COMPUTATIONAL LINGUIST for Japanese Lexicography
The NLP Group in Microsoft Research is looking for a computational
lexicographer for Japanese. The position will be located on the
Microsoft central campus in Redmond, Washington, USA. This is a great
opportunity to work with a dedicated group of researchers who are
creating a system for unrestricted text understanding and generation.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The lexicographer's primary responsibilities include maintaining the
dictionary and developing and maintaining the morphological rules for
Japanese, in accordance with the overall system architecture used by
the Microsoft Research NLP group.
QUALIFICATIONS:
The lexicographer's qualifications should include experience in
linguistic research and online dictionary development, programming
experience, keen interest in lexical issues, and an advanced degree in
linguistics or a closely related discipline. Native proficiency in
Japanese is assumed. A practical orientation is highly desirable.
Significant programming experience or experience extracting lexical
information from online dictionaries or corpora would be a plus.
ABOUT THE MICROSOFT NLP RESEARCH GROUP:
We are in the process of designing and building a system to analyze
unrestricted natural language, taking input text, and moving from
lexical/morphological analysis through syntax, semantics, and
eventually pragmatics and discourse. A generation component is also
planned. The programming system and underlying principles that are
used for English have been found to be applicable to other languages.
We are empirically oriented, and are happy to use good linguistic
ideas wherever they can be found. A reasonable first-version summary
of our techniques and some of our experience can be found in the book
"Natural Language Processing: The PLNLP Approach," Kluwer Academic
Publishers, Boston, 1993.
