Description:

A position is expected to become available for a Research Associate to work
on statistical machine translation. The project, funded by the DARPA Broad
Operational Language Translation (BOLT) programme, will involve
collaboration with IBM TJ Watson Research Center and other leading
machine translation researcher groups in Europe and the USA. The aim of
the project is to dramatically improve statistical machine translation relative to
the current state of the art. The successful candidate will have a very good
first degree in a relevant discipline and preferably have a higher degree in
Engineering or Computer Science. Preference will be given to candidates
with experience in large-scale syntax-based statistical machine translation,
weighted finite state transducers, and machine learning and statistical pattern
processing techniques. As two of the languages of interest are Arabic and
Mandarin, fluency in either of these languages would be an advantage.
