The Cross Language Technologies group at Xerox Research Centre (XRCE)
in Grenoble, France, invites applications for an internship on the use
of Textual Entailment to Statistical Machine Translation.

We are looking for preferably one (in this case the internship would
be for 10 months ) or two interns (in this case each internship would
last 5 months with the first starting at the beginning of 2009) to
work on this topic under the supervision of XRCE researchers, and in
collaboration with our partners.

The ideal candidate will be a strong Master or Ph.D. student with
background in statistical machine translation and/or statistical
methods in NLP. The candidate will be fluent in C/C++ and/or Python.

Knowledge and practice of Machine Learning models and tools will be a
plus, as will be the previous acquaintance with work on Textual
Entailment.
