Project title: Arabic Parsing

Job Category: Research Student Internship (6 months)

Location: Dublin City University, School of Computing, Dublin 9,
Ireland

Closing date for applications: 12 September 2010

The National Centre for Language Technology (NCLT) invites
applications from PhD research students or MSc research students to
join the NCLT/CNGL research team in the context of the Arabic Natural
Language Processing project funded by the Faculty of Engineering &
Computing.

The internship project aims to produce an efficient pre-processing
method for Arabic data in order to improve existing
statistical/machine-learning-based POS-taggers, morphological
analysers and parsing systems. This pre-processing will take the form
of date and numerical expression normalisation and
spelling/grammatical error correction with a view to parsing of
unrestricted Arabic text.

This project involves a considerable amount of research and technology
infrastructure building. Experience in Natural Language Processing is
required. Applicants should have a good grounding in Statistical
Parsing, Machine Learning-based NLP, and a good knowledge of Arabic
grammar would be ideal.

The internship will be for a max. of 6 months (October 2010 – March
2011) and we will pay a stipend of €1300 per month to cover living
expenses (This amount is not liable to tax).

To apply, email Dr. Lamia Tounsi (lamia dot tounsi at computing dot
dcu dot ie) attaching a recent CV and contact details for two
references.
