3/ From: Naomi Hallan <naomi.hallan at phil.tu-chemnitz.de>
Subject: Chemnitz University
WANTED: Graduate (Languages/Linguistics/Teaching/...) with good
Internet-computing skill
The English Linguistics department at the Chemnitz University of Technology
is looking for someone to join an on-going research project. The post would
be initially for 18 months, with a possibility of an extension if there is a
further phase of the project, starting on 1st June 2000 or as soon as
possible thereafter. Payment is on the Bat IIa (Ost) scale, with the salary
level dependent on age and experience. The project, "Learner Behaviour in
the Internet Grammar", http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/InternetGrammar/, is part
of an inter-disciplinary research group "New media in everyday life", funded
by the German Research Association (Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft).
What is the Internet Grammar?
We are building a grammar-learning environment, accessible using a
web-browser, for advanced learners of English. We are using material from a
variety of corpora, including our own English-German Translation Corpus, to
provide examples and material for exercises wherever possible. The software
infra-structure which we have designed makes it possible to track user
behaviour in great detail, and we are hoping to discover how different types
of learners interact with language teaching material presented on the Web.
What would you do?
We need someone to take over the care of our software infra-structure and
help us to develop it further. You would work with the other members of the
team, who are responsible for designing and writing content and, in part,
for preparing it for insertion in the grammar. Your tasks would be:
(a) to maintain the existing structures, which involve cgi scripts, corpus
search facilities and interactive animations, as well as the more
conventional elements of a web-site;
(b) to assist with the extraction and analysis of learner data;
(d) to help extend the functionality of the grammar, both for users and
researchers, through the development of new features and the improvement of
existing ones.
Qualifications:
You will have a degree in a relevant subject and be able to show possession
of the necessary software skills - such as cgi and perl or javascript, in
addition to html - or a willingness to acquire them very rapidly. You should
also have an interest in the use of the Web and corpora for language
teaching and learning. You should enjoy working in a team and value the
opportunity to help with the further development of our project. The working
language of the project is English, so fluency would be an advantage.
Working in Chemnitz?
Apart from the satisfaction of helping to see an exciting research project
to its completion, you would have the advantage of a stimulating university
environment in a city which is growing and changing every day. Low rents for
well-equipped apartments in elegant newly restored houses; leafy suburbs,
beautiful countryside; a varied and vigorous cultural life (opera,
world-class art exhibitions, cabaret . . . ); all these in one of the most
enterprising and economically active cities in the "new" German states.
Please send a CV and covering letter as soon as possible to:
Prof. Dr. Josef Schmied
Englische Sprachwissenschaft
Technische Universit”t Chemnitz
D-09107 Chemnitz, Germany.
e-mail to: realcentre at phil.tu-chemnitz.de

Job - Linguistic Programmer
Responsibilities - Getty Images have vast sources of text attached to
imagery that need to be indexed automatically in some manner for
searching and retrieval purposes. Primary responsibilities involve
development of a semantic or syntactic tagger for natural language
English. The tagger should be based on a controlled vocabulary developed
and currently in use at Getty Images. The most important aspect of the
work is the programming of these NLP tools, rather than finding
linguistic solutions for functionality designs etc. Other job tasks
involve metadata integration projects, various smaller NLP tool
developments and machine-readable vocabulary development. This work is
mainly for the creative professional (gettyone) and the editorial Getty
Images channels (gettysource), see http://www.gettyimages.com
Qualifications -
- Strong programming skills (knowledge of C++, Perl or other)
- Some knowledge of grammatical theories is preferred
- Some understanding of NL parsing theory (which may include statistical
and/or corpus-based parsing methods, tagger development)
- Experience in computational lexicography or computational linguistics
and online dictionary development andawareness of current NLP technology
and available vocabularies
- A degree in linguistics or computer science or a closely related
discipline is preferred.

Cycorp (http://www.cyc.com/) has begun to harness the power of its
Cyc(TM) common sense knowledge base and reasoning system to do
semantic and pragmatic disambiguation of English. Currently we are
working on new and exciting clarification dialogue interfaces for Cyc
itself and for Cyc-based applications. These include applications for
smart Web searching, question and answer dialogues, and speech
understanding, to name just a few.
Join the team building this one-of-a-kind interactive dialogue front
end. You will create formal representations of natural language
expressions and phenomena, as well as develop applications to exploit
such representations.
Candidates for these positions must be familiar with formal logic,
and have sound fundamentals in English usage, syntax, and semantics.
In addition, one or more of the following would be a plus:
Knowledge of discourse structure, pragmatics, and dialog modeling
Experience with the influence of semantic distinctions on syntax
Familiarity with formal semantic analysis
Facility with knowledge representation and other AI tools and
techniques
Knowledge of constraint-based grammatical theories
Understanding of NL parsing theory (statistical, corpus-based, etc.)
Experience in applying that knowledge (computational NLU systems)
Experience in computational lexicography
Experience in natural language generation
Knowledge of NL interface design and human cognitive considerations
Programming skills, especially in Lisp or Scheme
General Information:
All technical positions at Cycorp involve working with the Cyc(TM)
technology -- an immense, broad, multi-contextual knowledge base and
efficient inference system which our group has developed over the last
16 years and 400 person-years. The Cyc knowledge base, spanning
fundamental "consensus" human knowledge, enables a multitude of
knowledge-intensive products and services which will revolutionize the
way in which people use and interact with computers: semantic
information retrieval, consistency-checking of structured information,
deductive integration of heterogeneous data bases, natural language
interfaces able to cope with realistic levels of
ambiguity/terseness/contextualization, and many more.
Cycorp is located in Austin, TX. We are an equal opportunity employer.
