[Corpora-List] Cambridge University - Research Associate in Statistical Machine Translation

[Bill Byrne]

A position is expected to become available for a Research Associate to work on statistical machine translation. The project, funded by the DARPA Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT) programme, will involve collaboration with IBM TJ Watson Research Center and other leading machine translation researcher groups in Europe and the USA. The aim of the project is to dramatically improve statistical machine translation relative to the current state of the art. The successful candidate will have a very good first degree in a relevant discipline and preferably have a higher degree in Engineering or Computer Science. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in large-scale syntax-based statistical machine translation, weighted finite state transducers, and machine learning and statistical pattern processing techniques. As two of the target languages are Arabic and Mandarin, fluency in either of these languages would be an advantage.
