Job Description
The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites
applications for the post of research fellow on the project
``Statistical Models of Text-to-Text Generation and their Role in
Practical Applications'', funded by the EPSRC. The project will design
and implement novel algorithms and techniques for text rewriting for a
number of key text-to-text generation applications. The project's aim
is to develop a general modeling framework for capturing alternative
ways of conveying the same information at the sentence and document
level.
The position is suitable for a candidate with a PhD in computational
linguistics, computer science, or a related discipline. The successful
applicant will have strong programming skills and experience with
natural language processing techniques (e.g., language modeling,
alignment methods, vector-space models, finite state methods, corpus
processing, evaluation, statistical generation). Experience with
lexicon acquisition and/or summarisation is also desirable. He or she
will be responsible for developing and testing computational models
for text rewriting, and for developing methods for the automatic
construction of redundancy-rich corpora. The starting date will be 01
February 2006, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Informal inquiries can be made by email to Mirella Lapata
(mlap_at_inf.ed.ac.uk). Further particulars for this position can be
found at:
The closing date for applications is 30 November 2004. Please submit
your application online at the URL given above or in hardcopy to the
