The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites

paradigm. The overall aim is to utilize global inference algorithms
for the summarization task and demonstrate their superiority over
traditional local optimization methods.

The position is suitable for a candidate with a PhD in Natural
Language Processing, computer science, mathematics, or a related
discipline. The successful applicant will have strong programming
skills and experience with natural language processing techniques and
machine learning. Experience with summarization and/or optimization

developing summarization models (both extractive and abstractive)
within a global inference framework evaluation and for their
evaluation. The starting date will be 01 September 2008, or as soon as
possible thereafter.
