*Summary*
Applications are invited for two Ph.D. positions in Machine Translation 
at the ILLC (University of Amsterdam).

Both positions are four-year Early Stage Researcher pre-doctoral 
positions. The positions are part of the new EU Framework 7 Marie-Curie 
Network EXPERT, <http://expert-itn.eu/> concerned with the exploitation 
of empirical approaches to machine translation, including statistical 
machine translation and example-based machine translation.

The two positions at the ILLC (UvA) concern research towards:


        Position 1

Exploiting hierarchical alignments for linguistically-informed SMT 
models to meet the hybrid approaches that aim at compositional 
translation (UvA, including 3-month visit to USAAR and 3-month visit to 
USFD)


        Position 2

Exploiting hierarchical alignments for a semantically-enriched SMT 
system that offers an extension to existing TMs to allow incremental, 
recursive partial match of the input using hierarchical constructions 
containing variables (UvA, including 3-month visit to UoW, 2-month visit 
to Wordfast and 1-month visit to Hermes).
