Job title: Automatic Acquisition of lexicon

Automatic acquisition of Persian compound verbs (complex predicates) and their
semantic and syntactic properties from available online corpora (Wiki, etc.),
with the possibility of extension to other related languages (ex. Pashto,
Kurdish, etc.)

Job rank: Post Doc

Duration: One year

Job Location: Paris

University/laboratory: Sorbonne Paris Cité University, “Mondes iranien et

(http://www.inria.fr/equipes/alpage) laboratories

Salary: 2000 to 2400 euros per month (according to the applicant's
experience), net of taxes

Application deadline: 18th March 2016

Interview: April 2016

Job description

The project consists in automatically enriching the PersPred database
(http://perspred.cnrs.fr/), the first online syntactic and semantic
multilingual database dedicated to Persian compound verbs (complex
predicates). PersPred currently has 1600 entries. We aim at considerably
improving the coverage of the database (by tripling the number of entries). We
are also interested in the possibility of applying the methods elaborated for
enriching PersPred to develop similar resources for other Iranian languages
(Kurdish or Pashto, for instance, which like Persian resort to compound verbs.
 
Required Qualifications

Applicants should have a PhD in computational linguistics or computer science
with an excellent knowledge in natural language processing. Familiarity with
methods of automatic acquisition of lexical knowledge about multiword
predicates is desirable.

Knowledge of Persian or at least familiarity with the Arabic script would be
highly appreciated. 

Job Context

The project is a part of the work package LR41 (Morphological and syntactic
resources for Iranian language), of the strand 6 of the Labex EFL. It will be
carried out under the joined supervision of Pollet Samvelian (for the
linguistic component) and Benoît Crabbé (for the computational component).  

Application submission

Applicants are invited to send to Pollet Samvelian
(pollet.samvelian at univ-paris3.fr), Benoît Crabbé
(bcrabbe at linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr) and Cédric Gendrot
