III. Background:
        The CKIP research group has been involved in fundamental
theoretical research as well as infrastructure-building work in
Chinese NLP for over the past 12 years. It has produced the first
Chinese electronic lexicon for NLP, the first tagged and balanced
corpus of Mandarin Chinese (the 5 million word Sinica Corpus), and
over one hundred scholarly papers. It has contributed substantively to
the account of Mandarin Chinese syntax and semantics, and has recently
open the new direction in Chinese lexical semantics. All five previous
post-doctoral fellows with CKIP now hold tenure-track positions with national
universities in Taiwan. Previous successful applicants received
their Ph.D.'s from the following international universities: Ohio
State University, Stanford University, University of Colorado,
University of Paris VII, UMIST, and National Tsing Hua University.
