The LTA/ILSP group conducts basic and applied research in the field of 
Natural Language Processing; its main aim is to design computational 
models for natural language recognition and understanding. In 
particular, LTA has expertise in building digital monolingual, 
multilingual and multimedia corpora, and in developing technologies for 
text processing and analysis and multimodal and multilingual information 
processing and retrieval. One of the on-going strands of research within 
the LTA group is the computational modelling of semantic relations 
between language and sensorimotor representations (visual and motoric, 
images and body movements/gestures respectively) in everyday 
interaction, for a range of Artificial Intelligence applications. Both 
advertised posts are associated to this strand of research and in 
particular, to the newly funded FP7 project POETICON 
<http://www.ilsp.gr/poeticon_eng.htm>, which starts in January 2008 and
