Dear Ralf,
thank you very much for the information. I am looking into the corpora you
pointed out, and I think they will actually be very useful for my research
:)
Best regards,
Germán Sanchis-Trilles

While the sentences in DGT-TM are not individually annotated, they are accompanied by a document identifier so that - with a bit of effort - you can retrieve the EuroVoc descriptors for these documents. DGT-TM exists in the same 22 languages and is downloadable from http://langtech.jrc.ec.europa.eu/DGT-TM.html .

Title: Biomedical Text mining Position available (job / PhD / Post-doc
position announcement)
Several types of contracts could be offered in our research group,
including Post-doctoral, PhD or post-graduate positions.
Salaries will depend on the type of position, expertise and academic
formation. Working language is English.

Publication record (Alfonso Valencia):
http://scholar.google.es/citations?user=4iB725QAAAAJ&hl=en
General description:
The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary team dealing with the
development and application of biomedical
text mining and natural language processing techniques. The overall aim
of this work is to develop and apply
text mining and natural language processing technologies to biomedical
literature, covering aspects related to
automatic text classification using machine learning methods, the
detection of entities of biological interest from
text and the extraction and ranking of biological relations from the
biomedical literature. A special focus will be
given to certain topics including: cancer-relevant gene detection and
relationship extraction.
Requirements:
(1) Applicants should have a solid formation in computational
linguistics, Natural Language Processing, text mining or
related areas.
(2) Ability to develop algorithms and software for needed by natural
language processing/text mining systems
(3) Programming skills are required, in at least one of the following
languages (Python, Perl, Java, C/C++, Ruby).
(4) Good English communication skills.
(5) Interest in the Biomedical field.
The expertise in the following points are a plus when applying for the
position:
- Formation on topics related to statistics and machine learning.
- Development of online web applications.
- Previous experience with biomedical texts.
- Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
- A good scientific publication record would be an advantage.
- Familiarity with NLP tasks such as named entity recognition,
information extraction and information retrieval.
Background on our research group:
The position is available in the group of Dr. Alfonso Valencia, Director
of the Structural Biology and Biocomputing Programme
at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre. The research group
contributed significantly to the biomedical text mining
research over the past years, from initial work related to the analysis
of protein families, microarray data and protein
interactions to the development of online applications such as the iHOP
server, PLAN2L or the BioCreative Metaserver.
The group collaborates with experimental biomedicine labs to integrate
NLP and text mining data with the results of
bioinformatics data. It has been co-organizing community evaluation
efforts in the BioNLP area, i.e. the BioCreative challenges.

literary, and aesthetic studies from 1 September 2012.
The fellowship is within the research project CATO (Contextual Aspects
of Text Organization) which is funded by the Norwegian Research
Council. CATO is about writing flow, and how writing flow can be
supported in future technical aids for weak writers. The applicant's
work will be within the specifications of this project. The research
is conducted in cooperation with professor Christer Johansson (UiB)
and associate professor Per Henning Uppstad (ReadingCenter at UiS).

Subject: Re: [Corpora-List] A doubt concerning posting in Corpora
Service.
To: corpora at uib.no
Dear members of CorporaList,
Some member of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra pragmatics groups are working
on a project about evidential and epistemic markers in five different
languages, namely Spanish, Catalan, English, French and German. We would be
very thankful if you could offer some help about the searching of oral
conversational corpora in those five languages, already transcribed, for
the purpose of our investigation. We have found some of them but they are
quite limited for our investigation or we have to pay for them, we wanted
first to have a look on the free versions. We guess you can draw a clear
panorama of the situation of oral corpora in these three languages.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Juan Antonio Chica Sabariego
