Description:

One (1) fully-funded PhD on Language Technologies for Cultural
Heritage at Università di Bologna.

Within the initiatives of the Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza
(National Recovery and Resilience Plan), the Department of
Interpreting and Translation of University of Bologna has secured
funds for a fully-paid three-year PhD grant in the program on
“Translation, Interpreting, and Intercultural Studies” starting in
November 2023.

The topic of the PhD grant is the automatic generation of definitional
contexts across languages to boost the comprehensibility of complex
terms. The project has special focus on (Italian) gastronomy. We
welcome candidates with relevant backgrounds in natural language
processing, digital humanities, and/or computing science. We encourage
students with programming skills and knowledge of machine learning
approaches to natural language processing. The official working title
of the project is “Machine Translation for Italian Intangible
Heritage”.

The student will depart from ongoing work within projects !Trans and
GastroWiki. (S)he will work together with another student carrying out
her/his own PhD research on a comparative study of Italian and Chinese
gastronomy and will join a growing research group with four professors
(covering disciplines across computer science and linguistics) and
five 2nd- and 3rd-year PhD students.
