[Marco Baroni]

PhD positions and studentships are available  in the Language, 
Interaction and Computation track of the PhD program offered by the 
Center for Mind/Brain Sciences at the University of Trento:

http://www.cimec.unitn.it/

The Language, Interaction & Computation track is offered by CLIC, an 
interdisciplinary group of researchers studying verbal and non-verbal 
communication using both computational and cognitive methods.

http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/

Areas of particular interest include:

*     The study of the use of semantic and encyclopedic knowledge in 
communication. We try to connect work of a theoretical nature in 
linguistics and computer science (formal linguistics, lexical 
semantics, ontological modeling) with empirical data-intensive 
approaches based on statistics and text mining (lexical acquisition 
from textual data and multimodal sources) as well as behavioral and 
neuroscientific evidence on conceptual representation in the mind/brain.

*     The study of multimodal communication, in which agents 
communicate using (and keeping in mind what is expressed with) a 
variety of expressive means that go from verbal expressions to 
gestures as well as in the direction of a look, and that can also use 
images and diagrams. Both the cognitive/linguistic aspects of this 
type of communication as well as the possible technological 
applications are studied in various types of interfaces.
