[Corpora-List] 2 postdoc and 1 PhD position in statistical machine translation in France

[Loïc BARRAULT]

The computer science laboratory of the University of Le Mans (LIUM) has
openings for two postdoc and one PhD position in the field of statistical
machine translation.

LIUM performs research in statistical machine translation since several
years and we are particularly interested in new machine learning methods.
Ongoing work includes continuous space language and translation models,
unsupervised training, comparable corpora, translation model adaptation,
domain specific models, integration of linguistic knowledge, etc.

LIUM is involved in several international projects, in particular
*EuromatrixPlus*, *Gale* and several French national projects (e.g.
http://www.cosmat.fr <http://www.cosmat.fr/>). We have very successfully
participated in several international evaluations, in particular NIST'09 or
WMT'10. A large computer cluster is available to support the research.

The postdoc positions are immediately available and the PhD will start in
October 2010. Competitive salaries are available. Postdoc candidates must
have a proven experience in machine learning, NLP and SMT, ideally with the
Moses decoder. We are very actively working on large systems to translate
from *Arabic* and *Chinese* and we are therefore interested in a postdoc
with knowledge in one of those languages.

Le Mans is located in between Paris and the Atlantic ocean. Both can be
reached in about 1 hour by high speed train. The Loire valley with many
wineries and other attractions is just a short drive away ...
