage parsers using standard
measures, and by application to information processing tasks. We seek
an individual to join an existing team of staff and postgraduate
students to assist development of such parsers and applications.
The ideal candidate will hold a degree in Computational Linguistics,
Computer Science, Linguistics, or Artificial Intelligence and have an
in interest both in linguistic analysis and parsing technology. S/he
will have practical experience in programming, developing grammars,
parsers, and probability models, and analysing linguistic corpora.
Salary scale: 16,286 - 18.185 pounds per annum. The post is for 3
years initially (subject to further funding).

The University
The University of Edinburgh has a student population of around 15,000
and employs nearly 2,000 Academic and Related staff, and some 3,500
non-teaching staff in the Clerical, Technical and Manual
categories. The main locations of the University are in the centre of
the city (South Side) and at King's Buildings some 2.5 miles away.
The Division of Informatics
Informatics is the study of the structure, behaviour, and interactions
of both natural and artificial computational systems. The Division was
formed in 1998 by combining the Department of Computer Science, the
Department of Artificial Intelligence, and the Centre for Cognitive
Science.
ICCS
The Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems (ICCS) is
dedicated to the pursuit of basic research into the nature of
communication among humans and between humans and machines using text,
speech, and graphics, and the design of interactive dialogue systems,
using computational and algorithmic approaches, with applications
including natural language processing, information retrieval and
presentation, education, musical analysis, and instruction.
The work of the Institute is crucially interdependent with work of
units at Edinburgh outwith Informatics, notably the Linguistics,
Philosophy, and Psychology Departments, with which it interacts via
the cross faculty Human Communication Research Centre (HCRC).
The members of ICCS comprise around forty-five academic and research
staff doing basic and applied research in a wide range of topics in
Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Computer Science
concerning dynamic aspects of cognition, including: computational
syntax and semantics and their interaction in processing; human
learning, human reasoning and psychologically realistic knowledge
representation; the production and analysis of cooperative
communication in a number of modalities including spoken and written
text and dialogue, graphics design and multimedia, and music. The
Language Technology Group pursues research within the Institute in a
number of application domains, including instructional and educational
systems, interactive information management systems and
computer-assisted collaboration tools.
