[Corpora-List] Job Posting: postdoctoral researcher position at Singapore Management University

[JIANG Jing]

Postdoctoral researcher position available at the Singapore Management
University

 

The School of Information Systems at the Singapore Management University
is seeking to fill a postdoctoral researcher position for the project
"Transfer Learning for Adaptive Relation Extraction." This is a two-year
project supported by the Singapore DSO National Laboratories, starting
in May 2009.

 

The goal of the project is to develop adaptive learning algorithms for
relation extraction from free text. In real applications of relation
extraction, there is often insufficient training data available for the
target relations in the target domain, but labeled data from related
domains or for related relation types can be borrowed. The research
questions to be answered are therefore (1) how existing transfer
learning algorithms can be applied in the particular context of relation
extraction, (2) how human knowledge can be incorporated, and (3) what
new transfer learning techniques are needed for adaptive relation
extraction.

 

The postdoctoral candidate must have completed all requirements for
his/her PhD degree by the time of appointment. The ideal candidate is
expected to have the following skills/qualifications:

 

- Knowledge and experience in machine learning, data mining and
statistics/probabilities 

- Strong programming skills 

- Proficiency in English 

 

We also prefer candidates with 

 

- Knowledge and experience in natural language processing 

- Experience with information extraction, transfer learning and/or
semi-supervised learning is a plus 

 

The salary for the postdoctoral position will be around 5,000 SGD per
month.

 

To apply for the position, please send your full CV with list of
publications, names and contact information of two referees, a statement
of research qualifications and interests, and two sample publications
(if any) to jingjiang at smu.edu.sg <mailto:jingjiang at smu.edu.sg>  .
