| More Information: | PhD position Computational Semantics (1,0 fte) at the University of
Groningen, Netherlands
Applications are invited for a PhD candidate in the area of
computational semantics. This position is part of the NWO-funded vici
project "Lost in Tranlation -- Found in Meaning" that started in the
fall of 2015. This project is/will be staffed by the PI (Prof Johan
Bos), two PhDs, and two postdoc researchers. The aim of this project
is to develop a cross-lingual semantic formalism in order to
investigate under what linguistic conditions literal translations are
unsuitable and to determine which linguistic and contextual features
allow for meaning differences in translation. The current vacancy is
for a PhD who aims to develop a semantic parsing framework that
adequately model meaning gaps between source and target texts of
translations and apply and evaluate this model on large parallel
corpora. For more information on this project, please visit:
