Powerset internship opportunity

[Tracy Holloway King]

The Natural Language Engineering group at Powerset, a Microsoft
company, is looking for candidates for a 2010 summer internship at
their San Francisco office.  Exact dates are flexible; all internships
are 12 weeks.

The internship project will center around multiword expressions (e.g.
noun-noun compounds) and ways in which to improve their analysis for
search applications.  The Powerset NLP technology includes
finite-state morphologies, a log-linear name tagger, an LFG grammar,
and a set of semantics rules.  The exact nature of the project will
depend on the interests and background of the intern.

Applicants must be PhD students.  US citizenship is not required.

To apply for the internship, submit an application via:

   http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/jobs/intern/default.aspx

Please mention natural language processing or computational
linguistics in the application.  (Note that the San Francisco campus
does not list NLP as a research interest; do not worry about this.)
By submitting your application, you will also be considered for
internships at other campuses, such as Microsoft Research in Redmond,
WA and Mountain View, CA.

Please contact Tracy Holloway King (Tracy "dot" King "at" microsoft
"dot" com) with questions about this internship.
